Buying an iPod! Where in the States?

[Guest cybercamel]

I'm off to the States in March, Iowa/Nebraska first :D then down to Florida :D . I'm going to get myself an ipod, so any advice would be appreciated. Especially with regards to the best (eg cheapest) place to buy it from?

If I were to choose a place I'd say online. That's where you're going to find it for the cheapest. As for in a store, they're all going to be right around the same price. I always like to buy my stuff from Circuit City. They have a 30 day replacement guarantee which I like.

I would probably go to the Best Buy. They always have them. And you will get some mail-in rebates

[Guest cybercamel]

Thanks guys, probably wont be able to order it on-line, as I'm only visiting! Is Best Buy a store and whats a mail-in rebate? :D

[Guest nobznss]

Best buy is a store, and a mail in rebate is a deal that you mail in and they send you money back for it. Problem is it takes at least 90 days (sometimes shorter if you're lucky) to get anything back from them. You may be long gone by then.

You cant swing a cat in the US without hitting a store that sells ipods. BestBuy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Target...all of them should be selling for the same price and all usually offer a 10% discount if you see the same thing advertised in the other stores.
