"SOUP!"
Posts: 13,017
I'm wanting to get myself a 20gb iPod this xmas and I'm selling various things (ps2, cds, my body, etc) to pay for it.

I'm wondering, however, where's the best place to buy one from price wise, escept I don't trust eBay sellers for something as expensive as this.

the Apple website says $299, which I deduced with an online currency converter to be round £165, and if I'm not wrong I can get 10% off any apply produce with my NUS card, which will cut it down to more or less £150.

(Please, correct me here if I am wrong)


So give me some 'pod advice, ideas of prices and retailers, etc.

Thankuu.

Paradox, get an iPod. Everyone who is telling you to get a Zen just want to be different because they 1) Cant afford an iPod 2) Want to be different.

I know I said that twice btw.

iPods are more reliable, Creative are okay but i'd rather stick with the top-notch stuff.

iPods look better too, that Zen Jukebox looks like an Xbox.

Why?

Because it's an iPod?

The only thing the iPod has over the Zen touch is a tiny size difference.

ZEN -- 4.12" x 2.7" x 0.87"
iPod - 4.1" x 2.4" x .57"

Apart from that there's nothing else that's really gonna make things better on the iPod. Just look at some of the specs; the battery life difference is great!
