CoolFunkMan Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) I've decided to get my Dad an mp3 player for Christmas, as his old one is knackered. However, I've decided on a budget of £80 (as that's how much I've spent on my Mom's presents, and it's only fair!) I'm looking to get a player that's at least 8GB, and is of decent quality. Creative mp3 players and iPods are a deffinite no-no, unless they're offering amazing deals. At the moment, I'm looking at this: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/12611213/iRiver-E150-8GB-Mp3-Player-Black/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0 Is that a decent choice, or should I go for something else? Thanks if anyone can help... EDIT This one looks good too: http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=345;16;473;-1;233&sku=261603 Edited December 3, 2009 by CoolFunkMan
Ten10 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 What did your dad have before? I would say the sansa clip+ is a good choice.8GB for £40 with micro sd expansion slot: http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/802588 Anyway I would reference Hotukdeals And anything but ipod for reviews.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) I have an 8GB Sanze Fuze (12Gb with the Micro SD) and it meets my needs. Apparently these are very nice: http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/MP3_Players.1/Cowon_iAudio.15/IAUDIOI78GB/Cowon_iAudio_7_8GB_MP3_Player.2491.html Edited December 3, 2009 by Mr_Odwin
Nintendohnut Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 There was a 16Gb iPod Nano (last generation, curved body without the video camera) a couple of days ago for £80 I think. I should have checked the thread sooner, sorry. It was a pretty good deal too.
Ten10 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Hmm Boffer were doing the Ipod nano 16GB for £89 on Tuesday I think. Seemed like a good deal but there is also a possibility of one turning up in the £6.99 secret santa.
CoolFunkMan Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the help everyone, and sorry for not replying sooner, I've been away for a few days. I did a bit of research and decided on the iAudio 7 in the end, as it seems like a very decent mp3 player, I'm sure my Dad will love it! Thanks again folks. ^^ EDIT: Okay, for some reason the security code for my credit card is wrong, and the order is on hold, and I can't find the details to fix the issue. So sod that. I'm ordering this one from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-walkman-digital-player-NWZ-A729/dp/B0026M7U7G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1260199337&sr=1-4 I've heard good things about the Sony Walkman series, plus it's 16gb, so it's all good. Thanks anyway everyone... Edited December 7, 2009 by CoolFunkMan
