alright, Im interested in buying a new one since my old one is a dirt cheap no-name bollox thing thats just fucked up. (128 MB stick, old one)
now, what I have in mind is this:
Rio Chiba 256 MB
Why I post here is
1) does anyone have that model or any experience with any of the Rio players of the last autumn generation? concerning quality of the unit as a whole (solid build?), then are there any major problems with it? The reviews I found on google only name minor flaws which dont worry me (background noise when turning on/off for example).
2) does anyone know a european or, preferably (but not necessarily), a german online-shop for this model with a reasonable price? Ive only found very few of them and none of them even gets close to amazon.com's price. (which is like 120 euros) (and no, amazon.de doesnt have it) .. any other euro stores I found are 200+.
Now I would buy at amazon if only the manufacturer warranty wasnt so ridiculously short - 90 days really isnt much IMO. German stores have a 2 year warranty on many of their items, also they have a 14-day-cancel-option if I dont like the product. I cant find anything like that with american shops.
Ive found several american onlineshops where you can get a 3 year warranty for some extra $$$, but I cant figure out if they also ship to Europe / Germany. (this one in particular)
any help appreciated
