    Another ipod thread :o

    Sorry guys but i need a few questions answering. Im feeling the need to joint the ipod revolution . I would prefer the 3rd gen model- it seems its only made in 15gig and up sizes, really a 10gig would be more than enough for me though so is this true?

    And the predictable question where are the best deals available? buy of apple direct witha studenty discount?

    cheers

    Apple direct /w Student Discount
    OR
    if you know someone at DSG....

    The 15gb is what you want since it comes with the remote and the carry case... the 10GB didn't so it is worth the extra 50 quid.

    nuts john lewis dont seem to have the 15gig

    Hmm im getting confused now. Apples uk site has (3rd gen, only one im intrested in) 15 20 and 40gig models no 30 or 10 gig models

    and it appares that the 15 gig doesnt come with the remote/carrycase/dock either

    Nope, you have to splash out if you want all those extras.

    don't forget about the studenty discount

    ooh, or..

    ah bum..
    Do I have to pay VAT or any other import duty upon delivery?
    We do not charge VAT. Once an item clears the customs, there may be a clearance fee by the post office or an import duty determined by the customs. Buyer is responsible for all charges.

    Just come back from my local dixons...

    With a sexy new 3rd gen 20gig- i felt compelled as it was £200

    I dont need the remote or the case, i really want the dock but il just get one seperate i suppose. I only have 3-4gig of mp3's so the 20gig would have been wasted on me. Im loving it

    Cheers for the help guys

    hmm that T3 10% is quite a good idea.

    a 40gb for 340 all in

    Just need to get komplett to RMA this USA one I have here.
    They said it was UK iPod, then when it turns up it is a USA iPod Yet it still cost 387 PLUS p&p so final price was same as a UK one.
