    How much did you actually pay?

    By the title, I thought it would at least vibrate!

    doesn't that run directly contrary to the cheapbastard philosophy for life?

    $140? hmm... that doesn't seem too bad at all...

    i could've sworn i saw comparable mp3 players for a lot more than that...

    128 mb seems a little low to me, but i'm not "up" on mp3 players.

    at 128kbs encoding, you get about 1 mb of music per minute, which means that your player will give you just over 2 hours of listening enjoyment. so basically, if you use it much, you're going to have to upload new songs pretty frequently.

    or, you could just upload 2 hours of pearl jam's best songs and then you'd never need to change it, except when you wanted to add new pearl jam songs

    i actually have the other 128 mg player and i was surprised by how much i liked it (and all it's functions). i didn't pay full price...i bought the 64 mg version open boxed, then i bought a 128 mg version and just returned the 64 mg player (cause they looked identical, except for a lil sticker) in the 128 box...so basically i got a brand new 128 mg player for the price of a opened boxed 64 mg player...and if you ask whether or not i'm feeling guilty, no...i did it to best buy, they deserve it...

    but anyways, 128 is enough if you know get the bang for your buck...you can get up to 4 hours...
