Apple Japan 'Lucky Bags'
Apple's Japanese online store has once again launched a "Lucky Bag" deal to coincide with the holidays. From now until December 25th, visitors to the site will be able to enter to buy one of 200 bags, 10 going up each day, for 35,000 yen after tax; the key is that shoppers will never know exactly what is in the bags until January 2nd, when they finally ship. Apple will say however that the bags should contain handpicked assortments of iPod accessories, along with other music items.
sweet!

I think that is a very cool idea.

For 35,000 yen (about US $315), I would hope for more than "handpicked assortments of iPod accessories, along with other music items".
For that much money, I would hope the bags would at least have one of the cheaper iPods as well.

35000 yen is only $313 (US$ that is)

I said "about US $315", not "exactly US $315". I'm barely half-a-percent off, and you felt it necessary to correct me?
Regardless - even for the bargain price of three hundred and THIRTEEN dollars, I would expect more than just a few accessories and "music items".
Does anyone know what's come in these "lucky bags" in previous years?
