Weekly Price Guide
This week we bid adieu to the 3rd-generation iPod since there's absolutely no reason to buy into its awful battery life over a snazzier and longer-lasting 4th-generation iPod.
Also, like last week, Office Depot still has a $25 off $250 coupon (available until 8/30). Just use coupon code LST854 at checkout.

While I agree on the reason to NOT buy a third-generation iPod, I don't agree on the exclusion of the third-generation from the price list. Since Apple has released the fourth-generation iPod third-generation pods have been going down in price steadily, and to exlude them from the list would be doing a disservice to those who may have been waiting to buy one at the right time (this probably being one of those times). So, although you and I may not like the third-gen and may think it "unworthy", others may not, and I do hope that you reconsider your decision.
