After my old 10 GB iPod broke and I sent it in, I received a voucher in the mail for a new $299.99 iPod. It is really just a shame that not only do I get a shiny scratchless new iPod, but that Apple also discontinued their 10 GB model. Convieniantly, now the 15 GB model costs the same as the 10 GB model used to cost so I got a replacement iPod and an extra 5 GB for practically free. When I say practically free I mean that the price was actually $2 less than it had cost me before. So I got $2 back, and then paid $40. You see, while purchasing the $40 2-year replacement plan for my original iPod, the retailer forgot to inform me that if I were to actually call the number in the pamphlet that it would automatically void the insurance plan from carrying on to my replacement. They also did not tell me this when I called that number. I did not like the idea of my iPod breaking again, so I bought a new insurance plan. It looks like the Best Buy insurance plan has its own dirty little secret.
