ipod touch (3rd gen) 8GB for 169.99...best buy

pay pal has a deal for $20 off anything over $100 (in form of a rebate). Put ipod touch in your cart, deal will appear.

Not too shabby.

Also the 3rd gen iPod Touch 8 gig is really a rebadged 2nd gen with 2nd gen hardware.. 🙁

Only the 32Gig and 64gig units are actually "upgraded" 3rd gen units...

yeah, but if they told people that, then they would have no excuse to sell the lower GB ones at a "new price". 😉 I just saw this b/c my gf got rid of her iphone (the plan was f'n expensive" and she wanted an ipod in its place. It was buy this with a 1 year warranty, or buy a refurbed 2g for $30 less with a 90 day warranty. Might as well buy the new and if any problems occur, bring it back to best buy.

Interesting...thanks...I was looking at getting the 3rd Gen (smallest GB size...don't need that much room), but will now pass as I don't want old hardware.

Yet another reason for me not to buy Apple products...deceptive marketing practices.

Well, it does come with the 3.1 software upgrade so you are getting something new with it
plus it's a little cheaper then the older "2G" version...
