Anyone know of any cheaper deals than this? If not, I think I might buy it. Looks very good.

That's a pretty good price and I was looking into this mp3 player but there are a lot of negative reviews on it. I also wonder how big it is?

Had a friend who bought it and took it back. He didn't get specific but said it was the biggest pain in the ass piece of electronics he's ever owned.

Well, I read the reviews and noticed that it was better than the iPod. It's about as big as a wallet, that's the only con. Everything else is fine. A lot of the negative reviews are because of inexperience, like people say the backlight is too dim in the outdoors, so it's hard to see. Well, you can easily tone up the brightness, etc. (my friend has one).
So, yeah... that looks like the best price I'll be finding.

That seems not bad for an mp3 player.

the menus take a while to go through, I found myself waiting a couple seconds to get to a song..
the size isnt an issue, trust me on that..
The camera sucks, by the way

Here's an interesting mp3 player for $200 , 20GB, and it plays movies.

While the price is good, the player is not. Expect a crappy camera, sloppy menus, poor controls, and abysmal battery life.
Some positives include a bunch of features (though none are done particularily well), a high-resolution screen, and excellent build quality.

interesting indeed. plays all types of video formats too, not just mp4 like most current media players(unless you pay $600+, then you get all the features you want -_-)anyone got any reviews on this thing, cuz it looks pretty good.
