this: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...ProductID=5509

should i go for it or not ? it looks like a real good deal, but i`ve never ordered anything from microdirect before so no idea if they are a decent provider, and furthermore, it seems a bit silly that they offer the 30gb zen cheaper than the 20gb one. Opinions please.

(ps. reason i`m going for the zen rather than the ipod is that, i`m 90% sure, i`ll get mugged by the rudeboys fags etc, and i doubt changing the headphones will keep off the trouble etc, and anyway, the price on this is really tempting.)

Re: yes/no to ..
Seen as ComputerShopper's site appears to be weird for linking, I'll paste a review that is quite insightful:

"Creative's range of hard disk MP3 players has long provided a more affordable alternative to Apple's popular iPod. This latest model, the Zen Xtra, comes in two versions: the 30GB model reviewed here and a 60GB version that can hold a massive 16,000 tracks.
The Zen Xtra is about the size of a cassette walkman. Both Creative's MediaSource software and the streamlined Nomad Explorer are included for transferring and organising music, although transfers over USB2 are limited to 2.57MB/s. The rechargeable battery lasted around seven hours in our test.

Unfortunately, the Zen Xtra isn't without its problems, the most obvious of which is its bizarre control system. It uses eight buttons and a rocker switch that is used only for navigating the menus rather than the more useful task of skipping tracks. The menu system also doesn't automatically show the information for a track that's playing, and the headphones are too large for comfort and a bit lacking in treble. Still, there's a huge capacity here for a good price.

Tom Royal

SPECIFICATIONS: Hard disk MP3 player, 30GB capacity, USB2 interface. Part code 70PD055000011 "

To sum up: Cheap, good capacity, bizarre control system, bad headphones.

Re: yes/no to ..
i want an mp3 player for this year at uni (i no longer live a 2 minute walk from lectures and will now have to get the bus ) i was looking at one of those babies. ipods are good but IMO they are too expensive, that price seems pretty good but i doubt i will need 30gb

Re: yes/no to ..
you can get thesame player for the same price (pretty much) from amazon.co.uk and amazon are the best when it comes to buying things online
