Well I got the three year replacement plan from Best Buy. The way they said it to me is that if anything goes wrong with it (normal wear and tear including the battery), that they'll replace it for three years. Also, if a new generation comes out in that time that I can bring in my iPod and trade it for the newer model.

That's awesome. How much did that cost?

Well mine cost me $49.99 with the 6GB iPod Mini. I know the 4GB Mini cost $39.99 and I'm not sure how much the ones for the 20GB or iPod shuffle cost.

I think it was 90.

I just got an ipod mini (blue) from amazon...But I'm willing to return it (unopened...it's a gift for my girl), if I can get it cheaper, and possibly get a warranty.

Run that one by me again. You got an ipod Mini from Amazon for $185? Which model?

Damn! But it is worth it just in case something does happen to it.

Wow, thats a pretty good deal!! Best Buy has it for $199 with the $39.99 replacement plan. It's up to you if you want to spend the extra money, but I think you got a pretty good deal on that one.

The apple store tries to rip you off. They tax it and charge shipping--so I paid 185 for an ipod mini from amazon instead of 215 from apple store online :) And I checked everywhere online...EVERYWHERE.

 

I also spent hours comparing the different mp3s, and ipod seems to be the best. Most storage, longest battery life, and better quality--plus it looks cool.

Ya, I'm considering it--because my girlfriend has broken the cell a couple times--and this is pretty much the same...For three years, I think 40 bucks is worth it...

I just realized we turned a thread about the iRiver into a something completely about the iPod....

 

 

 

 

Opps. :whistle

Plus you can surprise her with an upgrade in a year or two when they bring out the newer models. :thumbup

Well I was considering buying the iriver, but I remember that it had something about it that I didn't like, comparatively...

Well I'll go to best buy tomorrow sometime and check that out...2 year anniversary is on Monday :)

I also spent hours comparing the different mp3s, and ipod seems to be the best. Most storage, longest battery life, and better quality--plus it looks cool.

You should've went to the Apple Store and used your student discount.

You have to go to the real Apple store and show your student ID and you get a discount. I think like 10% off.

I just recently got the Nomad Zen NX 20 Gig. Not the most beautiful player but it's got plenty of space, was pretty cheap (cheaper than that 4 gig Ipod) and it works like a charm. Here's IGN's review of it:

$300 = Price of 20GB iPod

I got mine on Amazon.com for 185 dollars? :confused

 

What programs do you guys use to download songs? I use limewire.

727462[/snapback]

Bearshare.

 

Its the best and Ive used many....

If you like bundle/spyware.

The problem with Nomad, Rio and Iriver is that they are not MP4 compatible, which sucks.

 

Ipod is. MP4s = better bitrate and less hard drive space.

 

I am getting my 20 gig IPOD for 250 with free laser engraving and shipping :)

How are you getting it that cheap?

 

And what exactly is bitrate?

Better sounding, more digital. Like how many bytes per second the song has, the more, the better quality.
