    nice find!

    im very tempted but on the archos site it says they are bringing out 80 and 160GB versions.

    im trying desperately to stop myself from giving in and bying this in the meantime

    cheers for this, i was tempted by the archos 404 that was posted the other day but now im glad i waited for this lil beauty lol cheers
    mingmong
    does any1 know if this plays avi format?? thanks

    yeah got a 404 a little while back, well a 80gb, like the idea of a wifi that i can stream pcitures and films from a external hardrive connected to my router. but as been pointed out 30gb isn't alot for me, any idea what sort of prices the 80gb will go for.

    I had the 604 wifi and sold it so I could buy this. This is a brilliant price, I ordered this from Archos a few weeks ago and they wanted to charge £232. Fortunately they demanded a copy of my passport before they would process my order. I refused.

    Now I've saved nearly £70. Thanks

    160GB version HERE £253.98

    4gb verion HERE £126.65

    I think the 4gb version has an SD slot but you can check out on this great forum HERE

    The 4gb version should also have a slightly longer battery life as it does not have to power a hard drive. I cancelled my order for the 30gb and purchased the 160gb.

    Archos 605 Wi-Fi 160GB Multimedia Player
    None in stock

    I fancy one of these, do these play xvids?
    30gb is a bit too small for me, I'll have a hunt around for a 160gb.
    davelfc
    Yes they play xvids, you can also buy plug-ins to play lots of other types of files. You will need a purchase plug in to surf the net. Archos have decided to lower the price of these devices and make the money from plug-ins and tv on demand, which it will be offering soon

    You can watch youtube on these devices or link via wireless with your pc and watch any files you have on that.

    I don't think the 605wifi 160gb or the 4gb are released yet so they won't have stock. But it's worth the wait.

    After doing some research I have discovered that the 4gb version will also take memory cards.

    wow thats a pretty good deal!

    £20.00 £20 voucher when you spend £150 or more on anything at dabs.com When you order on or before 31.07.07

    just logged into my dabs account and found this voucher in my account! I suggest people with existing accounts check theirs!

    Free postage this weekend too.

    Meaning that for me it would be £168.85 -£20= £148.85 -3% quidco
    = £144.39 or close enough.

    Hot bargain!

    can anyone confirm, that these will or will not play avi/xvid directly without converting to its own format?? cheers........
    davelfc
    I have downloaded xvid movies and some series to my 604wifi and they played perectly as did the avi files.
    I would go HERE for more information and definite answers.

    Ive got a 504 (the previous series) and it plays pretty much anything you through at it with a few exceptions.

    it wont play mpg files unless you buy a €20 plugin. and the same goes for xvid/divx files if they have ac3/DD soundtracks.
    If the soundtracks are normal stereo itll play them just fine out of the box.


    Just ordered this, now to sell my 504 :)
    davelfc
    One tip that saved me some cash was that I purchased my plug-ins from the US store and saved a decent amount of cash. It may take a little while for them to appear on the US site but when they do you just buy them as normal and they send you a link to the software.

    Plug-ins are tied to your device serial number so you cannot use a friends download.

    nice 1, thats one of the main reason i never got an archos ages ago, as i was always told to play existing avi/xvid's u can to reconvert them all, when all i wanted to do was just drag and drop...and watch :)

    Is there anything stopping this being used for backing some of my data on my laptop. I currently have a 250gb My book but want one of these players. I could potentially sell my current external HD and use this instead.

    I took a chance and ordered the 160Gb version at £253. It is due out in the US on September 1st so I am hoping it will be the same for the UK. It's worth waiting for. I just hope the screen is better than the mediocre one on the 504. If it as good as or better than the AV500/Gmini500 screen I will be very pleased.:thumbsup:

    Thanks to the OP.

    correct me if i'm wrong but if this thing has enough juice to power one of these http://www.hotukdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?p=792360 then would'nt you be able to walk around with another 160 gig of movies that this device could use?

    It's unlikely to be able to power an external hard drive.
