Ok, here is the deal. I've been working and saving all my money because I hope to buy a car after I graduate which is in June. I've been wanting a new mp3 player for some time now and I have narrowed it down to the Zen Micro. I'm having a debate whether or not I should actually buy it because I do want a car. So can you guys convince me to get it, say, how are the features, is it worth the money, etc.. Any help is greatly appreciated. I do plan on buying it, but I just want a little more information before I make it final.

Also, which version should I get? 4gb or 5gb? I'm leaning towards the 4gb but with the 5, you get some accessories that could come in handy. I don't know which one to choose!

Again, any help is greatly appreciated. ;)

That is just way too much for me. The Zen Micro is perfect for me, price wise.

Um.. I have owned a Zen Micro 5GB (RED) and it was a good player for awhile but than it broke down on me.. The headphone jack problem came into effect, than the battery got all stupid and wouldn't work anymore after I turned it off and I would have to charge again.

If your looking for a good player, you said the zen micro was $179.99.

Instead, in my opinion go for the sansa e260.. It's 4GB and it's perfect for you, I think, haha. It has Photo/Video/Music. Excellent player. I recently bought it from bestbuy about 3 days ago and I am loving it!! Well the sound quality isn't as great as the zen micro but the interface, scroll wheel, photos, etc. are excellent. Easy to use too.

Well I hope you give the sansa e260 a look.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
