Rebirth Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I never seen iPods on sale. Even Best Buy employees don't get discounts on them. Best bet is a student discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaidensmom Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Once ina a while buy.com, staples, or amazon might have a coupon or a price drop online , I have never seen them on sale in b&m stores though . I'm looking for one too so if I do find a deal I'll post it back here, please do the same if you find anything :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marimacc Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Looks like the newly posted Best Buy stuff has an IPOD on sale a bit. But, may I recommend what I use, an RCA Lyra. Here's a link to the 40 meg one, I bought the 20 meg one about a year ago: http://www.mysimon.com/4014-6490_8-30469698.html?tag=ksrch.srlist&q=rca+lyra So, that's about $200 for 40 megs, I don't think you can beat that. The Best Buy Ipod is $400 for 20 megs. I honestly don't see why this player never caught on, I love it, find it very easy to use, and it doesn't use any kind of proprietary format, like I understand that ipod does. It's a little thicker than an IPOD, but it's not very heavy, I take it everywhere, to work and the gym, and have no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaidensmom Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanks Brad, I got the 20 gig from Amazon for Orignal price $275 -100 amazon gc 175.00 -A9 discount 5.00 + free shipping = final cost $170.00 not too shabby <G> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 good deal. glad i could help. target.com also has it for $299.99 with free shipping. use 10% off coupon code TC5THANKS2U2 to get it for $269.99, but tax is charged in most states, which makes amazon cheaper for some.

shopperstef Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 The BestBuy deal doesn't seem that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I've read some pretty good reviews on the Creative Nomad MP3's, saying the sound is just as good as IPOD, the battery life is longer and the batterys are easily replaceable (the only knock was they said they felt the case was better on the IPOD. Haven't used one myself but going to give it a try....Walmart has one online sale now for a 30GB for 179.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I actually bought my son this Mp3 player for his Birthday in October (well, the 40GB--but looks the same LOL) and it's great--the only thing he needed was new headphones--the cheap buds that came with it were tinny sounding. It's been great--he takes it everywhere and it holds every CD we own and then some!! I think he's used about 8 GB. It has a metallic case and comes with a cute black case that protects it somewhat--I like it, it's easy for me to read and the software was extremely easy to install on my computer!!

They also said that this and the IPOD use the exact same hard drive. So it seems like a good deal, what do you think of the price, seen them anylower?

biomajor Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I haven't seen them lower than that-CC has the 40GB one for $249 after $20 rebate with a 15% Gift Card. For the $40 difference between the two versions after the gift card and the rebates it's pretty much a toss up. I think I'd go for the one at Wal Mart though--no rebate forms to deal with LOL. The wal mart price is down to $174.63 for the 30GB Creative Nomad. 30GB of space is a LOT of room for music and files. My laptop's hard drive is only 40GB and it only has 14GB of stuff on it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks, I hate rebates and don't really want a gift card, rather pay less cash up front. Sounds like 30gb is more than enough and any more would just be to say I have 40gb, just went on line and bought the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Direct WalMart link: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2689656 That is a really nice deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
