HOT OR NOT? Sanyo 512MB MP3 Player $19.99

Hello all, not sure if this is a repost....

I was at the Sundridge,Calgary RCSS and saw this Sanyo 512 mb player for $19.99 "valid until Dec. 22, one per family" the price tag displayed...

I though it was a good deal until I turned the package over and discovered a AA battery in there. So, I assumed that it wasn't a MP3 player with rechargable battery, thus I didn't buy it. But nevertheless, its a good gift for someone (or yourself, if you're interested). They are two colors, pink and blue. The store that I went to (Sundrige) had only 2 pink units left.... I'm not sure if this deal (or not) is nation wide.

Here's a picture of the Mp3 player:

EDIT: Not sure why it displays as *******
but in that gap, its supposed to be "********"

Second edit: why does the system do that? Why does it put ****** in for the name of the website? Can anyone answer this?

In addition (in Western Canada) you can buy some fillers and use Superstore's online coupon (for something free). This week (today's the last day) a $25 min. purchase coupon for free cookies. (see a different thread).

Enjoy, I hope I gave enough details...

Seems like a good stocking stuffer!

i bought this mp3 player last year.

i used it for 2 weeks, then now it sits on my shelf collecting dust.

it's the biggest POS mp3 ever built. the functions/key placements are illogical. the sound isn't the greatest either. every design aspect of this mp3 is pure garbage.

i'd save your $20 and donate it to a christmas charity instead.

my $0.02.

Use it as a flash drive?
