*This is web only, but you have to go into a CC store to get the PM, but you can also do an instore pickup*
I was looking into getting a HDD based mp3 player and I saw that the creative zen was supposed to be highly rated one that is below $200 (which is my price point).
Wal-mart has it for here 174.63 walmart price of 174.63
Circuit City has it for 239.99 Circuit City for 239.99
But there is a $20 MIR from circuit city that ends today 11/23
You can also recieve a 15% gift card by mail with MP3 player purchase and that ends 11/24
There is also free shipping on this.
So buy the zen for 239.99 at Circuit City and Price match (110% PM policy) to Wal-Mart's price of 174.63 for a savings of $71.90 (on price difference of (239.99-174.63)x 1.10)
You should pay ~168.09 + tax at CC
Less $20 MIR
Less 15% GC of 25.21 (15% taken from 168.09)
------------------------------------------------------------
Total: ~148.09 (+tax) and you also have a $25 GC
Of course the YMMV will be if a) they give you the PM
Since it is from Wal-Mart's online store and their PM policy says local store.
b)On what price they give you the PM for (because there is the $20 rebate at CC plus 15% GC)
c)If you can get the MIR and GC after doing the price match. Link to CCs PM Policy

I was seriously thinking about doing this but I just don't have the time with thanksgiving coming up and I really want one that does audio recording with an external source (microphone, line-in, etc) so I can record lectures. IF anyone knows about a good HDD mp3 player that does this please chime in. Thanks.
If you do this please post so that others can see that it works. Hopefully someone can save some thing from this at least.
Any comments you guys have to improve this would be appreciated by everyone.
I also want to say that I never knew that I had to spend so much money to save *so much* money
