Hey all. I didn't realize there was a community here. Very cool.
I've been putting off getting a new player for a long time, and wanted to see what was out there besides ipods (which I can't believe people actually like)
Anyways, I was about ready to buy a Zen 4gb and then noticed on a review page dozens and dozens of people complaining about various issues such as joysticks breaking, lockups, not being able to delete files o.O etc. As much as I didn't want to toss the research I did so far I saw the Clix2 photo on the side bar of that site and figured I'd start over researching.
Wow!! What a set of features! And almost everybody loves them.
So then I was just about to buy the 4GB Clix2 from Amazon.com and saw that there was an 8GB version but the **only** place to get them was the iriver store at full retail price.
Enter a 4 hour debate with myself on whether it was worth the extra $58 to have 4GB more. Then I remembered that 4GB was really about 3.5GB of usable storage, and that I was probably going to want to store videos as well as music on the thing... Then I remembered that I can spend $50 on a tank of gas easily, so that was it - By next monday (according to the iriver store) I'll have the 8GB Clix2 in my hands.
