You can get a 30gb Zen Xtra for $179.99 which has better sound quality (IMO), better battery life, just as easy interface to use (with scroll wheel), many useful sound/playlist/more features.


should I get this instead of the dell dj? I really want a hd mp3 player that plays wma... I like the inline remote on the dj.....grrr so many choices

I would highly reccomend against the zen. I had one and did not like it very much. Bad software, and most importantly, it was huge! For a budget conscious person I'd reccomend a Rio Karma.

Same thing happened to me at the Burbank store. They called me and gave me the same crap excuse about not having it in stock. They told me that last one they had was defective and sent it back. Since it was dicontinued they won't get anymore.

Yeah, it looks like the third generation model with the buttons above the wheel. I wouldn't complain though. OOS in NYC according to the website.

I wonder why would they advertise something they don't have? Typical Cr@pUSA I guess, I will print out the add and check a few stores tomorrow.

I think CompUsa had a misprint and now its saying that the ones it has are defective. I checked online which CompUsa had the ipods and only burbank did. So I called my local CompUsa in montclaire and they said they had 3 in stock and all 3 were defective. So I'm calling a bluff on Comp Usa's part.

I guess I grabbed the last one (according to the website) in the Detroit, MI area. Problem is, my printer is busted and I cant go to the store until Tuesday. Since they didnt charege, do you think I should if I can? I was about to buy a 1gig USB pen drive and I will probably use it 50/50 as a music player/ file mover.

WOW ! Excellent find. Checked my local stores and both have them in stock. My older son wanted on for his 16th birthday and @ $250.00 for the 20GB it was out of my $ range. He's going to be surprised by this. Thanks.

That's great. I really wanted one of those but they got none in the Phoenix area.

none in my area, not worth driving up to burbank for one either, *shrugs* meh, looks like burbank is screwing people over anyway. Nice find if someone actually gets in on it, i hate compusa, this just adds to it.

They have one in my area at 1 store. Is this the new Ipod? I don't have an mp3 player so will this be worth it? Their website says it's the new slim Ipod.

It looks like its 3rd gen which is the second newest version...

I probably won't buy it.

For all you people in VA, they have it at the woodbridge CompUsa. Enter 22033 for your zip.

Check in Anand's reviews of the Dell DJ. I *think* that the Dell is a rebadged/redone Creative.

It isn't wholly a rebadged Creative. But is made and manufactured by Creative. If you are anti-iPod then I would recommend getting a Dell DJ. Because unlike Creative, they offer a 1 year warranty on the Dell DJ. The Zen only has a whopping 90-days warranty. The DJ is also smaller than the Zen by lots. Which makes me believe they have better parts in the DJ, thus Dell is comfortable giving a 1 year warranty.

i thought 10gb ipods were gone since g4s came out... when did they start making them again? they just recently killed the 15gb line too. are these an old batch or refurbished possibly?
