A controversial topic: black v. white

[Tiger Edge]

80.

For real.

 

[Utoo]

Black, baby.

After having the U2 iPod, you'll be sorely disappointed in the white one after a few months.

 

[U2Man]

i see most people on interference have good taste.

That depends...

Ouch.

 

[Tiger Edge]

Ouch.

You did order the Chicken Fried Chicken, Gottage...

Tasted like chicken.

 

[Tiger Edge]

Tasted like chicken.

Chicken fried in chicken.

 

[got_edge]

Chicken fried in chicken.

'Hot pocket' hot pocket.

 

[Queen Bee]

Trust me- you want the 80GB.

Okay okay okay okay

80GB it is!

But should I buy it online for the free engraving or skip that and get it at a retailer

Skip it. And don't forget the extended warranty!

 

[U2Man]

buy it online at apple. retailers suck.

 

[Queen Bee]

Apple.com's extended 2-year warranty is $59.99

Best Buy's extended 3-year warranty is $59.99

 

[Tiger Edge]

Go with Apple.

In two years you are going to want the 1000 GB iPod anyways.

 

[Queen Bee]

It's going to take 48 days to ship from Timbuktu

 

[Sicy]

Warranties = waste of money =

 

[Queen Bee]

No way. Given the problems I've had with my iPod over the past two years, this warranty is going to be the smartest thing I've ever purchased

 

[Tiger Edge]

Warranties = waste of money =

I'd be bashing Apple if it weren't for my warranty.

But I will say that most of the warranties for things are a waste of money. But not when it comes to *expensive* technology.
Sometimes things are designed to break for the people that think warranties are a waste of money.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Seriously. If you stick with the default shitty Apple warranty you're guaranteed to have your iPod become an iBrick several days after it expires.

At least if it fails after the 2yr warranty it'll be completely outdated anyway.





Oh, and as far as iPods - once you've had black, you never go back.

 

[U2Man]

i bet queen bee won't have any problems with this new ipod.

 

[Sicy]

No way. Given the problems I've had with my iPod over the past two years, this warranty is going to be the smartest thing I've ever purchased

Really? I actually dont have an ipod but every other warranty I've ever bought has been a complete waste of money for me.

 

[Queen Bee]

Now I'm stuck on what to engrave on my new best friend



This is hopeless

 

[Tiger Edge]

I Leesabeh

Or even better: I Edgar Allen POE

 

[Queen Bee]

I Leesabeh

Or even better: I Edgar Allen POE

But what if I hate you in a couple of months?

 

[RedRocksU2]

buy the warranty for this one, trust me.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Really? I actually dont have an ipod but every other warranty I've ever bought has been a complete waste of money for me.

I think it really depends on the product, really. Big retailers like Best Buy and Circuit City have huge profit margins on selling you those product warranties when you buy electronics. That's why the sales people will always push those on you, even if you're buying a box of paperclips.

For something like an iPod, you've got a hella money invested in a little box with a mechanical click wheel and a tiny hard drive that will get banged around.

 

[Queen Bee]

Maybe I'll just go with this

It'd be like old times with my U2pod!!!

 

[RedRocksU2]

I have heard numerous times from my friends, that when they purchased the warranty, they ended up getting upgraded to the current model for free.

 

[Canadiens1131]

I have heard numerous times from my friends, that when they purchased the warranty, they ended up getting upgraded to the current model for free.

Yeah. Apple's warranty policy is basically

1) receive defective iPod
2) throw out defective iPod
3) send back new current gen iPod

I could see them sending you a new generation one if they don't have the stock left.

 

[Queen Bee]

Guys, guys, guuuys, help me out with the engravement
