Even your best buddy Billy G' hooked me up with a rebate on my Xbox 360 repairs. Your not going to let Microsoft show you what true company loyalty is are you. I have faith you will restore my trust in Apple..."

You feel used?! Are you f**king kidding me? Apple has done nothing wrong. You paid extra to be the first, the kid with the newest toy on the block. Deal with it. Microsoft offered warranty repair on your Xbox because it was faulty. Your comparison is quite poor. Its high time that "devotees" of the Apple religion begin to realize that Apple is a corporation. No more, no less. They don't care about you. They want to make a profit, and as large a profit as possible. Steve Jobs created a perfect scenario for his cult to buy into. $600 for 2 months to maximize profit and recuperate R&D costs and then the $400 roll-out to increase market share. Welcome to the true consumer market. Caveat Emptor.

This is totally unacceptable. We're their most loyal brand advocates. Why give the shaft to the one million people who have been giving demos to friends for the last 2 months?

It could be worst, at least you weren't the schmuck who paid 10K for a PS3 on eBay. You can at least be happy for everyone else who has yet to get an iPhone.
