iPod nano (Back to School Promo)

Looking to buy a new macbook, however, i read that you are unable to get the new nanos as a part of this. Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

Yes.

But, are you refering to the US or UK promo?

US, i was really looking forward to that new nano

And i was hoping i could ask whoever was selling me the machine if i could have a new nano instead, and by doing that i would get one as opposed to the old nano, does this work? Does it depend on who you ask or if you ask, or is it just a straight up NO?

The terms of the rebate lists specific model numbers (the old ones)

Even if they did sell you a new one, you would have to mail in the rebate form with your UPC labels etc, and wait for the cheque to come in the mail. By buying something outside the terms and conditions, you will not get approved. So, you don't get your money back

They'll happily sell you a new nano, but when you submit the rebate it will get denied and you won't get any money back on it. You buy the iPod upfront and get the money back, it's not up to the sales dude whether you get one for free or not. You can ask, and they'll sell you one, but you'll pay $200 like everyone else.
