[quote name='Wolfpup']After the last iPod updates and price cuts Apple removed the student discount on them. They're cheaper then they were with the student discount prior to the last update though.[/QUOTE]
iPod nano prices have stayed exactly where they used to be: $150 for low end, $200 for middle-tier, and $250 for high end. The iPod itself didn't see a lower price for the lowest end model until this year - 5 years after its debut. Maybe the price per gigabyte has dropped, but Apple avoids changing its pricing tiers at all costs. After all, it helps them keep their 40% or so margins.
Student discounts would have still been nice, but they're now reserved for computer hardware exclusively, to my knowledge.

i dont know where you guys go to school, but if your school has a computer store (not a bookstore that sells computers in it, but a separate computer store), you should try to go in and look at the prices. i find that its actually cheaper than it says online. this has worked for me at my school, UCRiverside.

Depends on your perspective I guess. The 2GB model used to cost $200, or maybe $180ish after discount, and the new improved 2GB model was $150 for everyone. Same type of deal for my 30GB 5.5G iPod I bought.
I don't have a real computer store at my school, unfortunately. That would be awesome if I could get even deeper discounts on Apple's hardware

The student discount used to be great then people start abusing it. So they've cut it down a lot. It used to be at least $100 on all computers.
one thing they did do is get rid of the ipod discount. I think due to the resellers abusing it. A new 30 gig ipod cost a retail store $238-$244 depending on how much they buy. Then they rely on accessories to make money on the ipod sell.
