psp vs. ipod

[JSTA]

I was wondering what ya'll think is a better buy. My parents will buy me one or the other for my gradutation and it's a hard decision. I'm getting it mainly for the music, but having games on the psp will be nice. How many songs can you fit on the umd that the psp comes with? Both cost the same. I'd definately grab Untold Legends for psp if I got it. So it'd end up being 249.99 for the ipod or 300.00 for the psp.

PSP MAN DEFINETLY

[JSTA]

Do you know how many songs the thing holds stock? lol This is basically my biggest concern. I don't wanan buy a psp and have the damn thing hold like, 40 songs. Then I'll end up having to go out and buying anew UMD.

JS, get a pod man. Psp's are cool for gaming and what not, but if you're making a music invesment...go pod. I've had multiple ipods over the years and have thousands of songs on them. I <3 ipods. : )

NO DONT KNOW NOT EVEN ON SALE IN MY COUNTRY YET BUT MY MATE GOT ONE IMPORTED

[JSTA]

Yea, I walked into Gamestop today and felt this kind of empty feeling I get right before I make a purschase that big. I hate that lol. But I am starting to lean towards the ipod. I'll have to think about it some more though. If any of ya'll have both then could you give your two cents?

[Etrain]

I've owned ipods for years now, like I previously said and I've played with the psp's as well. JS, ipod man...do the right thing. Psp's are dank for sure, but not enough games yet IMO for a purchase and doesn't have even close to a music storing capacity as the pod.

[JSTA]

Yeah, the one I can get for 250 is the 60gb one that holds 10,000 songs (which I'm sure you're aware of lol) as opposed to a 32mb UMD that comes with the PSP (although you can compress the files which ends up being like, 400 minutes as I've been told). Plus if I get the ipod I can get the thing tonight and be listenin to it in school tomorrow. Hmmmmmmmm, I think I'm gonna go with the pod. Still tough though ya know, lol.

[Etrain]

Man, you know how many sticks it would take to equal the same capacity as the ipods hd? Yes man, you'll be doing yourself a favor choosing the pod : ).

[JSTA]

^^^this is true. Plus the MAIN purpose of the psp would be music for me. I plan on having one so I can cruise next year going from class to class listening to music. This is like mercedes v. bmw, it's killin me.

Edit from above: I meant a 6.0 not a 60g. 60g.......I wish.

[Etrain]

Yeah, my 30 gig pods are filled up. I pack quite a few songs : ). JSTA- dude, you think you could play in a cal match on thursday if hektik can't make it? As a substitute. It'll be around 8 o clock pacific.

[JSTA]

Yeah, I can play. Just lemme know on AIM or something if he can't make it. I'm definately down though.

[Etrain]

Will do man, what's your aim?

I have never owned either of them or really actually got to play with either of them. But I think the psp's are cool they have integrated wifi so you can browse the internet at wireless access points and such. ipods are pretty kewl too, but the fact that I would have to use iTunes to put the songs on it would drive me insane. It's really a hard choice pick which ever one you think you would get the most use out of.

id like a ipod but i dont have a fuckin macintosh. fuck! ill just get a mp3..

[SumSkater540]

dude go with the ipod...60 gig vs 1 gig max capacity if u buy another sick for the psp. You can compress files and stuff but remember that decreases quality as well....the psps main purpose is gaming, it was also designed for music but its not its main purpose...go with the pod man, youll be happy with your decision.

[Omun]

id like a ipod but i dont have a fuckin macintosh. fuck! ill just get a mp3.. IPods work with windows xp and 2000. You still need to use iTunes which is something I don't like because there is no iTunes for Linux.

[Hektik]

I say PSP alll the way. Not only musick, games but also movies. I want a psp :(

[JSTA]

Welp, I picked up the Ipod earlier from BestBuy :) I based my decision on the fact that I'm mainly interested in music. So, that was an easy choice. I was originally gonna get the 6gb mini ipod for 250 but decided on the 20gb for 300. I mean, over triple the space for 50 more, pretty easy choice. I'm definately happy with my decision. I'll be gettin a psp later on down the road though when they come down in price. Thanks for all the input guys, its well appreciated :).

[anycraic]

good choice

You don't need a mac to run your iPod. The new version of iTunes runs just as well on a Windows PC.

Oh, and good choice on the iPod. If your getting the thing mainly for music, the iPod is much much much much better :D

[MrBojangles]

ipods would definitley be lots cooler then a PSP

[rajking86]

I have had an iPod since March `04, it's definately the better choice.
