Ask a stupid question and you can't expect a serious answer.

The sound quality on this player is excellent- far better than any other MP3 player or iPods. Deep bass and crystal clear high notes- comes with excellent MDR-EX082 earduds (these used to cost about $80 alone) with 13.5mm drivers for fantastic sound. Its also 'open source' so you are not forced to use Sonys old dreaded 'proprietary' SonicStage software. I waited for several years before finally a decent sounding MP3 player came on the market and this is it. $130 for 8GB is a fair price. I'd recommend this player if sound quality is your #1 priority. Its even got a graphic equalizer where you can really tweak the sound including 2 custom settings. Another bonus is the incredible battery life- rated at about 35hrs+ I believe. Get it- you won't be disappointed.

Totally agree with #8. I have the 2GB version and it's been awesome.

Does it come bundled with a free rootkit?

That joke is so old the last time I heard it the Titanic put out a distress call.

For me, it's either this or a Cowon model for me. I'm not a Sony fan, but I keep hearing good things about this.

LOL #11!
Seriously though, there is no reason a person would want to buy Sony products, unless of course they believe what the douchebags at CNET consider "good".
