Apple cuts iPod prices
Apple has cut the prices of the fifth-generation iPod sold in Canada. The 30GB iPod video, which was CAD$379, is now $30 less at $349, while the 60GB iPod video model is now $459, a $40 cut from the original $499 price tag. The newly updated special edition U2 iPod, also based on the fifth-generation design, sells for $379. According to iLounge, the price drop is an apparent response to changes in international currency exchange rates. The report notes that the iPod nano and iPod shuffle pricing remain unchanged.











Price Protection?

I just bought my 5G iPod at the Apple Store opening less than a month ago. Though I'm doubting there is, does anyone know if Apple offers price protection for a case like this?

"Prices
The Apple Store endeavours to offer you competitive prices on current Apple products and selected clearance products. Your total payment due includes the price of the product (on the day of shipping) plus any applicable sales tax and expedited shipping charges. Apple reserves the right to change prices for products displayed at the Apple Store at any time.
Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 10 days of shipment, you may contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-MY-APPLE to request a credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the credit you must notify Apple within 14 days of shipment. In the event a credit is given to you, the same credit card that you used to make your purchase will be credited."

adjusment for dollar

The Canadian dollar is high right now. They became cheaper because Apple Canada adjusts prices whenever there is a change to the product line. In this case, it was the U2 iPod that triggered the adjustment.
