Ipod 60 gig

So after years of resisting I got an Ipod 60GIG IN A very WEAK MOMENT.
Good things - for an extra 25 quid I got a cassette connection so I can play my music in the car. Cool and sounds good - random playing of currently 2000 tracks,
Loaded up photos ok - good display and random showing is great.
Ah, but then videos.
Bummer.
Tried to get Quicktime pro v7. Seems its a USA only Apple add on so can't entre a UK post code.
Not mentioned when I paid 299 quid for the 60gig version. Bastards.
Went to CNET.com downloaded AVS Video format convertor - 29 dollars same as Quicktime v7 pro and works on many more file formats. Cool.
All those great web Nurburgring videos load up perfectly, as do videos from my digital cameras.
So why dont Apple let you do this - because they want your dosh thats why. So they only let you download from their pay for video site. Except that doesn't apply to the UK yet!!!! What a load of bollocks!!!
They dont tell you that WHEN THEY SAY YOU CAN BUY A VIDEO IPOD!!!
