    I had a Xen 32Gb which got stolen abroad, and I've now received an insurance cheque so I want to replace it - with the X-Fi Version.

    Creative's online store and Pixmania come in at €249 and €247 respectively.

    I found an Ebay seller coming in at €231 including postage but he has changed his mind and now wont ship outside the UK.

    Is there anywhere cheaper than Creative themselves and Pixmania?
    Outlet places up around Newry possibly? I ask as I will probably be making a trip there soon anyway.

    JOLLY as a coupon code got me 10% off my order on AMP3 last week ;)

    (Not sure if they have the Zen XFI in stock)

    And when you add shipping of €17 onto it its less than €13 cheaper than direct from Creative, or €11 cheaper than pixmania.

    I think I might just go ahead and order from them before they disappear completely....

    AMP3's shipping has gone up to 17euro? Hmmm, I wonder why that has happened? (I suppose that's one way of compensating for lower prices)

    In any case, I'd go for creative's store over pixmania, pix have an awful habbit of making you wait...and wait...and wait....they also have quite woeful after sales service.

    I've used AMP3 for years but two things really annoyed me with my last order:
    - the shipping costs
    - I paid for my order with Visa and also had to go through the 'verified by Visa' routine and I still had to send them either a copy of my last Visa statement or screen shot from my online banking. I'm all for internet security but it was overkill.
