I've been looking for a long ass time for something that was basically an iPod that would play movies as well

this one does it, plus you can dock it with your TV/satellite/cable etc, and use it as a freaking PVR (tivo stylez)

quick, someone buy one, and tell me how much it rawks so i can show the GF that other people have them and aren't retarded

If I travelled I'd be all over it. But unless you're on the road a lot, that really is a bit more than anyone needs.

I'm in like Flynn!

I showed the webpage to the GF and her first reaction was to ask:

"So, this thing will let me record the Gilmore Girls?"

Booya~

I feel your pain, Tikker. Literally.

You have to buy one. Your job is on the line here.... Just imagine you have just finished up your spifferic PowerPoint presentation on your 5 year old Sony Vaio provided to from logistics from the deepest darkest coat closet in building 5 and your less than 10 minutes away from a meeting with the "Bob's" over in accounting to show them how you increased profit in 3rd quarter 27.2 percent in hopes that you can oust Carl out of the executive office (everyone knows Carl locks the door during lunchtime to play with himself and pick his nose and he's 83 anyways its time for this fucker to go) and your POS Sony Vaio desktop crashes on you because you forgot to have the sysadmins install the latest patch to Windows Millenium. Now your screwed because your presentation is 7 minutes away and the nearest sysadmin is locked up in building 4 engaged in a lively, but important game of Leisuresuit Larry IV, Phat Black Hookers expansion. Had you bought the above device you could have backed up your presentation, delivered to the Bob's on time, while the spiffy device entranced them with "Big Pimpin" by Jay-Z whilst it alternated between powerpoint slides and some really cool Windows Media Center POrtable Edition Visualations ensuring your rise to power and Carl's decent to social security.

Instead you've been downsized and now working the mail room sorting Penny Saver coupons for those snotty blond bitches over in headquarters.

I'm about ready to fire off an order form for one, then started thinking about servicing

Anyone have an idea if any major retailer might carry these things?

Looks still pretty new, I don't see it at any of the local retailers here.
