Ok, Arkan is at a crossroad and needs a lil' advice. Been wanting to get an iPod for sometime but now i'm thinking of that PSP instead. What i want to know is, pros and cons of each. Basically, what i'm looking for is something i can store music on and listen to while traveling. I know thats the main purpose of the iPod but i'm thinking gaming/watching movies/storing pics/wireless internet connection = more bang for the buck.

How much memory can you use to store music ?

I think for the psp you can buy memory sticks and can use it for whatever you want. Don't think theres any kind of limitation that only lets you use says 512mb for music with the other 512mb being used for game saves or profiles\vids etc.

yep, gerv said it. You can get different size cards for the PSP. My brother has the 1gig stick and it's pretty damn nice. He has Batman Begins on it right now and that takes up about 600megs which leaves alot of space for other things.

I'd rather get a PSP over an Ipod actually. I'm not sure what the conditions are when you're listening to music (ie jogging, car, bus, sitting at the office, etc). If you will use it for those situations, the psp probably won't be your best choice of media players.

Yeah with the PSP you can get a few memory stuck duos, have one for game saves and one for movies/media etc..

although they now have the video iPod...

Well, i'm not 15 anymore and i get laid on a daily basis so that rules out my needing p0rn. I just want something i could store a shit load of songs on and use a docking station for amplified sound. I like the multiple uses of the PSP vs the iPod. Can anyone that actually has a PSP respond ?

if you want something for music get an Ipod. huge built in storage and its MADE to play music.

The psp has no docking stations to hook up to stereos and shit that I know of.

Aye, I've got both an Ipod and PSP. I don't have a big enough memory stick for the PSP so it's kinda worthless at the moment. If you get one, before you do anything you'll have to dish out a bit of cash for extra memory (when you just spent a shitload on the PSP itself). Wireless internet is kind of a joke, it's novelty wears off quick. Putting on emulators and playing old school Mario where ever you go is a +. Battery life isn't that great... and that's about it. I haven't tried movies yet since they won't fit on my 32mb included card. If I had to buy it I wouldn't have. Ipod is just too good for music, and that's all ya need imo.

id get the ipod. the psp is nice but too much of a hassle. plus it will end up costing alot more than an ipod. (games, movies, memory cards)

[Arkan]

Thnx guys, i'm now leaning towards the iPod. I already have a comp, note book, portable DVD player, and game consoles. I guess all the extra shit with the PSP isn't necessary for what i really want it for.

Ok, next question. Where did you guys get your iPods? I'd like a 20 - 30 Gig one.

[Himmler]

30 Gig Video ipod. black. make sure u get the warrenty.

yep the new iPods come in 30 and 60 gig and they play videos by default.

[Nyck]

All my music I have on my computer = 2 gigs

[Arkan]

Warrentee eh? These fuckers are prone to breakage ?
