I've just figured out the iPod sales scam

Here's the scam.

I've got an 8gig iPod which fits a fair amount of my favourite stuff on it. But because it's all within my grasp, a fair chunk of my collection, I'm getting bored of the entire lot.. and it's only been a few months.

The scam: Buy iPod. Be entertained for a few months. Get bored of music. Buy more music. Buy new, bigger iPod. It's a never ending cycle. You eventually have an iPod which is the size of a naval submarine.

    My iPod is 30gig and it is currently holding about 1/3 of my music... it sucks. I need to keep taking stuff off to put new stuff on. I wish I could just have my whole library on there. Need to get a 160gb one clearly... :o

    the strapping a sub to you kind of reminds me of people lugging around HUGE discmans... even when i used to have a discman (back in the day :P) it was relatively slim and sleek.
    then again i am half japanese and its in my nature to have smaller electronics...

    Totally, especially when you consider the pronunciation.

    you cant blame apple if you want a bigger iPod. Just keep changing whats on there every week or two if you dont feel like buying a new one.

    does it have to be a naval submarine? is a regular submarine not good enough? can you even get another type of submarine?

    mine's is a U-boat
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I presume a 'naval' submarine is a normal submarine, just used in the navy. Because of course, when you buy an iPod Gigante, you'll also get a certificate allowing you an honorary membership in the Navy.. absolutely free.

    If you order within the next 10 minutes, your iPod Gigante will come pre-loaded with this gem.
