ZVUE's 1GB Journey DAP comes with 22 tracks you'll never delete

Brace yourselves, dear readers. The item we're about to explain just might be is most certainly the best thing to ever happen to the digital audio player market. ZVUE's 1GB pre-loaded Journey MP3 player not only reeks of the early '80s in design alone, but this thing actually arrives with 22 Journey tracks loaded on (11 new joints, 11 of your childhood favorites). It's like buying Journey's greatest hits and getting a DAP for free -- go on, be good to yourself, it's only $39.88. Jump past the break if you need some encouragement / discouragement.

At the bottom of the barrel.

[tyler @ Jul 25th 2008 11:13AM]

At first glance, I thought it said 'ZUNE 1GB Journey DAP...'

.. and then I realized I could never be that lucky.

[iEye @ Jul 25th 2008 7:53AM]

Crap I'm getting old.... now I feel scared... :-(

[Conor Maher @ Jul 25th 2008 7:53AM]

WANT!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care how bad it is, Its a fucking Journey DAP!

[XenoX101 @ Jul 25th 2008 7:55AM]

Is there any relation at all between Journey and MP3 Players? They're not even in the same decade. Meh

[NHAnimator @ Jul 25th 2008 8:13AM]

Don't stop believin', my friend. Don't stop believin.

[JamesR @ Jul 25th 2008 8:37AM]

Music....Music Player...Music...Music Player...

There has to be a connection...I just can't see it...Music...Music Player...

[Sandlog @ Jul 25th 2008 8:03AM]

this is pretty damn sweet.

too bad it doesn't have a picture of steve perry in tight jeans on the back.

[markus @ Jul 25th 2008 8:04AM]

Would someone explain to me how there is only on VOLUME button? How's that work? Is it because you would only turn it up and never down? ;-)

[Bob @ Jul 25th 2008 8:12AM]

It's Journey...You will never want to turn it down!

[Thijs Haenen @ Jul 25th 2008 8:17AM]

I'm guessing there'll be some sort of menu that comes up on the screen, enabling you to raise or lower the volume using the buttons on the side.

[Aspartame @ Jul 25th 2008 8:13AM]

Man, I'd love to buy this, but I'm just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit.

[JR @ Jul 25th 2008 8:58AM]

[AndrewN @ Jul 25th 2008 9:28AM]

I always chuckled at this lyric when I was a kid because there is no south Detroit--south of Detroit is Canada. I guess he's referring to the southwest side?

[JR @ Jul 25th 2008 7:06PM]

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Detroit

Since when was Canada ever south?

[Fubar @ Jul 25th 2008 8:23PM]

@JR: OK, on that map, there's a spot that says "Detroit." Right below that--due South--there's a spot that says "Windsor." That would be Windsor, Ontario.

[AMc @ Jul 25th 2008 8:14AM]

Does this go all the way up to 11?

[CM @ Jul 25th 2008 8:15AM]

Who?!

[Harlo @ Jul 25th 2008 10:03AM]

No this is Journey. They don't have an MP3 player yet.

[Matt @ Jul 25th 2008 8:17AM]

That sound you hear is thousands of frat boys cheering.

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that FEELING

[neofolklore @ Jul 25th 2008 8:43AM]

haha aw so true I WANT SUMMER TO BE OVER NOW

[deyanimay @ Jul 25th 2008 8:18AM]

This reminds me of my sisters razr. It came with the crappy Motorola ring tone and video but you can't delete it. It just doesn't let you.

[Dxw @ Jul 25th 2008 8:27AM]

Who is this "Journey?"

[Hafk @ Jul 25th 2008 8:27AM]

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways!

[albi @ Jul 25th 2008 8:30AM]

wow, big deal!! hah, NOT

[CtotheD182 @ Jul 25th 2008 8:34AM]

Oh this is deffinatly Kind of a Big Deal.

[farfisa @ Jul 25th 2008 8:35AM]

What a phenomenal idea!

[dextro @ Jul 25th 2008 8:36AM]

I'm gonna go to this mp3 player with open arms...

[DT @ Jul 25th 2008 8:41AM]

Ok... so how long till they come out with a Pink Floyd version?

But one requirement... it has to have enough capacity to hold the entire discography. And the funky cover overlay should be designed by Storm Thorgerson.

Does 1gb even hold the entire Journey discography?

[allenvanhellen @ Jul 25th 2008 8:46AM]

Where's the Journey button? You know, to stop everything and start the Journey?

[ronzo @ Jul 25th 2008 8:54AM]

The wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

[dale_nx26 @ Jul 25th 2008 9:08AM]

i never heard of this band before...but i've heard of led zepplin, kiss, the queens, pink floyd, and the like. must mean something...???

[Jeff @ Jul 25th 2008 10:29AM]

Yes, "The Queens." Shouldn't they rest of that list be The Led Zepplins, The Kisses and The Pink Floyds?

I do enjoy Revelation by The Journeys.

[Jeff @ Jul 25th 2008 10:31AM]

[dale_nx26 @ Jul 25th 2008 6:15PM]

wow, one mistake. look, u typed "they" instead of "the," plus you double posted. let me make a big deal out of it. the point of my post is that this band is not the most popular group. i don't hear it on radio nor ever heard it being discussed, whereas the others i listed have.

[Galley @ Jul 25th 2008 9:09AM]

Journey's new album, "Revelation" is great!

[Unknown @ Jul 25th 2008 9:11AM]

"Jump past the break"??

I swear, every time I see "after the jump" or "after the break" on an article like this I want to punch the poster right in the face.

But "Jump past the break"? You've reached new depths of suck.

[Jesse Dula @ Jul 25th 2008 9:15AM]

I'll be alright without you, Journey MP3 player.

Oh hell, Im gonna Be Good To Myself, and pick one of these up.

[dann bohn @ Jul 25th 2008 9:28AM]

I feel like a tool. But I really, really want this

[IT-Accountant @ Jul 25th 2008 9:42AM]

This thing is full of win.

[Mister Winky @ Jul 25th 2008 9:53AM]

Guys, I hate to sprinkle some downer flakes on this party but this isn't the original band. Steve Perry is nowhere to be found here. The 11 greatest hits were re-recorded with their new singer.

[IT-Accountant @ Jul 25th 2008 3:12PM]

shut up. you lie. stop ruining my happiness!

[retro77 @ Jul 25th 2008 9:55AM]

Instant collector's item.

[journeydublin @ Jul 25th 2008 10:56AM]

New Journey Rocks

I would buy a Collective Soul edition ZVUE...

[Russ @ Jul 25th 2008 12:18PM]

[Kim @ Jul 25th 2008 12:31PM]

Turn UP! the RAdiOoo..... oh, wait. hope they changed those lyrics. My favorite journey song jus isn't d same no more. :-(

[Kim @ Jul 25th 2008 12:46PM]
