recertifiedegg

As stated, this is NOT new, it's recertified. Still, a great little music/video player that kids will love for Christmas.

"On occasion accessory items may or may not be included, and/or substituted. Accessories are shown in the pictures so that customers will know what may be missing."

From the pictures, it looks like it is missing the proprietary USB adapter. If true, this would be a serious omission.

Does anyone know if the adapter is included?

I grabbed two, was looking for something like this for our angel tree at church. Thanks OP.

I want one! But, when I go to through the checkout process, it adds on an "Electronic Waste Recycling Fee" of $10. What's the deal with that?

I got one of their refurbs through woot about a year or so ago. Great player, nice features, good video playback. Its expandable with the MicroSD slot, so you can easily put in a 4gb micro SDHC card in it for an extra $10 and have a 6b player for less than $40. Also, if you install rockbox (free download at rockbox.org), you can play small games on it is well. This is a great time killer when I'm waiting in airports.

Nice price with Newegg standard return policy (replace failures within a year), and don't forget CashBack...
Still only $5 off it's common $29.99 low for the 2GB refurb while the 8GB model has been seen for $50 shipped.
Great if you're willing to expand with uSD card instead of wanting more built-in.

Thanks OP! My Rio Forge just bit the big one and I was waiting on a good deal on one of these.

Green for you and a new MP3 player 4 me (now, with VIDEO!!)

I actually have this exact model and its been about 1 yr+ and no problems. They are great, mainly because of the expandable memory, but they also have decent sized screens, fm tuner, voice recording (great for lectures, but not the greatest quality) and an equalizer.
I also have an Ipod shuffle, nano, and classic 80gb (I have a gadget habit). I like the iPods slightly better as far as over all music (A++)/video (A) players go and all the accessories they make for them, but the iTunes only thing, voice record cost me $39.99 (although far superior to the sansa), no fm tuner ( I think you can buy one), and no expandable memory, make me question my love for them.
I also like girls that are hot, bitchy, cost me alot of money, and far above my white trash class level, but at least the worst I treat the girls, the more they adore me and the less I actually have to spend on them. As for the iPods the worst I treat them, the more they cost me (having to buy a new one).
The bottom line, if you are looking for a player that has (A-) music quality, with (A+) features, and dont need an "iPod", this is the media player for you. They are durable, inexpensive, and feature packed. Great gifts at $25. Its just impossible to fine accessories to upgrade and make it look snazzier.
But at $25, no one will be unhappy at christmas time, not you (only $25), not the receiver (cool media player that is easy to use and expandable), not the family (you bought an item they would have had to buy at some time and it would have cost them more). This all equals to you being a HERO!!!

This has to be one of the best reviews I've read in a while! Thanks. In 4 1!

What's the packaging look like for their recert's? Is it a plain white box that is stamped with big red letters saying "recertified"?
