MP3/Video Portable Players

[dyeknom]

I know the Zune is up at some targets (30 gig) for 94.xx to 134.xx, but unfortunately the ones around here don't have any.

Where's the next best place to grab relatively cheap Mp3/Video players like a Zune with at least an 8 gb storage capacity?

If you don't mind refurbished (which in the case of buy.com pretty much means it just didn't sell when it was in a store) you may want to check out

I don't know much about the brand other than its generally favored pretty highly. Throw in GCO or a $20 off $80 coupon you might have in your mailbox and its a pretty good deal.

I've had my 30gig Creative Zen Vision M for over a year now and I'm still happy with it. It is nowhere near as flashy as the new ipod videos and zune though. So don't expect much beyond music, videos, radio, and a few other features.

my ZVM screen broke but it is an otherwise fantastic player.
BTW that archos 604 looks great is there any coupons or other deals to bring down that price?

I would say for you to check stores. THe Circuit city I work at had 2 of those (dont remember the model) for like sub 100 open box. One was a customer return and the other was our OOP display. I'd try there.
