The video I pod is only $50.00 more, holds WAY more music, and plays video. I'd compare the two before you decide. I think you'll agree it's a better deal. The adaptor is way overpriced at Circuit City and Best Buy. There's a place near my house called Newbury Comics that sells it for under $20.00. I don't know if they have a website but I'm sure you can find one on-line for a good price. Check it out.
