hey all,
i woke up this morning all excited about the new ipod releases and whatever else was going to come with it. so i go to apple.com and see that there is a new ipod touch!! wow! the 8gb model is $US229! thats a pretty good deal!
the 16gb is $US299, which isn't too bad. no biggie, i check out the apple.com.au store to see if its been updated yet, and it has.
i see the "From $329 AU" price tag for the 8gb and nearly fall over. what the hell apple? you can't just add an extra $100AU onto the price because we aren't in your country! if you convert US$229 its only AU$282. this is pathetic apple, i know that you cant just compare things as easily as currency rates. but we aren't a country that has a weak economy. i just dont understand...
the AU$549 price tag on the 32gb comes out to be US$445, an extra US$45..
is this just me?? or does this whole thing just push you over the edge? i have an urge to get on ebay and buy one from the US, even with shipping it would still be less!
