Mike (as I've said before), you won't get one cheaper than if you buy it in the USA.

[Edit 2]-There is no 'hassle' in importing one Mike. You go into the Apple store, you hand over your money, you take it out of it's box & put it in your suitcase/hand luggage for your flight home. :)

It's normally the same in $ in the USA, as it is in £ over here.

For instance, my 20 gig iPod was $300.00 in New York in Feb (about £170.00 ), & the self same package (complete with remote, etc) was £300.00 here...:eek:

Edit] This is £260.00 from Amazon, but would be $260 in NY (£170.0 0 approx)

Waiting till i go to U.S in jan IPOD cost $399 from any apple store an is the new style i pod with the battery playback that last 12 hours rather than the current one available over here that only lasts 8 hours in pounds its about £215 when you have rip of merchants like argos selling the 20g at £299 all the accessories are much cheaper in the US too

If you go to www.apple.com/uk/ipod you will find that they are exactly the same price there. The new 4th gen model were released this week. The 20gig is now only £219. they now come with no dock or remote in the 20gig box and no remote in the 40gig. They also have the click wheel from the mini ipod.

So what they have basically done is 'de-specced' them, & lowered the price.

That's technology for you, I got the remote etc in my box, but I guess it's a case of "that was then, this is now" :shrug:

Re: Cheapest 40BG Ipod Uk ???
 

They haven't really de-specced it. they have changed a lot of things about the operation. ie the battery lasts longer, new shuffle mode and loads of other things i noticed on the apple site. www.ipod lounge.com has a review of the new model.

Sounds like a despec to me :p:

Re: Cheapest 40BG Ipod Uk ???
 

I can do without the remote if that's all that is different :) .....Oh dear shall I go and break the news to the wife. Better buy some chocolate first. Well she is the person who when I said I would take her shopping and she could decide where she booked a trip to New York. I fell for it again when her asked if it was ok to take some shoes back to get them exchanged ...yes guess where :Yikes: NY

£299 is a good price. I'm a bit pee'd off I paid £399 for mine! I saw them in Virgin at the weekend for this and thought it was selling off the old 3G versions - but I guess not.
