cool, and with Christmas so close.....
It's already bouncing, Guess they don't have many.

2 woot in 1, great

Nice. I like my ipod, though.

Now were talking, woohoot!!!

ahh too bad it has the mp3 player (without an ipod that is) or i'd pick it up
cool woot though

Nice woot

Decent, does anyone know anything about the boomtube? Then again, if they are nice, I'll probably not get a chance to buy them before getting an answer..... Google away!!

nice woot

woot
these are crazy for the price
only wish i can go for it

ehh, already rockin the ipod, so dont need it, but really nice though

Hmm... Worth it? not sure.... have to sit on the fence for now.

Any reviews? <3 woot!

dang... too rich, a MP3 player for the nephews would be cool, but not for that much.

Pass, but decent price on a 5gig and I like the boom tubes....

Isn't Virgin dumping their electronics stuff??

Woot Woot Im seriously thinking about it Anyone have any exp with this in the past ??

good for gifts, too much dough for me, already have an ipod. woot on, 1st page.
(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Ah, that's what happened to the iPod competition... relegated to Woot-ness.

more music stuff. great.

Looks like a decent combo at a good price?

Not a bad deal, looks like it gets a good review at Cnet and the combo will cost you over $200 at Amazon.

ok, since no one else wants to post info, I'll post what I've found:

Cnet review on the mp3 player (it gets a 7.310 or very good rating)
http://reviews.cnet.com/Virgin_Electronics_Player_VM_500_5GB/4505-6490_7-31164323.html

Hmmm might make a nice gift

Decent, already have a 6 gb mini though.

Someone care to enlighten me? Is this a good deal?

i would pull the trigger on it if it was the ex speakers, just because i want those. The mp3 would be a nice add on.

Awesome woot, but I'm poor :)

It's something new, and something old. great for the brides in your life.

Are these the crappy speakers? or the Boomtube ex speakers??? If they're EX its a good deal.. else its just a 119$ mp3 player.

Virgin Electronics Player VM-500 (5GB)

The good: Small and light; dedicated function buttons; supports DRM-protected WMAs (PlaysForSure designation coming soon); dual headphone jacks; FM tuner; kitschy, user-friendly interface; comes preloaded with some songs.

The bad: Unimpressive battery life; must install music manager plug-in before transferring tunes; lacks recording features; no on-the-go playlist feature; unorthodox method of transferring playlists.

The bottom line: A good device for MP3 novices, the VM-500 has some quirky and likable features, but its poor battery life spoils the party.

Rating? 7.3/10 (VERY GOOD)

Very Nice WOOT for Christmas :)

this is a good combo woot! considering a buy myself

What, not refurbished?????
How can I have a good Christmas....
Dude, we need refurbished and NOW!!!!!

excellent woot... reviews not great, but considering that the mp3 player is under $100 in the bundle...

Anyone have any side by side comparison to the iPod's screen and ease of browsing?

Not a bad deal. This could cost over two bills at other stores. Not for me I am happy with my Rio with only 256 megs?

awesome woot but not for me today put some stuff up for cars like an in-dash dvd player ha that would be the day GOD I LOVE THIS SITE THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
