Okay, so I'm considering buying a PMP but I really don't know anything about them. I'm only really looking for something to watch videos on on the subway/bus/plane. I don't need any other features, or a large hard drive (do they even use hard drives? Or memory cards?). I would use my iPod to watch videos but the battery barely lasts 6 hours (so, about 10 minutes for video) and it's full of music anyways.

How much would your basic portable video player cost? And do I have to go to Yongsan or Technomart to get the best price? I hate shopping for electronics in Korea since everyone mistakes me for a high school exchange student and no one takes me seriously - I'm pretty sure I always get the price for dumb foreigners who don't know better! Are there any good websites (in English), even international ones, with good prices that will ship to Korea?

TIA! Very Happy

Yeah, I found that thread before I posted... I was looking for some additional info, like cost and the best place to buy. I wouldn't have posted if my questions had been answered here before.

If you're quick you can still get an i-Station V43 before they are taken off the market. If all you need is video/audio then don't bother with a newer PMP which will cost 500K plus. The V43 is 2 years old now but it's a damn fine machine, I know because I've been using one for nearly 2 years now. They can be had for around 280,000 in Yongsan or on Korean websites like Enuri.com if you have a Korean friend who will buy it for you.
