Released with much fanfare in October 2004, the iPod (U2 Special Edition) was identical to the iPod (Click Wheel) from a hardware standpoint. It came with a 20 GB hard drive, and was housed in a special black case, with the signatures of the members of U2 laser-engraved on the back. It cost $349, $50 more than the 20 GB iPod (Click Wheel), but included a $50 towards the purchase of the U2 Digital Box-set, which was available exclusively from the iTunes Music Store.
