I wanted the opinion of the forum on this one, as I am not really sure of this. I went to check the "Included in package" tab or whatever it is called for the Creative micros at Creative.com, since the new sizes and prices were released, and it does not list the AC wall charger there!! Did I miss something? Was it never listed? Ahhhh, whats going on!?!?!

you are right, new zen micro page package content don't have it listed. looks like they took out the pouch, the case for stand/belt clip and ac adapter. that sucks. someone go confirm with creative.

New zen micro package content:
* Zen Micro Player
* Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery
* High Fidelity Earphones
* USB 2.0 Cable
* Creative Media Source
* Installation CD
* Quick Start Guide

Old Zen Micro page package content list
* ZEN MICRO player
* High Fidelity earphones
* Wired remote control1 (asia only)
* 1 Li-Ion rechargeable battery2
* Power adapter
* USB 2.0 cable
* Belt-clip and stand
* Pouch
* QuickStart guide
* Installation CD

I hate this cutting accessories disguised as "price drops." What next? Cut the USB cable also? In the past, every DAPs have their own advantage (remember the accessory packed iRiver H1xx?). Now, everything just becomes a barebone player. Even the Dell DJ still comes with an AC adaptor.

If not coming with a USB cable or something cuts the price of the player, I'm all for it. Most of us have these things lying around. Stuff like AC adapters, well, they should probably be included.

I KNOW PROBABLY NEW 6GB AND 4GB MICROS DON'T BRING A PAIR OF ACCESORIES, BUT DOES THE CLASSIC 5GB MICRO BRING THEM OR NOT, I JUST ORDERED A ZEN MICRO AND WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
MAX...

if you just ordered I guess it would have them

the thing I am wondering is in 3 weeks i will have enough money for the 5gb but I don't know when the damn thing will come out

I bought mine under a month ago, so I am returning it for store credit and going to buy the 6gb when it comes out. But I am going to keep my AC adapter, every electronics item i have ever returned has never charged me any fee. So once again I will try to get away with it. Thats the only thing I am keeping though. Who the heck would want the pouch or that stand and belt clip anyways? I never ever used them, I have an altoids case.
