Sony HDD Mp3s cheap!!

https://www.Sonystyle.co.uk have factory refurbished mp3 players going at half their RRP.

A3000 (20GB) £99.99
A1000 (6GB) £79.99

I think they are better than ipods as you can control them in your pocket and they dont break like my nano did...

  • Wow, that's a great deal.. if only they were bigger than 20gb I'd get one as a replacement for my old 30gb player

    daft question I suppose, but is it really that important to carry 20+ gb of music etc with you? A couple of albums I understand, like cds in your car but hundreds of hours of music? i have to say why???? I'm sure some people need to carry large programmes etc with them but generally aren't these just a case of technology for the sake of it?

    Ah, but once you have everything you own in once place you can play what ever you like, when ever you like. No need to go on the computer every couple of days to change your music over. Also, it's nice when talking about music to someone to have th song you're on about to hand. And on a slow day at work I might have it on for 5 or 6 hours, you soon get sick of the same few albums. oh so many reasons for big mp3 players :)
    (mine's a 60 gigger, but i'm not bragging!) :)

    Link not working for me. Session expired.

    Site is full of bugs and when you click on the A3000 it says £199
  • Nothing wrong with the site for me, the link is just to the main page anyway?

    No bugs on the site and if you follow instructions:

    It's the second and third down.

    I agree...SonicStage is truly awful and not at all user friendly.

    Now I remember why I hate Sony Mp3 players :D

    and regarding having a 20 gig MP3 player so that you dont need to connect to computer time and again is a stupid excuse, as we essentially add to our collection of songs once to twice every week. I think a 1 gig one is sufficient. I hate sony for their software , I think only AOL is worse.
    Inside I am THINKING.
