yeah too much money for something, that its battery will die out. I bought a 5gb zen micro for $160 after rebates. It made sense to me 90 bucks cheaper and a lot more options and space. I wanted the 6gb, but I was tryin to save money http://www.zipzoomfly.com was the cheapest place. Idk by getting an ipod it somehow feels like I'm subcomming to the darkside.
