    I managed to pick one up from my local store and it's been great so far.

    I also reserved another one at a store in Feltham London which can be collected any time before Thursday 5th June. If anyone hasn't been able to get one and wants a reference number to collect it pm me.

  • Not to be confused with the Creative ZEN 8GB MP3 Player. This has the option of adding an SD memory card, so the 8gb memory could become 16gb. This is the one I'm looking for. Anyone found this one at a good price? The Argos one doesn't have an SD card slot. The names look very similar to me and I nearly got caught out :cheesy:

    You can get a refurb one direct from the Creative Website for £60... think i'll go for that one too.

    I picked one up yesterday. My headphones died on my old one which was a cheapy make and instead of spending a tenner or so on new headphones i thought i may as well upgrade to a better mp3 player. It looks good and for me i think 8gb will be more than enough, it's only for listening to music on the go, i use my main stereo or PC for everything else at home.

    I bought the Zen Plus and need to return it as it is faulty. Hopefully the replacement will be ok.

    A very useful site to use for converting audio and video files is http://media-convert.com/convert/. You do not need to download any software that clogs up your system and once you have browsed for the file it will automatically suggest a best conversion or you choose type of file from a drop-down menu. Just follow the instructions it's very easy.

    Has anyone who's bought this got confirmation that it does in fact come with the 30-day money-back guarantee?

    I know the Argos site says otherwise, but judging from some of the other posts on this thread, it looks like the listing does contain some errors.

    TIA

    Definitely does not come with money back 30 day return option. Girl at the checkout told me twice and printed it on my receipt - I can only return it if the unit is faulty.

    Argos don't do the 30 day return on mp3 players anyway. Don't worry though. I took mine back and she barely glanced at the box and cheerfully asked if I wanted exchange or a refund when I said it didn't work.

    I am actually more mad about a GrabitNow.com mp3 player I got a couple of weeks ago that is a pain and after finally getting it to work sort of I discovered it is 1 gb and I am pretty certain the advertised one was minimum 2gb as I already have a 2gb!!!! It was only a tenner but it really is rubbish and I could have bought loads of chocolate for that grrrrr...
