Apple have released an updated U2 edition of the iPod Video

The new iPod U2 Special Edition. As distinctive as the band it salutes. Red Click Wheel. Black metal back engraved with the band?s signatures. 30GB (1) of storage with room for 7,500 songs, up to 25,000 photos and up to 75 hours of video for just ?239 (UK) / ?359 (Ireland) including VAT.

Original of The Species

Like no other, iPod U2 Special Edition stands out. Jet black, it bears a prominent red Apple Click Wheel, a full-colour display and, on the flip side, the autographs of each U2 band member on striking black metal. Thanks to this unique partnership between U2 and Apple, U2 fans can finally find what they?re looking for.

Even Better Than the Real Thing

The iPod U2 Special Edition also comes with an exclusive iTunes Music Store coupon you can redeem for a 30-minute video of music videos and band interviews (2). Think of it as your virtual backstage pass.

U2 remains my favorite band despite all this marketing bs and new crappy albums by them because of their older albums like Under A Blood Red Sky and and The Joshua Tree.

I wouldn't buy any product endorsed by any band though. How does that enhance my music experience? Especially since I have all their older (better) albums, it doesn't..

That's all, Wolvereen.

I don't about apple but I didn't see any U2 iPod's selling like mad so why are they wasting their time with this crap? I am sure they would make more money if they chose Pink Floyd, AC/DC, or any of the more prominent bands. (Not saying I like those bands but just suggesting.)

There isnt much point to this ipod cos if u wanna a black ipod u get the video or nano in black so only die hard u2 fans and people who like red click wheels will buy this,which isnt a lot of people.

Do you have any idea how many U2 fans there are?

I like the Black/Red design, as it's different than any other iPod out there. If this was a nano, I'd buy it today.

Love iPod. Love U2. Bono's Great. RED Product based iPod would have been nice too ..

Just makes me think, should I buy my video iPod now or should wait till august ?

Why would apple release an iPod at this time, when a new iPod would be appropriate in three months time ?

Cheers .. K

I think they're ugly :blink:

My friend has the older 20 gig U2 ver Ipod.

Iono, i think he honestly thinks it's worth more becuase of the mass produced machine engraved copy of the band member's signatures on the back.

Although it is 'limited' mass produced supply. lol

The only reason i would have got one is because they were black, but with the release of the black nano/video...No real point to get one for me atleast. Not a massive fan of U2 anyway, maybe if Apple started doing this with other artists i might jump onboard.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
