PSP or Ipod

What proof do you have that the majority of iPods die quickly?

Well, most of the guys I have talked to that own Ipods are satisfied, but lack a piece of truly reliable equipment.

I KNOW A GUY AND AT COLLEGE HE PLUGGED HIS IPOD INTO ONE OF THE COMPUTERS AND BOTH THE COMPUTER AND HIS IPOD CRASHED, I'LL NEVER EVER GET ONE.

Lol, I know somebody who wouldn't even consider getting a similar phone to mine when he asked me for suggestions, because his mum's sister or something had a motorola phone once and the battery went funny. :roll:

Unless it's a proven ipod-wide problem (like the nano's scratchability) I'd pretty much ignore it.

Generally, you can find an alternative player of comparable or larger size for less. I'm sure you could find a 60GB ipod cheaper than a 80GB toshibawhatever if you look at a cheap store for the ipod and an expensive store (lol, shopping.com) for the toshiba.

The main reason I dislike ipods is I can't just plug it in and drag files across like a mass storage device like I can with my current phone or mp3 player. Also it sorts everything by ID3 tags, not folders / filenames. (maybe they changed it, idk)

But if you flash your ipod with a different 3rd party firmware (say, Rockbox) then it's alot better, and you can play vorbis / flac etc. But doing that kinda defeats the point of buying an ipod in the first place.

thanks for the feedback

It'd be worth it in the long run. As I said earlier, iPods have more support and features, like the 3rd party firmware you mentioned. Plus, they kill any other mp3 player in terms of accessories. Sometimes, you just gotta go with what the media supports, otherwise you'll miss out.

well i am guessing ipod cant play games lol

And the PSP can? (BURN)

Do they have a list of PSP games that aren't crappy PS2 ports?

The psp is the best handheld system to date the ipod may have more song capasity but i'd like to see apple come out with a handheld that can play ps2 like graphics.

All I know is that my PSP was a fairly large dissapointment. I'm considering selling it.

You make it sound as though it's a proven fact.

Same thing happend to my sis' Computer. Also My friend is on his 3rd iPod because they keep freezing up and dieing. He takes great care of them too. Also a kid at my school, his iPod froze and then the back of it got hot, hotter, and started melting a little... So from what I see iPod sux...

You realize he was being sarcastic, right? I mean, it's okay to miss that kind of thing, given he didn't put a , but still.

if ur gonna buy an ipod don't buy an actual ipod, buy a less brand name one since those are not only cheaper, they are more reliable, and don't require using itunes (which is the stupidest thing ever)

Noone makes iPods except Apple.

GET BOTH!

I don't have the money to get even one.

wouldn't you rather play videos on this instead of a tiny ipod screen?

wtf is that?

iriver

A friend of mine had that. It was actually pretty sweet.

much better screen for videos and you can probably get one for quite a bit less than an ipod

I'm thinking about getting either a PSP or an ipod. I'm not sure which one to buy. The PSP has wifi and lots of games, but I think the ipod might have better music playback and it holds more music.

some alternatives might be the Zen instead of the ipod, Or the gp2x instead of the PSP.

I know the're not really the same type of thing but could you guys give me a hand.

I'm not too sure. An ipod is very good for listening to music and watching movies. The PSP has good, portable graphics but the game are bad in my opinion. Ipod.
