It still sucks that I have to pay money becuase my iPod can't even last 2 years, but fact is it is out of warranty and if i didn't do this, i would have to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new player. This thing has been going on for a while, and from what i have seen no one has really thought to do this yet. The only thing is your thing can't be physically damaged, if your LED is cracked or it is obvious it was dropped alot they won't do it.

You should buy one and break it just to take advantage of the system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
But you have to buy an Ipod to begin with. Figure out how to get an ipod for $65 without already owning one and then +1 rep for you:up2somet:
That makes no sense. You would just be out $65.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

I think it is a good move on their part. It probably doesn;t cost them $65 to make them. So they replace yours and have a reputation for amazing customer service.

not really, if they wanted a good reputation it would help to make products that don't cost 300-400 bucks and completely stop functioning after a year and a half. What this policy does is make them not look like complete scumbags at least because you aren't out the entire amount.

what if you have a older model i pod
ones that they dont make any more what would they send you then?
for example i got [ currently being sent in the mail.] a 3 rd gen 15 gig ipod

Dude, that is the point! People with the 5th gens don't have to worry about this thing becuase their ipods are still under warranty. This program is SOLEY for people with out of warranty ipods. I personally have a 4th gen that i got over 2 years ago, and they are just gonna give me a replacement 4th gen. They apparantly have a collection of all older gen ipods that they keep for this purpose.
Actually, there was a mix up in mine and they thought mine was lost in the mail, so they said if they can't find it they will just send me a replacement anyway.

yeah they would. As long as the thing is out of warranty (logically no one is gonna sell a broken ipod that is still in warranty becuase they can just get it replaced for free anyway). So since any broken one you buy from Ebay will be out of warranty, whatever gen it is they will replace with the same. 4th gen = 4th gen replacement. 5th gen = 5th gen replacement

I was worried that they were gonna charge me more to replace since my thing had other serious problems not related at all to the battery (broken clickwheel, didn't work at all). But luckily they didn't charge me any more, just kept my original money and changed it from a repair claim to replacement.
