Ok to you guys that have an ipod or anybody that knows the following....
I have a bog standard PC running on Windows XP so do i need to buy anything additional for the ipod to work? Im looking at the new 15gb version from john lewis at the mo and am just gathering my funds together so i can buy it with the 10% off.
I have 2 USB ports at the back of my computer which was bought last summer and both are used by my mouse and broadband adaptor gadget thing.
Do i need to buy anything else that doesnt come with the iPod itself for it to function with my setup?
Mike.

I got my 30GB iPod (for ?360 with 10% off of course ) from them a few weeks ago and I think its bloody lovely!

Basically the url above is invalid because you have already used the gift certificate promo. When i tried to use it the page just looped with me not getting anywhere.
Iv tried the url

OR
You have USB2? Then a 30MB download from Apple, so broadband to obtain it preferbly.
OR
Only have standard USB? Help. It doesn't work with USB1.
Ideally though, a mac so you can have iTunes.

I do have USB2 on my PC according to the device manager, however as the machine has 6 USB ports, how can I tell which one is the USB2 one? I'm running XP btw...
Maybe I'll just get the Firewire card insteadLie with passion and be forever damned...

Failing that, go to http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/s...hreadid=201593. That's where I found about the offer in the first place, you have to register with that forum first though.

Not sure why its not working for you but if you enter xv733 as the coupon code that should work. I think its the same code for everyone.

Now i need to know if my computer is usb2 compatible or what firewire thingmajig i need to get for my computer.
Thanks CFS Dubois i really appreciate it as i now have ?30.60 discount at John Lewis.
Edit : Just noticed on the Apple UK site they do engravings which looked pretty cool when previewed. But you dont get ?30.60 discount with Apple

lol, glad I could save you some money. Now, if you had a Cahoot credit card that would be even better, since you get 7% cashback on all purchases from John Lewis with Cahoot!
I was gonna hold on till I got my Cahoot card but they were quickly running out of stock of the 30GB iPod and I only just managed to purchase the last one. I didn't want to risk it incase they never got the 30GB iPod back in stock.

the question that is worrying me is how the hell would i install that firewire 4 port jobby in to my computer as i dont think i have usb2 ports. It seems that i need to spend further money on making my computer compatible but correct me if im wrong and save me some money....
Ok so thats the iPod sorted and paid for but next is compatibility worries.
