Apple 80GB Black iPod Classic - £129 @ Currys

don't like ipodshmod

but hot for this deal - also in silver it seems

good deal but quite old so difficult to find them.

Do you still have to convert everything to apple propriatary format or can you just drag and drop mp3 into these these days. I am guessing not.....

Bought the new nano for the youngster and was dreading using itunes, downloaded the new version and bined the requests to sync library and chose the manual handling which means you can drag and drop.

Maybe they have learnt from previous mistakes?

This is a good deal considering the capacity of these suckers

they've supported mp3 since day one

This is an old model. I'd rather pay the extra £45 and get the 120gig up2date classic + a free £10 gift card at Argos.... Or anywhere else. Point is these are gonna be cheap now to make room for the others. Keep an eye out for the (also old) 160gig version dropping in price bit by bit, day by day. Not bad, but not great for a soon-to-be outdated model. Fork out the extra little bit now so you don't regret it in 6months time when these 80gigs are RETRO

Good deal for those who don't mind an older model but I agree with SuperDan.

that's the problem with the ipod.. it's like a fashion accessory. 6 months time and this will be "outdated"

I guess you'll have to bin it when that time comes

Its not 'outdated' as such and wont be 'outdated' in six months time. I think the point is if you're going to spend £129 on this you'd be as well to find an extra £30 for 50% more hard disk space and the latest model.
If this was £99 i'd vote it hot, but its no bargain at this price. Voted cold.

Been this price for ages and unfortunately has been out of stock everywhere for ages.

Good find this one, yes I know the 120 Gb one has more storage but then if your music collection will fit into 80 Gb with room to spare why spend money getting storage space you don't need. The only other thing you lose is the Genius feature which I've not used since I bought mine 2 months ago.

Voted hot!

Take no notice of the negative comments Bookshifter. This is a hot deal if ever ther is one. Sometimes I wonder about the people commenting on this site........

Hi everyone , let me know your thoughts on this i bought one of these in Argos Taunton (somerset) wednesday just gone , and it was a managers special , its a 80gb and it was in black or silver , i went for black and i paid £119.99 and then got the £10 giftcard . Making it only £109.99 . I was gonna try the trick of buying a £100 giftcard but she said we dont issue the free giftcard on purchases of giftcards.

I think £119.99 plus the £10 giftcard is a bargain - Shall i post it as a deal ( i dont know how to post a picture of my reciept though ) plus it may only be taunton store ?
