Harry Potter iPod released...

So apple just released the new collectors edition iPod- the Harry Potter Edition. This iPod is hardly different than the existing iPods, the only difference is on the back is an etched logo of the Hogwarts Crest, a symbol of the school of magic that Harry Potter attends. The Hogwarts Crest was originally drawn by author J.K. Rowling herself and illustrates the four houses that make up the school, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The Latin at the bottom of the crest translates to "never tickle a sleeping dragon." Included is the audiobook files of the entire Harry Potter book series. My take on this- unless you are a Harry Potter fanatic, this is just stupid to buy one of these. Everyone ends up buying a case (to protect it) that goes over your iPod, so what’s the point?
