i'm about to buy an ipod nano, and i have two questions

1)wheres the best place to buy an ipod? is it better to buy it off the acctual apple website..
or is it better to buy it at a place like best buy? which store is the best..?

2) should i get a warrenty on it? is it worth it?

[iamsars]

first look at which place is cheaper.. and i think apple lets puts free engravement on back of ipod if u buy from web.. so u can consider that if u want that too xP

o and if ur a student in college u can get a discount i think O.o

[theedqueen]

if you're a student you can go to your student store and get the discount. Got 10% off my iPod that way.

[kAPEESH]

if you get it online, you get free engraving.
i heard its cheap at best buy but im not sure.
you could buy it at the apple store? or circuit city.
i think all the stores are selling the ipod nano at the same price.

I'm pretty sure that with the new iPod and iPod nanos they don't give student discounts. They used to with older ones but not anymore :I Anyway I think the best place is to buy at the apple store because they know their stuff, usually have great customer service, and have tons of accessories available to choose from.

yup. agree

but, i heard ipods are really cheap in singapore. and they're the genuine ones in real big stores

i think the warranty is worth it. i purchased mine from circuit city and my warranty covers accidental damage for two years.

Yeah. The Current generation of Nanos and Video iPods.

You can try Newegg.com ... I believe it sells iPods too.

Don't get the engraving. If there is anything wrong with it, you can't return it because it's "personalized". Probably why they offer free engraving.

Yeah... it's like "Get a free engraving and personalize your iPod but you're screwing yourself because you can never return it since no one else will want your dirty defiled iPod"

Costco's ipods are 10 bucks cheaper than at other stores, and they're really nice about returns. My sister's ipod headphones were all funky and they just gave her a new one. =)

^ does it come with warrenty?

[iamsars]

costco is 6 months warranty on electronics and lifetime warranty on everything else...
so costco warranty is pretty good ;D


i was able to get student discount on my 30 gig video.. but i guess that doesn't count as new? xD

[slau]

It should come with a one year warranty as standard from Apple.

If you buy an engraved ipod you won't be able to return it just because you don't like it, but if it has problems they will fix of replace it.

I don't think it really matters where you get an ipod from, the cost differences aren't massive, and apple will always honour the warranty (sometimes even without the receipt)
