I have a feeling......

New empegs will dry up @ the end of the year. The warranty is up ~January. NIB means "never tested" at that point.

I have 3 empegs. 1 isn't opened. I'm strongly considering opening it, as both of my other empegs had/have problems. My opened 30GB has a dim display. I'm going to get it fixed, but I'd hate to have to do that out of warranty.
