Again

 
Bought it for my company today.

HK$2798 at Wanchai 298 Computer Zone (2/F).

While testing the MuVo2, the salesman suddenly said "you guys will open it anyway." Haha, everyone knows now.

He said Creative already told them not to accept returned units that show format error or media error.




Once again, the trick works.

While stock lasts

 
As assumed by robotZero.

Copied from slickdeals.net. (Not yet verified)





Apparently there's rumor that there are two types of Muvo2's:

A) Muvo2 - This is the player that is highly sought after with the *removable* Hitachi 4GB Microdrive.

B) Muvo2a ('a' for 'altered') - Same exact 4GB MicroDrive-based player with one exception: the microdrive is *soldered* onto the casing, making it nearly impossible to be removed. This was a solution to the problem of people buying the player to obtain a cheap 4GB microdrive to use on dSLR's, PDAs, etc.

Word of advice and what to look out for. Becareful where you buy from. Safe places to buy from are:

-Sites that say "In-Stock "
-Sites that say "Out-of-Stock "
-Sites that say "BackOrdered "

Unsafe places (which may carry the Muvo2a) are:

-Sites that say "Pre-order "
-Sites that say "Coming Soon "
-Sites that say "Product not released yet "

Reason: The original Muvo2's were released back late in Dec '03 or early Jan '04 @ prices of 299$ or so. Of course, not too many ppl bought it b/c many sought other popular mp3 devices like iriver, ipod, ect. Now the remaining Muvo2's and the Muvo2a's (which are the ones that are on pre-order sale) are being sold for 199$ which makes this a hot item. Once Andy Mack - the genius behind this - discovered the exploit of these microdrives from the Muvo2, word spread quickly. Rumors came about and some say that companies from Creative Labs and Hitachi are developing a methods to stop people from being able to remove the microdrives.

Sites like Amazon are having 'pre-order' sales of this device, which most likely will turn out to be the soldered Muvo2a's. Avoid these places. Go to online web merchants that list the device as either 'in-stock', 'out-of-stock', or 'back-ordered'. These places will most likely be carrying the remaining Muvo2's.
