silvrwrx21 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 after reading all the problems that everyone has been having with the d3 and the new ipod classics i have been looking on ebay for a 5th gen. ipod as my current ipod cannot store videos. does the 5th gen. ipod have to be on a certain firmware like the ipod classics? or does the 5th gen. ipod work just fine on any firmware? thanks.

HiFiSi Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Any of the 5 or 5.5 gen ipods will work fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

knight20 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 You have to jump on it if you find one there though. The more times I check, the more times I see that they don't have any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EndoNav1 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I picked up an extra 80g ipod 5th Gen as soon as I heard the reports about the Classics & D3. Found it new at Guitar Center's online store of all places for $229.00 with free shipping. Not as cheap as a refurb though. **edit: Looks like they're still stocking them... http://www.guitarcenter.com/Apple-iPod- ... 1169379.gc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
