What non-IT products do they produce?

And you missed out their sound cards - one of the best worldwide.

All I gotta say is that it depends on your luck.

My first MP3 player was Creative v200.... it lasted me two years with no problems. The only problem was that I ran out of storage space.

My second player was Creative Zen V Plus. Super huge problems. Within just a few months it would freeze repeatedly. When horizontal lines appeared on the screen, that was the last straw. I demanded and received a 1-to-1 exchange from Creative. I immediately sold it off.

Now I'm using iPod nano 2nd generation. It's been over a year, and I've got no complains.

Lots of people complain about Creative. Then again, iPod has its share of complaints as well. It all depends on your luck.

The guy say audio files got many types.. and say ZEN cannot support all the formats.
That makes me really mad. I demanded for a refund, he says need to run stress test on the player.. this test will take 2-3 days,if its found to be faulty, den they will replace or repair. If replace new one still have same problem, den i told him i will wan a FULL refund on the player.

They will courier the item to me on thursday as i find it a waste of time to go collect the player. I think it sucks….

I hope they will give me a good answer.

Wat r the odds tat they will give me a new player or best refund(Den i can buy ipod, hee) ? Coz this player is going to be out of town for 3 weeks. I hope none of the hanging and unable to off issue is totally eliminated…

So many ppl say ZEN itself got problem with the software/ hardware…

Is this a piece of crap ? Or is Ipod much better ? So sad n v v angry !!!!!

my ipod 60gb also crashed beyond repair after 2years of sparingly used.

i think it's just our (bad) luck. now i stick with sub $100 mp3 players. my creative stone plus is 1+ years old, still going strong. even if it breaks down, my heart not pain.

all brands are the same la

you think there really is one perfect brand that will not spoil?

you know what is they wanna earn more money?

but i used my zen vision w for almost 2 years already, and still no problems after i dropped it 2 times at the stairs, and my previous zen mirco dropped for countless times, and no problems

weird right?

laptops, mp3s are all the same

if you think apple is good, then even if people say it sucks, you will still say its good

same goes for other brands

creative is good, ftw

I count myself as one really heng person because the Xbox 360 that I bought in Oct 2006 has been free from all problems so far.

But now that all Xbox 360s have 5 years warranty, it's not that bad.

I would like to highlight that HP is just another Creative. Guys, pls do not buy HP computers. I had a VERY VERY bad experience with HP as well.

I bought a HP desktop in 2005 and it came with a corrupted hard disk such that the desktop always hang when at the windows loading screen. I called the HP customer service staff several times and they always insist that it's my fault and requested that I reformat my desktop. But after reformatting for more than a dozen times, still same problem. Hang Hang Hang.

FYI to everyone here, HP subscribes to the belief that the customer is always wrong, and the company is always right.

So, after about 8 months, they finally decided to replace the corrupted hard disk that came with the desktop. I have to tahan Hang Hang Hang! for 8 months. Way to go, HP!

P.S. Guys, unless you want to risk more white hairs, be advised that it's a wrong choice to buy HP PCs becuase HP has poor quality control.

btw, my previous MP3 player was also Creative - The Creative Zen Neeon 512MB. It survived for 2 years before the scroll and volume buttons decided to break down.

Yeah i also brought it at that time, at the price of $699, my just spolit last week, your turn will come soon, if spolit, PM me if you need contacts for repair
