If you live in a big metro area check out Criagslist. There are often SB3s and older for sale, sometimes for pretty cheap. -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this

[slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) discontinued?

Hi I heard rumors that the Classic will be discontinued due to the release of the Touch but haven't been able to find anything specific about this. Are the rumors true and when will this happen (I'd like to get 1 or 2 extra Classic's before it's too late). Cheers, Tommy -- tipsen

Yes, I tend to agree with you. But the USB port is a very nice feature for future applications. But Ido agree with you . I could like SB3s for the money. Less things that go wrong. -- Ikabob Ikabob's Profile:

Thanks for the replies. I'm still interested in the Classic since it's a cheap solution - I'd rather have two extra Classic's than one Touch. Furthermore the display of the Classic is readable from a distance (4-6m) which I don't think will be the case with the Touch's display. Sorry to hear that
