Best Place To Buy An iPod 4th Gen?

[AJLumantao]

Where's the best place to buy an iPod 4th Gen? I think I'll be buying one for myself (with the help of my grandmother paying for the slack) since my birthday's gonna be on September 11 already. How much is the current price at the Apple Center? Is it going to be better if I buy from Ynzal or LMK because they offer "education pricing"? How about if I buy it from Hong Kong instead since I'll probably go there (if I decide to) towards the end of September? Will it be cheaper?

I'm looking for the best deal since I'm just a high school student I don't have any source of income.

Are there any of you guys selling 4th Gen iPods for a "cheaper" price? I'm just a U2U away.

Dang... Gotta buy a Firewire PCI card for my wretched PeeCee.

how about a 30GB 3rd Gen or a Bnew mini? you may also check the buy and sell section...

i think LMK is selling them a bit cheaper? correct me if i'm wrong...

I think that I'll be better off with a 20GB 4th Gen instead since my music library amounts to about 5.5+GB and the iPod Mini would not suffice since it only has 4GB.

I called up LMK and they said the 20GB 4th Gen is selling for P25k if I heard her correctly. Is the price reasonable enough? Diba parang dapat price yun nang 40GB na 4th Gen and the 20GB should be at only 18-19K? She said that the price is already discounted and so I can't avail of Educational pricing.

P25K for a 20GB 4G iPod is nuts. ;-)

18,688 pesos for a 20 Gig 4Gen at PowerMac. Got the price list today !

I think the 25k+ LMK quoted you on is for the 40Gig 4th Gen.

Get in touch with other local resellers

Whichever dealer you decide to get it from i suggest you get your 4th Gen iPod here in Manila (I presume that you stay in Manila). Since its a new release some 4th Gen iPod units are bound to be lemons. If by some accident your unit turns out to be a lemon, and not an apple , , the store where you bought it from will be more than willing to replace it since you got it from them.

I presume that they delivered it to your doorstep. Is that correct?
