Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20GB £109.99 + P&P (merged)

Was just browsing through the Argos website looking for a mp3 player and spotted this for £109.99 + P&P:

Catalogue #5129759

Argos Creative mp3 player

Are tiny-url and make-a-shorter-link banned from MSE, because they are being shown as !!!!!!!!! whenever I try to insert a link.

    This has already been mentioned on the other thread about Creative Zen players.
    Seems an incredibly cheap price AND it has an FM radio tuner built in as well.

    It's good but not that good - reading some reviews?
    Also it is only 139quid on amazon - cashback etc?

    £139 on Amazon, not £129. Still think £110 is a really good price, personally. Retails for up to £200 some other places.

    According to a couple of user reviews on Amazon, it requires a pc running XP to function, but no idea about what software it uses, although one reviewer claimed to be using 3rd party software on it.

    I've got one of these and I can't see that the software can be exactly the same because it allows photo management as well as music. There are some programs specific to the Zen Sleek Photo and some which seem generic for media management, so possibly part of the suite may be the same.

    I think they were banned because people were hiding referral links in them.
  • i have just reserved one of these at the Brighton argos.... £109 sounds like a great price!

    My son took this cover out for his Zen Sleek bought two days ago. His last player was an iRiver H10 we bought him from Argos (thanks to MSE as usual) which he had the misfortune to damage when he had an accident on his bike.

    We sent it to iRiver for repair and, including wiring the money to them, it would have come to roughly £106 all in. This insurance would have covered it for accidental damage.

    So the product cover is well worth it in my opinion.
