Q: iPod 128gb £50 price increase???...are you serious Apple???

Hi all,

i have a big birthday later this year.....hoping for a 128gb iPod touch as a present so had my eye on it this year.

Was expensive at £329....then suddenly last week...its up to £379!!!

Apple, a 15% increase overnight?? Really??

How do you explain this??

Greed is my first thought....

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Call it whatever you want, reality does not change because of that.

In the US, the price for 128GB is still $399. Same as launch day.

Exchange rates play games with prices around the world.

I understand that, but other products haven't gone up at all.....the 128gb ipod touch increase is completely disproportionate to any other increases....or the change in exchange rates!

Maybe I'm just a tight Scotsman though.....!

Aye. Or do you mean frugal?

It has been said that copper wire was invented by 2 Scots fighting over a penny.
