Product Rating: 4 star(s) Creative Zen Portable Media Centre

Comments:
Eight months after its announcement, the Creative Zen PMC is finally here. Despite its bulk, the player is solid, but it's the Microsoft Portable Media Center software that deserves most of the praise.

Comments:
Microsoft and Creative Labs come together to create a portable media center, but is it any good?

Review Verdict: If you don't own a PC capable of TV taping, it's hugely disappointing. Without the ability to directly record video, and no easy way to port DVDs to the PMC, you'd be better off buying a portable DVD player.

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Product Reviews: Creative Zen Portable Media Center

Comments:
The Zen Portable Media Center features a built in speaker for audio playback. While audio playback is clear enough to be understood, we highly suggest using the supplied headphones for a better aural experience. Playback is smooth but as mentioned earlier

Review Verdict: While it offers reasonable performance, the player's high price had us wishing it came with a longer list of standard features.
