Comments on: Collectible tech: Creative Zen Vision:M

Jasmine waxes nostalgic about the late, great Creative Zen Vision:M.

Ahhh, the Zen Vision M. I almost bought one at the end of last year, just as they were fading over the horizon for good. I owned a Zen Sleek Photo, and I liked it a lot, but I needed a bigger hard drive, and the thought of watching videos on a hand-held device appealed to me. But, I got a Zune instead. So it goes.

ahhhh my zen vision:m screen cracked on me!! i miss it :'(

i bought the new creative ZEN as a replacement, but it's only 8 GB and doesn't have the touchstrip i love. it was so easy to crank the volume or browse through the playlists i made.

*must replace screen, or buy new one*

I bought my ZEN Vision: M back in December 2006 and still works !!! The battery starts to be a bit sucky but it's still the DAP that rocks my world !!! Too bad that Creative is not releasing a HDD-based successor to the Vision: M though...

I bought my ZVM back in December of 2006 and it still works great to this day. Battery life is still very good, the screen is as amazing as ever and it sounds fantastic. The Creative Zen Vision:M was truly a one of a kind player. I love mine!

Hey, I just snagged a 2003-era iRiver H120 for $170. Of course the screen is black and white and it's bulky, but then it does have optical out and optical in.

You can occasionally get the Creative Zen Vision M 30GB on the Creative.com/Saving Center site for $119.99 refurbished. I ordered one for myself a few months back and it was brand new and worked great. They are out of stock now, but if you check in the morning and evening, eventually you will get one. Currently, the Savings Center has the refurbished Vision W 30GB for $169.99 (in stock) I ordered this for my husband for his birthday and it was a brand new unscratched model that works perfectly.

Sure beats $500 all to heck.
