[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 83270, member: 9169"] I would go the cheapest route. An extended warranty (whether it's AppleCare or Best Buy's "replacement" plan) is not worth it for an iPod, IMHO. If it fails, it will most likely fail in the first year while it's still under warranty. Also be aware that Best Buy's program does not replace the unit-- they give you a depreciated credit towards what they have in stock at the time you make your claim-- it's definitely not like AppleCare. Plus it's a serious hassle to make a claim. I have a 3rd generation 15 GB iPod and the battery is fine after daily use for over a year. As for 20 GB vs. 40 GB-- that's your call. If you think your music collection will grow exponentially or you plan on using the iPod as an external drive to move files around, then definitely get the 40. Otherwise, it sounds to me that the 20 will be fine. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
