I won a $250 Best Buy gc from work and I had a $50 gc from a rebate. So I went to Best Buy and got a 20gb iPod for free today. :D

Your thread title really caught our eye.

You're saying you could have used the dough toward any player, but got the most expensive one with the worst sound quality, fewest features, lowest battery life, and most gaudy looks? Um... congrats? :confused:

Hmm, I think he actually went for the mp3 player with the best design and user interface.

Should be cautious. As mentioned in a prior thread, punishment of offenders (handled by Beau) is quite severe. A glimpse can be found here.

Just ask Fausto.

I have, not that it matters - my statement was based mostly on facts about it.

Subjective, not factual. Personally I think it's designed like crap. Bright white plastic and bright lights? I liked that sorta toy - when I was 10. Not everyone enjoys a user interface that treats them like a 5 year old either; actually a lot don't, judging by how few Mac users there are ;)

Whoa whoa you're slamming the Mac because not many people buy it? Well, the iPod IS #1 selling HD-based mp3 player you know... so by your logic the iPod is a good mp3 player.

You got me there, good call. Subjectivity doesn't belong here (although I do feel it looks like a child's toy).

Factual statements about the iPod stand though; low SQ, most expensive, few features, low battery life, no ogg/flac/wma support.
