Did the same thing. Except I got all horny for the bass models and the metal pack and dropped a hundo without realizing I couldn't update yet. It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.
Just spent a 100 bucks on all the models because I got an email saying they were available for my pod with v2.6. But apparently, v2.6 Isn't available yet for hd500 non X version? What gives? Any advice would be appreciated.
