You could always take a linux laptop to the store, and TryForSure to mount it USB and play a file you chucked onto its filesystem ;)
Good benefit of the brick-and-mortars... or, you could find a nice pre-PFS player used or on a discount site.

"PlayForSure" is the Microsoft branded DRM. "PlaysForS%$%^" is more like
it. (It is a very troublesome bit of code to keep working, even if you do
use Microsoft products.) It also drains battery life on the device
because of the extra cpu load.
I have been looking at either the SanDisk or iRiver. (iRiver will play
ogg files!)
