So can anyone tell me whether I can get a Zen or any other decent MP3 Player for £100?
Tank you.

Ah yes Icarus, but if I'm buying a house, I do a bit of research about the areas it's located in. If I'm buying a car, I'll at least read some car magazines. If I'm buying a digital camera I'll at least what to understand what a mega-pixel is and the difference between optical and digital zooms. Why should an MP3 player be any different?

You have to understand that not everyone is tech savvy, but still wants a piece of the pie so to speak. Most adults have cars, but I bet most won't know how to find out what's wrong if it's stopped working. Same with computers and anything else which requires knowledge/training before hand. If everyone was tech savvy and educated, there won't be sales people anymore to take the cash.
Hurrah for capitalism.

You have to understand that not everyone is tech savvy, but still wants a piece of the pie so to speak. Most adults have cars, but I bet most won't know how to find out what's wrong if it's stopped working. Same with computers and anything else which requires knowledge/training before hand.

They only do that because your avergae Joe Schmoe who they're trying to flog these things to doesn't understand Gigs and Megs...trust me, I've worked on the MP3 player counter at John Lewis and 95% of people who come into buy an MP3 don't even have any understanding of what one is, just more money than knowledge and the fact that someone told them they were cool...
Then, even worse than that are those with a little bit of knowledge whose own brain fills in the blanks...
For example:-
Customer: "Excuse me, I'd like to buy an MP3 player that will not jump, as I'd like to have it on whilst riding my motorbike"
Me: "OK, sir you'll be waning one of what we call 'solid state' MP3 players, beca\use the music is stored in memory, there are no moving parts, so nothing can jump, even on the bumpiest roads"
Customer: "Sounds good to me, how much do they hold?"
Me: "These ones a 512mb"
*Customer looks blank*
Me (Reluctantly): Typically that about 30 decent quality tracks...
Customer: "Oh no, I want to hold more than that, aroud about 4,000 at least"
Me: Ok, our 'hard-drive' based players will hold that, but as they have moving parts, there is a good chance that they will jump.
Customer: In that case i'll take a 40GB solid state MP3 player.
Me (to myself): AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I advise you not to get anything electronic related, and instead hum the tunes you like. Best thing about this, is that you can change tunes without reaching for the controls!
I will give you £60 for your busted ipod, then you will have enough for your creative muvo, or you will be £20 off a zen.
£160! what!
If you're "not even sure" what the problem is, how do you know how much it will cost to fix it? Eh?
And besides, a couple of days ago you were saying "£60 to check and then £60 to repair". I make that:
£120
