I just got back from Wal-Mart, since I dug up a thread on using ear plugs with Sony EX71's (my main complaint about the EX51's is sound isolation). While I was there, I decided to go check out the electronics section, mostly for laughs. For some reason, underneath a glass case for video games in a somewhat off-to-the-side aisle, there was one Nomad Zen Xtra, with no price. Just out of curiosity, I asked what the price was. And then, the angels sang. $10. Needless to say, I am the proud owner of a new 30GB Zen Xtra, as well as ear plugs and a beanie.

Moral of the story: Wal-Mart rules.

damn! nice score!

meanwhile, walmart continues to pay mexicans under the counter 3 dollars an hour, monopolize the market and spread the urban sprawl like the cancer it is!

woohoo!

(on a side note, that is seriously cool that you got a good price, but it came with a price)

Excuse me. You said $10. Did you mean $100? Must've been a discontinued return priced by an inept manager

Dude (Lotsa expletitives here)! Go back and buy a couple more and we'll Pay pal you 30$ for each one. Man you'd rock my world if you could do that.
