Creative Zen 6Gb £49.90 (Refurb) - Uber cheap accesories too!


164°

FOUND BY: speedski 2 years, 6 months ago

STARTS: 03/05/2007   

Major discount on the Zen 6GB, its a Refurb, but having owned an 8GB Microphoto that has been round the world with me a few times I can say these things just plain rock.

Whats more the accesories are STUPIDLY cheap in some cases too:

Spare Battery: £3.49 inc VAT (extra 12 hours play time!)(says pre-order, expected the 10th of May)
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?category=111&subcategory=0&product=890&

MP3 Car Charger: £4.00 inc VAT (excellent for the new radio transmitters ;) )
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?category=111&subcategory=0&product=934&

Leather Carry case: £0.75 inc VAT (75p!!)(says pre-order, expected the 10th of May)
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?category=111&subcategory=0&product=932&

All round, you could get a 6GB MP3 player, with 24 hours playback, leather and suede case and car charger all for under £60 plus delivery :)

Be aware that you have to charge this using a USB port on your PC or alternatively buy a special charger for it (about £20). It doesn't take normal batteries.

No it doesn't take normal batteries, but when they are £3.50 who cares

True about the charging, although its cheaper to get a compatible off eBay from the far east.

It comes with a USB lead and charges off that.

If you need a wall charger you can get one from creative but its a bit pricy. Ebay ones are way cheaper and work just as well.

I have never had any issues with mine, nor have I needed to recharge on a long haul flight.

If i did, I would just do it off my laptop anyway

From experience, not as good as an iPod… BUT this is still an exceptional price for a 6GB player. Great find.

Total £53.89 delivered its a good MP3 Player but I would recommend some in-ear headphones due to lack of bass.

I'd check this out before buying one.

http://forums.creative.com/creativel...sage.id=126167

On the official forums as well, blyme', and I was so gonna buy one.

Apparently a known HARDWARE problem is the headphone jack breaking for no reason, I wouldn't mind if it was a firmware problem, but this just sucks balls now.

Anyway you guys make the decision and tell me good news otherwise if you do decide to buy one.

One point it being refurbished is that it might be one of them faulty headphone jack ones properly fixed.
