replacement 3gapple ipods under warranty

Well if this happened, there's always the chance that they'd realise you were a dishonest toe-rag who was trying to rip them off, that your iPod hadn't 'broken' (or would guess that you had broken it) and they would therefore judge that you'd voided your warranty.

But even if you 'fooled' them, they'd send a 30 GB pod as a replacement. They still keep 5 GB pods and even scrollwheel 10 GB pods for warranty replacements.
