Buying A Creative Zen W

Post by Fadingtoblack »

Here's the cheapest i can find it in Australia:

http://www.minidisc.com.au/creative-zen ... -1030.html

will cost me $481 Aussie including shipping (Currency converter here so you can compare: http://www.xe.com/ucc/)


That looks like a good deal don't you think? I hear good things about the player, and Creative models in general, and I'd like to avoid an Ipod if I can :)

Music and Video :P


Umm no really it would just be for portable entertainment, I'd watch TV shows etc on it, listen to audio books and music, those long trips on public transport...


And it works as a portable HDD too so that has to be useful! Better than my 1Gb USB anyway!

i have a ZEN Vision:M and I love it. Never had any problems with it and the video resolution is crisp and clear. I'll take it over an Ipod video any day.

I can't comment the Creative MP4 players really, as I never had the need for a portable video player, but I have a Creative Zen Touch MP3 and I love it. I went for that one as Creative for sure still manufacture some of the best sound cards, and it did not disappoint. Very crisp audio no matter how much I crank up the volume :P

I've been thinking more about this, and maybe I don't NEED all the video and stuff. The only problem I can see with MP3 players is that if you want a big capacity, like greater than 8Gb the price goes up steeply as all models now play video. Bit of a pain huh? :lol:

I have Creative Zen Nano Plus and I will not buy Creative MP3 player anymore. It worked well about year but few weeks ago it started to play only couple of seconds when turning on and then it turns off. Many have same problem with Zen Nano Plus (Creative have no solution) but I haven't heard anything similar with Creative Zen W.

Like I said, my Zen Touch works great, sounds great and looks great (us girls need something to go with our outfits, you know ;) ). Capacity is 20 GB (but there's a 40 GB version available also), which is enough for me at least for now and it is not expensive at all.

I also have a Zen Vision M and i love watching my vids and listening to my music on it. Never had any problems that the reset button wont fix and you get to keep all your files so this is no problem.

Id say it was definitely worth the price i paid for it because it has lasted a long time and continues to last.
