I got a 60 GB!!

Even though my tracking info said 40, i got a 60GB when i came home. looks like we're the first shipment of 60s!

wow congrats, After hoping for the 40 I think the 60 is better for my situation now. I called the apple store and i can get a $450 credit and either get the 30 gig for $320 or the guy said they have one 40 gig left which would be around 300 bucks! I might be lucky enough to get the 40 gig i wanted with the accessories and an extra $150 to boot!
Congrats again !

Nice! Mine is coming on Monday, I'm hoping for the 60. Did anyone else get one yet? Please post which size you got when you do.

By the way, I was in the 3/8 STV batch

shit that sucks i really wanted all the goodies with the 40 gb!

I ordered the 40GB, never got it after months of waiting, then when they sent it, it was a 20GB which I had to send back. evil

I ordered the 40GB and I expect to receive it. If they send me a 60GB I just hope I have the willpower to send it back, rather than setting it on fire....










and then sending it back....

so much for me getting a 40 now i called back and they said they are out of the 40's. I'm considering getting the 30 gig, 512 shuffle and a dock with student discount should be right around the $450 credit i would get from trading in the 60. I cant see myself filling up 30 gigs with pix and music, on my 20 gig its like half full. 60 is just mind blowing, my damn hard drive on my pc is 40 haha.

Sweet! I'm in the same batch and I was hoping for a 60gb...hopefully it's the same for me. It should be, right?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

I am now officially pissed at Gratis. evil

By the way, what came with the 60gb?

pretty much nothing which blows!!

I wanna punch a wall.....

yea im quite pissed, sure i can trade it in for the 30 gig and then buy the AV cable for 20 bux, dock for 35, the case for 35, firewire etc but i will still be 10 gigs less then i could have all together with the 40. what a hassle, bad move apple

I'm not blaming Apple, though.

I went "shipped" on my 40GB a LONG time ago, and Gratis never sent the damned thing. Only after all my repeated inquiries, and 4 or 5 emails over a month did they say it was a mistake, and said they're sending it out.

Then they sent the 20GB....

Tons of people got 40GBs, before, during and [if9819fba29]after[/if9819fba29] mine went "shipped".

I think you can see why I'd be pissed if they send me a 60GB....

not blaming apple on what i am getting, just that i think when purchasing an item for 450 bux why not include the dang dock atleast, something, not just go from a total package 40 gig to then a bare essential package. That does suck a lil more for you but we're both still getting a 60 when anticipating the 40.

I dont see why you guys are mad....you can just buy the damn accessories you need, but you cant buy an extra 20gig on your ipod! Call me crazy but I hope mine is 60gb when I get it.

Also....the accessories arent even worth it...Dont you get a carrying case that you cant use the clickwheel from? Dont you get an AC adapter and USB cable anyway? Who really needs the dock?

Oh yeah, I'm with you on that as well.

They really oughta throw in the remote too.

are you fucking insane? you're getting a gadget that's $100+ more and u're bitching about it?? dont make me slap you.. ah ah, there u are, <$lili SLAP!! %#$%#>>

A. I don't have the cash to buy up the accessories that come with the iPod I ordered, and specifically got refs for.

That's right, I wouldn't have done fip if not for the extras. (Which include av cables besides the dock)

B. I already have the 20GB, and barely filled half of that, so the extra 20GB is moot to me.

Why don't you add up what all those extras cost, and slap yourself around for a bit...

Who the heck has 60 gigs of music? I dont think too many people would even with pictures, I would be happy and use all of the accessories with the 40, I'll be most likely trading for the 30 and buying all the stuff i would have liked to get in the first place. To each his own but i think a dock is a pretty nice way to display and hold your ipod on your desk

uhh, I have 300GB of music (that's trance only), and some rock and hip hop, 10GB of ambient/chillout. i guess i'd need 10 ipods then huh? (see sig)

Who are you trying to impress with an Ipod? lol

300 gb of music? god damn, I'm barely breaking 20 right now.

Why are you all complaining about the 60??? If you want the 40, sell the 60 and get one off of ebay and an extra $150 in your pocket. Do you really need any of those accessories?? I've never used my dock, the crappy case and have no need for those AV cables and can always buy them later if needed. I really hope I get the 60.

exactly my point.

I'd take the extra 60GB, keep the dock from my 40GB regular iPod, and sell it on eBay) I hope i get the 60GB, otherwise I will have to return it to the apple store sigh...

wow, I hope you're a DJ. Maybe I should start ripping every CD I've ever bought and download every song i can. OCD much on the music collecting shock

On the dock note, its much easier to get home and toss the ipod on a dock and have it link up with new music and charge then deal with hooking up cables every time. I don't have one for my 20 gig and i think its a worthwhile accessory sorry its not cool enough for you roll

I was at the Apple store yesterday, and one of the sales representatives had a very interesting conversation. An older guy was there and asked a question whether he needs a dock for his iPod Mini. Instead of the usual "Oh yes, you definitely need a dock" crap all representatives are trying to do, he said "It is up to you. Although the dock is supposed to be for easier connection to your PC, it is in fact primarily for hooking up your iPod to a stereo system. It is much more useful for that, instead of connecting to a pc, which you can do just with the USB or Firewire cable."

Gratis is in a lose-lose situation with you people.

1/2 the people complain that they are missing out on the accessories, but in actuality, the retail value of it is about $370

if Gratis DID ship 40GBs, the other 1/2 of you would complain that you got 10 referrals and deserve something worth $500.

I'm in the 2nd boat, for all you 60GB complainers, just shut up, sell your 60GB and go buy your 40GB!

Why the hell should I?

Look, [i5a07411732]I'm[/i5a07411732] not being an alilihole and calling anyone else idiots for wanting the 60GB.

If you don't care about the accessories, and have 'em already, then [i5a07411732]you[/i5a07411732] should shut up. You know from the first post you'll probably get your damned 60GB now.

I, and others, have our reasons for wanting what we ordered.

Right now you can purchase the old 40GB from Buy.com for $359 (or $329 if you got the Buy.com email with $30 off $200 - http//www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90140781&loc=111&sp=1[]http//www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90140781&loc=111&sp=1). If you want the 40GB with all the accessories, go buy that and sell the 60GB that's coming as sealed, new in box on ebay - you should be able to get $400 or so for it...

You might have your reasons, but there would be plenty more people pissed for getting a $379 ipod for 10 referrals.

i DON'T have the accessories, and DO want them. I just don't understand why everyone suddenly WANTS a $379 Photo iPod that took 10 referrals?? Doesn't it make more sense to get an item that equals the value of your referrals?? I wouldn't want to waste 8 referrals on a 20GB ipod just for accessories. IF you want them THAT BAD, just sell it, buy a 40GB and spend your $90 savings on the accessories. Or, if it's that much of a hassel, just give it to me.

Just received the 60gig iPod as well. The thing I liked is that we're getting a USB AC adapter, and it is probably working for charging the iPod shuffle which is good. I'll probably buy the photo dock (if I have to), or at least the AV cable, but that's all I might need for it.

Well i missed their shipment, and since i Leave for Vegas Sunday i called to see if they could redeliver it tomorrow. He said they could so my ass isnt leaving the house until i see that fool pull up D

I got mine today, it was a 60GB!!!!

I got mine today too, 60 gb....I guess thats what everyones gonna be getting from now on.

Makes me wish I hadn't waited until they showed the 60GB on the website. I could have been with that group of STV, but wanted the 60GB instead of the 40GB and waited...

Does anyone know if they will be offering the 40g for less referrals?

Nah, considering what everyone's getting, the 40's are gone.

I was out of town for about 10 days until today, and when I got back to my office desk this morning, there was my package waiting for me from Gratis. It was shipped on 3/16.

I got a 40GB, maybe one of the last ones?!

I was kind of hoping for a 60GB, but oh well.

I'm super excited for my new toy! D

Apparently mine's going out now, so I have little doubt about what I'll get, and while I'm not as mad now, I still would have preferred all the goodies the 40GB had to offer.

If the 40GB had a remote too, I'd be climbing the walls...

tholek. you're hilarious. hahaha. i can't understand people who buy 20gig ipods when they fill up maybe 5 gigs. i think ipods were made for the people who listen to a lot of music, like me. i have about 45 gigs of music (no rap). so i mean it's worth it for me. but what about others? i think people waste their money on huge amounts of space.

i stilll am trying to complete mine but ill be happier to see a 60gb come to my door

Whats there to not understand? If someone gets a 5gb iPod with only 5gb of music then that would be stupid because there would be no more room left for more songs. With a 20gb, you know it'll last long cause you'll always have enough space for more songs. How do you not get that?

ur makin me drool, i love the photo ipod. lol im 2/10 so far )

lol so i was gone when dhl tried to deliver mine at 11 this morning.. i was sad... but then the guy came back like two hours ago ) so needless to say.,.. my photoipod is sitting here.. and about to hit the auction block twisted
