I think it's more ridiculous that Apple is limiting setting up new free accounts to 2010 iDevices only. Why on earth should I have to go out and buy a new expensive piece of technology to do something my phone can already do? While I've been happy with the 3GS, this reminds me of how 3G owners got screwed with the 4.0 update that basically only added folders and slowed down their phones as to become borderline unusable. Not like this is going to stop me from trying to use another iDevice to setup a free account, but it is a silly policy.
convert dvd to wmv google 'best buy horror stories' and I think you can see it is their way of conducting business. I would never buy anything from them, have heard horror stores from friends on trying to return items and being treated like criminals.
