Well for awhile I had a 2GB Sansa e250. It was awsome. Sleek, had radio, voice recorder, a recorder that records radio songs, video, pics. I was in heaven, but I broke it when it froze on me the second time for the same reason. So now I dont have a MP3 player and I loath using CD players.

Anyway, Walmart sells iPod, for cheaper than the normal price and I am planning on buying one this weekend, but I was wondering if I should get it from Walmart. I mean when I think of Walmart, I think of cheap things that like to break. So what goes through my mind is that it will be a glitchier more cheaper made version of the normal iPod. Hmmmm, should I buy it? Has anyone ever boughten their iPod from the store?

I plan to buy the new iPod Nano in green cause I love green so much.
 
My sansa was made by sandisk not apple. this will be my first ipod actually.
 
Hey BlackWolf...

Your worries are not unfounded, however. The iPod will be covered under the Apple manufacturing warranty... which, unless you purchase a separate extended warranty through a third party, is about all you'll get if you purchase the iPod for any other store.

Bottom line... check the package... if it's still factory sealed, then get it. Apple made it... walmart's only selling it.
 
Get an XM radio to go. I can wear it in Atlanta and never lose the signal. I listen to it in my car. I can listen to it via the internet at work. At home, I put it on the charge station and it broadcasts to 6 FM radios in my house. I can listen to it via the internet at work. I have over 12,000 mp3s that I no longer listen to.
 
You might look into going on the apple site and if you're in school, or with a large corporation, they have a separate area of the site dedicated to those groups and usually sell them for cheaper than you can get anywhere.
 
Personally, I think I just go to apple shop and get one...because I feel more like "I just bought an ipod" than walmart

god i know. it wont feel like i actually got a iPod cause i got it from walmart. I'd feel like i got a iPod if i bought it from Target.

just goes to show how much more cleaning up of their image they have to do. Although the most gorgeous guy ever walked out of their today and my jaw literally dropped when i saw him. I was like "shouldnt you be in abercrombie and fitch or something?"
 
I was totally against iPods until I received one as a gift. Now I love them. Not because they're cool or the "it" thing to have, but the way your music keeps organized, album art is displayed, and moving songs to and from the iPod is super easy.

Just don't buy at Walmart. They are ruining this county. A 30 GB Video iPod is $250 at Walmart and $265 at Amazon. Do you really need the savings?

Why are you worrying about the quality of the iPod since the main risk of it breaking is from your own temper, not the workmanship of the device?
 
BlackWolf had a 2GB Sansa e250, that froze twice not an iPod. I would agree with others, saving about $15.00 at Walmart only feeds Walmart. They are bad, bad bad, as a company and to their employees. I will give them some credit for supporting gay rights in the work place and donating money to gay organizations, BUT a religious group was going to boycott teh stores on black friday and Walmart caved in on supporting gay rights....so get you iPod elsewhere! ANYWHERE BUT WALMART!
 
Check Amazon first. Free shipping, no sales tax, and a better price than anywhere else, plus, this weekend you get a free FM transmitter for your car...

I bought one on Thanksgiving...:D
 
Well I would buy on Amazon, but I buy nothing online. Really bad experience there. And well, I have something else I need to buy, which makes buying the 2GB at regular price impossible, and I dont think I can last with my messed up CD player another week. So yes, while Walmart is a evil big corporation, I dont care. I havent gotten anything at Walmart in years. I converted to Target. Hell I hadn't stepped in a Walmart in forever.

Now as for me breaking my Sansa e250. Before the freezing thing, it was already giving me problems. After its system refresh failed, it erased all my music which happened to me before with a different super cheap MP3 player that used a battery (it was a gift). After that I tried to re-upload my music, but it refused to sync properly with Windows Media Player(and it wasn't Microsofts fault so dont go there). So I had to deal with stuffing whatever music I could get on their through that problem. Then it froze on me the first time because I pushed the record button which is located on the side of the Sansa. Its to make recording a radio song you are currently listening to on it much easier. I was fine with that. No big problem, its frozen before. What computer device doesn't freeze every once in awhile (i'm sure some of you will say a Apple computer). Then the next day, I'm going about my business, adjusting my backpack and taking out my Sansa to turn it off no less, and I accidentaly pushed it again. I waited a little while first before stopping the record and it froze again. I was already having a bad morning, so there ya go. It went square to the ground. I guess I could have controlled my temper, but it would have happened eventually with the fucked up syncing to Windows Media Player. I hope with a iPod, I wont have to worry about the syncing, seeing how it has a special program, iTunes, with which to use. I'm sure it will freeze on me, can't help that, but I don't need those other little problems on top of it. And at least I can take it to the Apple store to get fixed. I doubt anyone at Best Buy could have really helped me.

EDIT:/ Funny to, because I am doing an entire marketing campaign on the Sansa e250 MP3 player made by Sandisk. Its for my Marketing class. It really was a good MP3 player. I was going to buy a new one, but then I saw the iPod for cheaper at Walmart, and I always wanted a iPod(Apple knows how to market a product) so yeah I am going to buy it. I kind of miss it really.
 
Totally understandable, the breaking thing.

If my computer were smaller, I'm sure it would be only so much trash on the ground by now. In fact, my wireless modem is in mortal danger of it this morning. ](*,)
 
The I-Pod I paid $300 for at Best Buy one year ago I've seen at Wal-Mart for $250. But, of course, it may be cheaper now at Best Buy too!
