So, the iPod I got my gf for Christmas is starting to act up. No problem, it's under warranty, right?

Well, sort of. Apparently since it has been over 6 months since purchase I have to pay $40 for shipping. So, the warranty doesn't cover getting it fixed because Calgary isn't big enough to have a Apple repair depot? WDF?

Anybody have any experience with this? Am I missing something- they showed where I could take it in to be fixed in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, but not here.

The other thing I saw was it appears I can pay $70 to extend the warranty to 2 years and that also seems to provide free shipping. Is that a better option?

In case you are wondering, it is a 16GB iPod Touch, so it's not like it would just be $100 to buy a new one.

Thanks guys!
