Default What should I buy now?

Should I wait for the Zune HD to be released in Canada, or should I go buy the X series which i found on ebay for about $131 CAD?

The Zune HD's Apps/Games aren't necessary but would be a really nice plus

Meanwhile, I've been eyeing the X series's NoiseCancelling feature, since Im not planning to get new separate headphones.

So, which should I go for?






PS
Im not gonna go for the X series if the bid exceeds $200CAD, and theres 2 days left till the bid ends

I wouldn't wait for the Z:HD, because we have no idea when it will go up there in the Great White North. But I wonder why that X-series is that cheap? Is it scratched to hell, or bricked?

naw it's new, except that guy's probably hoping some nerd is gonna be stupid enough to bid up to like $500 or something.
He better not back up on the offer if I successfully bid it

The X is cheap because it doesn't live up to it's MSRP. I agree that if you're waiting for a Zune HD you may have a long wait ahead of you.

Is there a "buy it now" price that would end the bidding?

Oooh, fraid to say it but that price is probably going to go sky rocketing near the end of the auction. New, and popular devices like that tend to have quite a few people watching them (without placing a bid) then if they happen to be awake at the last hour they might start bidding to try and get a good deal.

Still you never know. Anything can happen, but usually items that are still on the market, get sold for about as much as what it would cost to buy from an okay sale of the same device.

Yup, it's used. But, the seller has pretty solid feedback.

OMG FML. My dad won't let me get it!!!!!!!! Uses some lamo excuse, saying that I already have the Sony Walkman A729

The Bid ended at $200 CAD!!!!!!!! That's practically $300 CAD less than I would have to pay if I bought it from the Canadian SonyStyle!!

Grrrrr...
