Cheap iPod Touch 8GB

    I want to get an iPod Touch 8GB for a present and I was wondering where is the cheapest bricks & mortar place where I could pick one up.

    I checked in HMV during my lunch break and they have them for €279.99 but when I checked the HMV site they have them for £187.99 (approx €247).

    Anywhere cheaper then €279.99 in Dublin?

    Thanks.

    It's a flat price set by Apple. www.apple.ie/store

    You might save a few quid in some smaller retailers or online

    Well the birthday is early next week so I don't have time to buy online. I'll have alook around the city centre during the weekend and see what I can come up with. As far as I am aware of most electrical shops do them, would I be right? (ie: Curry's, Dixon's, 3G, etc).

    i dunno but if i was to take a guess at it, i'd say it's down to making you feel like the device/software is personalised for you (i).

    Sorry for irritating you :rolleyes:

    I'm not into Apple products at all and I wouldn't ever dream of buying one if it wasn't for someone else.

    In the same boat, birthday is on Tuesday. Looking for the cheapest one myself, i do not have time to buy online either!

    They are 261 in 3G stores.

    Yeah I was in the 3G store earlier and seen them for €261. Apparently they are €259 in Power City, I might nip in over the weekend and pick one up there.

    Anyone come across anything cheaper? What about ebay? can they be imported from the States, cheap dollar etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭ian_m


    Don't know anyone flying to the US. Ill keep looking...

    Amazon.co.uk works out at €226 (Ex Del). If you order that today, I'd be shocked if you didn't have it by tuesday. I've bought from Amazon.com and had it in that kind of time.

    I didn't think Amazon would ship to Ireland because of the recycling charge thingy ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    I dont think Amazon do ship here. Also, I agree with Cremo, please stop calling it iTouch. It sounds so cheesey.

    the amount of times i've found exactly what i'm lookin for on amazon, then to be told that they dont ship for a variety of reasons, well that jus does it for me! ebay.com, de US version is the place to go.

    I'm sure they would if they could. Its a loss of revenue for them. I ordered a 16gig touch on ebay.
