That's so bizarre! Is it totally bricked, and would they replace it?

this is going to be a huge blow against Microsoft, seriously. I can just imagine the mac commercials now.

EDIT: nvm, msft went up .08 pts.

since this appears to be a date issue, i wonder if it will magically fix itself at 12:00am tomorrow morning?

still, this is pretty shitty and brings up the fear that anyone can just put dumb shit like this in their firmware.  if i was some jerk programmer who hated my boss i could slip in a screen that brings up gay porn on april 1st and nobody would be the wiser.

I still stand by my decision to spend £15 on an mp3 player and $100 on headphones.

I have the touch. It's only the 8GB one, but it was on sale for like $200. I enjoy it.

My MP3 was bought from amazon UK whilst my headphones were only available on the US amazon. They were worth getting them shipped over though, very sturdy and the sound is like nothing I have heard on any other set I have owned.

I am incredibly british.

EDIT: my bad double post wasn't thinking

I have 60gb of music but in all honesty I listen to maybe 3 albums and I never watch movies or whatever random shit they add to mp3 players to drive up the cost.  I liked the Zune because it had a radio tuner (don't know if the touch has that) but I'll probably end up buying the 8gb model simply because 10,000+ songs is ridiculous and I can't imagine anyone actually listening to any of it!

EDIT: Eh... 8gb ipod touch 2nd generation is 229$ and 16gb 1st generation is 219$...

2nd generation has external speakers and you have to download some sort of update to play games on 1st generation...

...do I really need external speakers?  Part of me wants to say yes but I'm pretty sure I have more than 8gb worth of music I actively listen to.

Of course, I could just swap out music depending on my mood but I'm such a lazy bastard that I hate going to my computer every time I want to listen to something different...

...

OH MY GOD CHOICES
