Meatier Player

As much as we love this Archos 504 40GB Portable Media Player, we have to level with you: it’s not quite perfect. Sure, it gets great reviews at places like Cnet, just like most Archos players do. On its face, it looks like the very model of a modern media player. But peek behind the Archos curtain, and you’ll find…

40GB hard drive holds so many songs, mentally unstable users may become frustrated and bellicose when trying to decide what to listen to.
Users may find themselves drawn into the shadowy demimonde of pirated video and music downloading, where they may be vulnerable to white slavers, dope pushers, and Scientology recruiters.
Bright 4.3” widescreen TFT display may keep your fellow airline passengers awake, resulting in fisticuffs.
After you get used to watching movies wherever you want on your own personal screen, watching them at the theater becomes a terrifying, disorienting ordeal.
Portable access to thousands of songs or dozens of movies will intensify your mental enslavement to the corporate Hollywood mind control machine. But not necessarily in a bad way.
Included travel dock allows direct recording from video sources like a digital camera, giving you one more piece of equipment to fiddle around with during important family moments.
Archos 504s are highly coveted by thieves, who may also extract and sell your internal organs while they’re at it. You never know. It happens.
You’ll never be sure if your friends like you for you or for your Archos 504.
TV-out capability may result in greater time spent in front of your TV, which may result in obesity, which may result in cardiac or respiratory problems, which may result in death. It’s a longshot, but we’re just trying to be thorough here.
The presence of both a USB port and a USB host port may produce feelings of sexual ambiguity.
Steve Jobs might see you with this and still try to convince you how wonderful the iPhone is with an hour-long personal keynote.
No AC adaptor included.
