I got a 30gig and paid only $300...and I have had it on for like 5 months and the battery hasnt died yet. ipods fucking own, everyone in my family has one lol, no problems in like 3 years with them

[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":9a6a6]Hah, $640? FUCK THAT! That's a waste of money.

Kind of expensive considering it only plays mp3s.[/quote:9a6a6]

I definately agree with that. What is the point of buying a $640 mp3 player when you can download a free one on your pc, buy one for about $200 or so for your car, or get a $40 walkman? I know the big thing is mobility, but here are the drawbacks as I see them:

You cant bring your ipod to school, or you risk getting it stolen, or confiscated.

You can listen to your mp3s at home on your pc, walkman, or car for a fraction of what you paid for your ipod.

In what situation would you need 100G of mp3s of music, and how situations arise where you are hours or days away from any other source of music other than an ipod?

You have to buy a $100 battery.

Let me know why you picked this in particular please.

Give me a Johnny Cash 8 track tape anyday......

Wow that sucks.

Unreplaceable isn't even a word.

ipod got ownd

That isnt necessarily true, my whole family has had them for over 2 years, and none of them are dead and we use them every day.

Very cool, but I for one, am Anti-Ipod. I just don't like it. Too much money, for something too useless. I have a $150 MP3 Player that holds 6GB, which is plenty of room for me.

I wanna get the 10 Gig iPod
