Remember when Airport Express came out and we all loved it since it could make our homes/apartments a little more like x amount's fancy pants wired-up audio mansion? Except, well, it cost too much. Which made us doubt if we really would use it that often. Especially since we all have iPods to kinda/sorta do the same thing and all. And in order to get the highest use out of it you basically need a laptop anyway.
Well, the good news is it still costs too much. But now it comes with 30 free tunes from iTMS. Knowing that by the end of the year I will easily burn through 30 track purchases on iTMS, this is basically $30 off for me. Just enough to push me over the edge. Especially with my laptop and the whole working at home near 1/2 time bit [which is when I listen to music most often] ...
Come on, people ... help me kill x amount. Just a little bit.
Just realized another benefit ... essentially makes the xbox wireless. And with that, I feel I have sufficiently rationalized this purchase. Maybe.
Very nice. Do whatever you need to do justify your love -- it's an Apple gadget.
If they'd let me pay a couple hundred bucks for a new one of these, I'd take 2000 free songs along with it.
