Found this on another site, but it looks good:

http://www.us.buy.com/retail/electronics/product.asp?sku=90049513

Player is $29.95 but the box has a $20 Skechers GC. (for a net of 9.95)

It has 8MB of storage and some software and stuff too.

Remember when the Commodore 64 had a full 64K of memory and you thought "How could I possibly use all that memory?"
Now we are scoffing at 8MB.

It is easily expandable with cards.

Also, you SHOULD be able to sell the Skechers GC for at least $15. There are several near me and I'm sure I could just hang out and sell one to a 14 year old white boy.

Also, this is the total price so you don't have to worry about rebates or anything else.

8MB could be a typo. According to their website, that model has 32MB od memory. Check it out:

Maybe not. The manufacture part # is SHB3108P. The '08' could be suggesting 8MB built-in memory. Also seen here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ex/shop/home/010521015135130039182223503028?pid=243300.

This takes a Multimedia card. Is a multimedia card and Smartmedia one in the same or is this a new format? The picture of the card looks like smartmedia.

MM and SM are different, and incompatible.

The mmc on the buy.com site are pricey.
Ok I seen a post that Skechers.com has free shipping and 10% off(no reply to my "when expires" question yet)
Would be nice to get $20.00 off and 10% and free shipping.
Will post if I find out.

Die BUY.com Die

The $20 "Gift Certificate" is actually a $20 off $75 coupon (and you have to register the unit to get it -- i.e. open the box and send in the card)

Deceptive ads at their worst!!

I ordered this in the heat of the moment(shopping heat)
I was going to cancel it this morning be fore work,went to my account said sent to warehouse,there was no "cancel order" to click.
I get home from work..IT shipped!
Guess I'll send it back unless I find really cheap MMC.
