Where did you get your iPod?

Just like to see if buying off the internet is still as popular as it used to be.

I voted gift (because it was ) but I probably would have bought one off the internet. Some good deals are to be had sometimes.

i voted Apple Store, but i meant Apple Retail Store when i said that. i think you should have distinguished in your poll between Apple online and Apple IRL...

Yea... It really sucks, because I hate Best Buy and like to patronize Circuit City. Too bad.

Got first one from VW when with got a New Beetle. I claimed it as mine, of course. She revolted and just bought one from the Apple store. I got a Mac out of that deal, though.

I had to get it at Best Buy. After deciding on the iPod I couldn't wait to get it. Did some price matching and got my 15 gig for $350 and got the $40 4 year warranty. Need to buy a case still tho. This apple case is stratching my screen.

did a price search and amazon.de (Germany) had the 2nd cheapest with 579 Euro
I have only good experiences with amazon and it arrived the next day. unfortunately the Firewirecard from ebay, bought 3 days earlier, did not...
So I had to wait two days before i could really use it
