I did a search at Yongsan today and hunted around for a decent player but not too expensive. One that caught my eye as reasonable was the Centrix 120 model. 20 gigabyte, plays video and music, etc. I basically just need something to watch video as at the end of the month I start a job that has me travelling 2 hours a day by bus (1 hour in the morning, 1 hour at night). Sure the v43 looks cool but above my price range and too many features that I don't need. Anyway I saw the Centrix 120 ranging from 290 000 won to 240 000 won but these are cash prices. Payday isn't until the 25th so I was going to see if I could find a better deal online or at least the same. Yet when I checked out Samsungmall.co.kr I was shocked to see they were selling the Centrix120 for 330 000 won!
So to sum up, can anyone tell me:
a) Is the Centrix a decent player?
b) A good website to get a similiar price mentioned above?
c) Or should I go back to Yongsan and pay the extra 10-15000 won they want to charge me if I use a credit card?

Thanks for your advice in advance.....

You can get the old generation I2 for that price (old model of v43). It is a good player. I just bought one.

Ok so where did you buy it? Online or at Yongsan, etc?

Well I've checked quite a few korean sites now and can't find the prices like I saw at Yongsan. I guess I'll head back there sometime. Still not sure about Centrix as I don't see much info about it. Maxian brand keeps popping up too. The more research I do the more confusing it gets!

if you can read Korean, I suggest checking out naver.com you can compare prices from different online retailers.
