"this baby is one mean machine"
Pros: great spce, easy to get started, good looking screen, underrated music playing ability (not a big fan of the ipod wheel)
Cons: buttons feel loose- no problems with them it just makes me nervous. Takes a little while to get used to all the things you can do.
Summary: THis thing is great. i would give it a ten but i dont want people to think im just being biased b/c its the one i chose. i got it from wal mart so i could return it but unless this baby freakin explodes its stayin right here. It took me a little bit of time to learn how to put my own homemade DVDs on to it without directly recording them from my dvd player (like a few hours of seeing what looks good and nit picking) but i gotta say, you come out of the expirence with good knowlede and a great way to get stuff on to the player. Nice screen size and good video quality. I love all the space and if youve got a big movie collection or anything big you wanna put on here the 100gb is the way to go. People say its music is not as user friendly as the ipod but it is totally fine unless you have som great love of the roller wheel. This is a great buy, its expensive as hell but if youve got the money go for it. Im not one of these people that cares if something is a little complicated to use, two days and ive mastered mine. the bottom line is, it has a crap load of space, a great screen and can do more things (TV record, digital mini cam) than the others. I'll take usability over flash and ease of use any day.
