I had an Archos Gmini 400 which got squashed in transit. I almost bought the 402 because I missed it so much but for £10 more I went for this.
I have absolutely no regrets.
The first thing to say which I have not seen mentioned anywhere is that you can play the video back through the TV with a simple lead. I used the one that was included in my Gmini pack and it is almost (but not 100%) DVD quality.
Second, it is very easy to burn your DVDs (only for your own use of course) and convert them into AVI files. Then the quality is wonderful.
the sound is excellent.
I bought an i-nique case and screen protector. The case is worth the £10 spent - really good as the case it comes ... Read More:

I purchased one online then I came across the reviews sections they were all informative and helpful.
I did cancel the order after I read them because of all the extras needed to make the system work to it,s full potential, I did feel as thou I was being ripped off because of that,even thou it does sound what I was looking for and fits the bill,thankyou again for those reviews.

I bought this primarily for playing music. 30gb is more than enough for music, but I also have ten different films on there along with all my music and have 10gb still to use up. However, on further investigation it actually only spots you 27gb, because of system files and when you get back down to your last 4gb out of that, it don't like to store anymore, so basically you have 23-24gb of actual storage, however if you convert film files as below, you can get storage for films and music that's more than enough.
One thing it doesn't tell you, it plays AVI movies, these files however are rather large, if I were you I would convert to good quality DivX, the picture quality and sound quality are virtually maintained and the file sizes are ... Read More:

This is great for watching recorded TV shows and movies when commuting. I will discuss recording with Free View (or similar) since when researching the product I could not find anything about it. Yes, you can record from Free View. The key is that the Archos docking station (yes, you have to buy this extra) sits between your TV and your Free View box (or DVD player, etc). In other words, for the non-technical people, instead of connecting the Free View box directly to the TV you connect it to the docking station which in turn you connect to the TV. Therefore, whatever you watch on TV is going through the Archos and you can record.
Pros:
The image is really good.
You can connect to your stereo to listen to music.

This is, without doubt, the best gadget I've ever bought. Yes, it's tiresome that one has to buy the docking station separately, but massive cons far outweight this minor quibble. I travel a lot and this has taken the tedium out of travel. It can fit in a pocket and is so unobtrusive you can play it on even the most unfriendly-user train (which in the UK is most of them). It has a solid feel but isn't heavy and I simply wouldn't be without it. Highly recommended.
