8GB iPod touch - on Apple site is €219.00

If you buy from Amazon, the price is £158.90 - but the catch is you need a UK address (or northern ireland) for delivery.

I'm fairly sure those ipod touch's are the older generation ones. Nothing major different but good to be aware of anyway. A good price all the same. The only place you'll get the new model anyway is direct from apple.

They're the new one - edit. you are correct regarding Kane's post but not slumped. There are plenty of shops that sell the new ones though.

Where? What shops besides online?

Was looking for the 32GB version. Sony store Apple Store wants €369 (free shipping). Pixmania want €381.90 including shipping :eek:(used to buy a bit of stuff from them, but they have become so expensive lately)
I don't need it for a month, so I should be able to get a better deal.

Why would the Sony Store be selling Apple products?

HMV, Golden Discs etc., the usual suspects really, ton of small shops selling them as well here in Cork.

ooops sorry... typo (will edit).
I meant Irish Apple Store.
So how much in HMV and GDs for the 2-Gen 32GB?

I checked the price with HMV. It is €370 and in stock.
Currys is €369, but not in stock.
There seems to be a trend here.

'Rip Off Ireland' & 'Price Fixing' are terms that come to mind.

€315.50 from Amazon (but they do not deliver to Ireland). For the difference I could get three top Blu-ray titles included.

This has less to do with price fixing by our shops and more to do with Apple's pricing policy. Apple are very strict regarding pricing policy and don't allow retailors any room to undercut. Although, when you compare prices to what they offer in the US you'll see the huge mark-up over here.

maninblack

can you get 10% off iPod in HMV with student discount does anyone know?

or do they not offer it on electrical goods like them?

Indeed Oafley. So Apple are controlling the 'Price Fixing'.
Thats why I tend to buy most of my electrical goods outside Ireland.
