My daughter is after this machine, not the new big one but the micro(6gb I think). As this has been superceded is there anywhere with offers/cheap to find one pls. Best I can get so far appears to be Amazon around £145? Pretty pricey, is it worth it? Thanks for any insights-all a mystery to me! :eek:

I might be wrong, but I don't think that the 6gb has been superceded. Creative have brought out the 8gb Photo Micro, but I think I think it's designed to complement, not replace. They also released a 4gb version first, which we bought for my other half's mother. She loves the thing. For someone of her age, she finds it quite easy to use, although the touchpad can be a bit over-sensitive. Creative's bundled software isn't the nicest, but it is fairly easy to use which is a bonus.

Looking online, it appears that there's the 5gb and 6gb versions, which now come with an FM tuner. I would expect to pay around £135/140 for a 5gb, and about what you're quoting, maybe a bit higher, for a 6gb.

Kudos to your daughter though for not going down the: "it's fashionable, I want an ipod" route :T
