[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":9a6a6]Hah, $640? FUCK THAT! That's a waste of money.

Kind of expensive considering it only plays mp3s.[/quote:9a6a6]

I definately agree with that. What is the point of buying a $640 mp3 player when you can download a free one on your pc, buy one for about $200 or so for your car, or get a $40 walkman? I know the big thing is mobility, but here are the drawbacks as I see them:

You cant bring your ipod to school, or you risk getting it stolen, or confiscated.

You can listen to your mp3s at home on your pc, walkman, or car for a fraction of what you paid for your ipod.

In what situation would you need 100G of mp3s of music, and how situations arise where you are hours or days away from any other source of music other than an ipod?

You have to buy a $100 battery.

Let me know why you picked this in particular please.
