But it is not about when you register it, it is about when you buy.
I know you bought the iPod after the new version was available, but other people may have bought them before the update was released, should they get the update for free just because the delay the registration?
Did you get the iPod at a reduced price?
I have looked at the Currys web site and the 16GB is for sale for £229 while the Apple Store price is £269. So it looks to me that Currys are selling of the 16GB at a reduced price to compensate for it being an old model. That is what Apple also did and many other retailers. If you did get the iPod for less than the Apple prices below, then you got a reduction due to it being and old model, the cash you have left is therefore for you to spend on the update.
Apple Store Prices :-
8GB - £199
16GB - £269
32GB - £329
So how much did you pay?
It is interewsting that on the Currys website it says for the 8GB iPod - includes latest software update, and the price matches the Apple price.
For the 16GB it does not say it has the latest software and the iPod is £40 less than the Apple price, quite a bargain as it would only cost £12.99 to make it the same at the latest model, resulting in a £27 saving.
For the 32GB model it does not mention the software update, but the 32GB has never been without the new software anyway as it was released much later, the price also matches the Apple price.
My guess is that you have a 16GB model that you paid £229 for (saving £40) as it does not have the latest software. So pay the £12.99 and get the latest software, you will still be better off than the rest of us who paid £269 and the £12.99 just because we were early adopters!
