Toshiba Gigabeat X?

[battlemac]

So I been very interested in purchasing this device and I am not sure when I can get one in california off the internet. Ebay is no help and warehouse123 is selling it at a high price. So I need an idea of where I can get one thank you......

my mistake thank you for clearing that up.

To answer your question:

The Gigabeat X is going to be a very difficult player to find in the U.S. Since it was sold mostly in Japan and Australia, you'll have to try markets in those areas that are willing to ship to the U.S.

Since the Gigabeat F and X are largely the same player, and the F is much easier to find here, your best bet would be to just get an F.

I had an F and it is a great player but I want something a little thinner with a slightly larger screen. Do you know of any web site by chance that may carry it beside the one I listed? Maybe an Australian e-tailer?

[LambdaCalculus]

eBay Australia? And hopefully a seller that's willing to ship internationally? That's the only thing I can think of.

[battlemac]

hard to find on ebay. I was thinking maybe and australian e-tailor might have it but not sure where to look as I dont know any? Thank you...

[LambdaCalculus]

I don't know any, either. I live in New Jersey, not Australia.

Make friends with someone from Australia and ask them to help you out, or keep trying Google. You'll have to search for a dealer that sells second-hand electronics. Or better yet, start trying Japanese electronic stores, where you may have much better luck (remember, the Gigabeat X was also sold in Japan).

Anyway, this is going to be my last post on this subject matter, before it starts to veer off topic. I can only confirm that it's going to be quite difficult to get a Gigabeat X, and this is based on personal experience. All I can tell you is that if it comes down to the fact that you can't get one at all, just get an F, or get a Gigabeat S and wait for the port to arrive.

Alright well thank you.
