Here it goes… I just picked up my new 4GB Nano for $50. How? Well back in the day, 4 years ago to this day I bought a Rio 128MB MP3 player from bestbuy for $199. I was smart enough to buy the 4 year service/replacement plan with it. I have gone thru 2 Rio 128s (died), 1 samsung yepp (clicking sound in the audio), another samsung yepp (died), and most recently a 512MB MPIO (occasional problems w/ being recognized by my windows machine, audio playback issues on occasion, and finally gave up the ghost in the last few days). needless to say my MPIO died in a timely manner. i took it in, grabbed me a white 4GB Nano, paid the $50 difference, and they actually gave me another 2 year replacement plan for $40! so actually ~$90, but not bad for a $250 piece of equipment eh? While it costs a little extra for the plan, I’d recommend that ppl go w/ a vendor or retailer that can offer a comprehensive replacement plan for these little guys. in any case now i can’t find an excuse to avoid buying a digital camera and take some pictures of my Apple setup.

I wish i coudl pick one up for that little I have never done the Best Buy plan but i have heard good things like this. Did they hassle you about getting something else? or was it very easy?

Not a bad idea, I only wished that I bought one of those replacement plans.

Did they hassle you about getting something else? or was it very easy? nope. no problems whatsoever the girl helping me was even commenting. “it so worth it because by the time something goes wrong u can get something much better.” w/ the replacement plan u can basically go and pick out an item of the same value that u originally purchased. u don’t have to pick the same product/brand/etc. so i’ve gone from 128MB to 4GB over the life of the plan!

I traded them each in several times and tried out several different players. I personally liked the Rio Karma, but the drive froze up. Oh well, BB’s Prot Rep Plan is good.
