Pretty good deal, for a great player (better than ipod IMO).

Arent there some Dell coupons going around that could be used to put this around the same price without rebate?

This is the cheapest price I've seen for a Creative M (previous cheapest was ~$159).

I ordered a Creative Zen Vision W and i almost was half tempted to go with this after i found it but i think the zen vision w is just calling my name.

Traded my Zen M 60Gb for 30 Gb iPod. What I disliked in Zen? Everything besides of video. If you need a video player and you stick with WIndows, then Zen will be worth of that.

Wow, you really must have hated it if you traded in for half the memory.

Only thing I can find inferior with it is it doesnt have the famous click wheel like the ipods. And it may not have as many (overpriced) accessories as the ipod does.

But to each his own.

I hated trying to control my Zen Vision M while jogging, just couldn't deal with it. For sitting on a plane or on the potty it is fine, though. I jumped at $199...this is hellacious good price.

I love my Zen, I gave my brand new iPod to my Dad. Sure the iPod is looks cooler but I like the zen features better.
At this price my sister may be interested in getting a Zen.

I agree. Feature setis better. The only thing with ipods is some people love itunes and some don't. I think wmp 11 is just fine to me. Oh yes the accessories that youc an get with ipods also rock but they are quite expensive. In researching mp3 players no mp3 player is perfect. For example
Ipod
Cons: no FM tuner, Can not use as hard drive, itunes is the only manager you can use.

Creative:
PodCast: While it does have zencast its not nearly as good as podcast support in itunes. I got the :w version which is about the same price as the ipod but has a WONDERFUL screen for watching video. At first this didn't excite me but hey i can download torrents of my favorite tv/UFC and watch them at work. Pretty cool.

Zune:
Podcast: No direct support at all for podcast. MS has stated they will add it later but who knows when. This made me mark the zune off of my list because podcast was important to me.

Thanks OP. My daughter's old old Zen crapped out and she needed a new one. Good deal with the extra google $10 off
