The 30 gb equivalent zen is on sale for the same price. Any preferences between the two?

Of course, neither is as good as my long-dead karma.

Wow, so I get one and come home, there is nothing inside!

Took it back and found out it was their display. They don't have anymore there but they saved one for me at another location and I'm feeling lazy to go get it.

Urabus, you didn't get ripped off, it's just that $50.00 rebate makes the deal a little sweeter.Actually $195.29 is a nice deal!

had to return it... just found out that it doesn't support Unicode

got zune. hurray for 195.83 in seattle,wa. dont get me wrong the vibez is awesome. however the wheel gets rough around the 11pm position, buttons hard to hit and the screen is easily scratched. however the benefits far outweighs the cons. can't beat the zune's price though and hearing about the great sq from many of the owners in this forum got me excited.

hah, that was a joke, i just meant i paid $1.29 more than audiophile01, I also got in on the $50 rebate so i'm really at $145.29.

OK, slightly O/T but I've been playing with the Zune for a while now, 2 things I noticed:

I've been ipod trained too long and keep on trying to spin and scroll that black wheel.....
there's no gapless playback, or is this something that needs to be encoded? boo

see above, post #13

Can anyone give me a quick synopsis as to why the Zune would be better tha an Iriver or IAudio? The file sharing is limited to three plays and the other players are drag and drop so you don't need an interface, and they're not proprietary.
It has peaked my interest, but I don't like having to use a company's software.
Is the sound quality superior, and does it have a dedicated line or optical out?
Is the screen clearer and brighter?

TIA

PS- I was told that Office Max (at least on Long Island) are going out of business, and this might be a reason for big discounts.
