This is what 200 iPod shuffles looks like

Just went out to buy 250 ipod shuffles and was assured by every Apple channel that I could find that due to the fact that they are new there is no discount on them at all - that's a hefty price tag

I can only hope they just scanned the UPCs on the shipping boxes as opposed to each individual retail box...

its 110% not buyable here in DK.. cant wait though..(-:

YAY! Just picked mine up last night. My first shuffle! I've got a black 80GB Video and a Black 1G 4GB nano. I never thought I'd like a shuffle, but this thing is pretty snazzy if I must say so myself. I know I'll lose it one day this week and flip out.(But thats what the $79 price tag is for right??)... oh, by the way, if you ever want to buy an iPod, go to Deleware.(I was there on a family trip)... no sales tax on some of the bigger iPods saves some money!!!

Apple does not typically provide any discounts on iPods. They don't have to!

If one breaks, do you have to bring the reciept in?

The clerk did the right thing scanning each unit, because sometime what is on the outside box does not match what is inside the box.

They scan the individual units for the serial number. However, the outside of the box has a bar code with every units serial number on it. So the clerk is stoopid.

It is not to scan the UPC, but to scan the Serial numbers.

I imagine it's not so much the UPC (same for each), but the fact that apple scans the bar code representing the serial number of each iPod purchased...
