Sleek design, Small size, Rugged construction.

The PSA64 is a compact and sporty MP3 player for athletes and health freaks. But it's very little of anything else. Designed for athletes, this is a product that takes the attributes from two companies that have revolutionised their respective turfs. Philips, as just about everyone is aware of, is a consumer electronics giant that was instrumental in the making of the compact disk. Nike, as just about everyone is aware of, is a company that combines marketing hype and sweatshop labour into overpriced and irresistible objects of desire. Together, this tag team is out to create some of the most badass portable audio, and we got a little sampling of it.
Bling Bling!!!
When you're buying have an MP3 player designed by Nike, you're not only playing for features, you're paying for that intangible thing called cool. And this MP3 player has loads of mojo, baby. As far as the design goes, the PSA 64 player has the wow factor pinned down. It's not an MP3 player; really, it's a prosthetic, a cyborg upgrade, and a pacemaker all rolled into one. The Velcro armband and the magnets integrate the MP3 player to your body like second skin, you can jog to your heart out without skipping a beat.

I bought a nike mp3 player about 10 months ago, and now it doesn't work, I mean suddenly doesn't turn on, and the worst thing about this is that my vendor only gives me a 6 month warranty!! I paid about US$200 and what for?. It happens to me too with the first model of the nike mp3, (I think was by Rio audio).
Conclusion: Nike sucks!!!!.... I will never buy again nike electronics.... They just looks "cool" but that's all.

I totally agree with Luis, my PSA broke twice in the first two months. The Phillips / Nike PSA is the biggest waste of money possible. To all who read this, don't bother buying this product cause Nike should stick to clothing and Phillips ... well they should just close down cause nothing else they make is any good either.

Firmware drivers for XP for PSA64, Model # ACT200/17 can be found at http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=ACT200/17&scy=&slg=ENG&tmplt=&SearchTxt=ACT200&grp=&cat=&sct=
***These drivers do not support secured WMA files. They have no fix for that.

Can't load PSA64 Drivers or Music Match Plug in on XP, MM says the latest version doesn't require plug in but system does not recognize the device. Anyone know where/how to get it working on XP w/out original CD? FYI~ Dell DJ works fine.

I have trouble downloading the drivers and I have windows XP. My neighbor is an IT gut nad showed me how, but it was real confusing. They should make the installation process easier. ALso, the headphones hurt my ears.

I'm with you Fiona. I did the same thing (upgrade from Win98 to XP) and I can't get my PSA64 to download my mp3 files. Did you get help? If so, please email me at egoines@aol.com with instructions. Thanks!

i have a psa 64 and think that the instuctions for the devise should be printed clearly insted of on a disk. i also puchased it from argos and the packaging was ripped open before i got it they blamed the supplier for the problem.

Hoe is playing the mp3 but is expensive much any chaep option is the avail???
by gunjan, rajasthan, on Apr 28, 2003 05:27 PM, Report abuse Reply
Plenty of cheap options available. Stay away from these RAM based players and go for a CD based player at the minimum. One of those chinese VCD/MP3 portable players should only cost Rs. 2000-2500. But then cheap is not quality. Another way if you look, instead of spending 8000/- on one player, spend 2000/- on four players over the next four years.

Hey, I think this review and all the reviews on techtree are excellent for their technical and information value. The language edit, however, is something that could be looked into.
by Victor Rodrigue, Mumbai, on Jan 29, 2003 08:48 AM, Report abuse Reply
I quite disagree. I think techtree has been rather disgraceful right from day one. I would rather read CHIP or DIGIT or even PCQuest instead of wasting my time on this bad website. And anyone who disagrees is a blinking moron.
