Mini iPod or PSP ? Options

[sweetxsimplicity]

I want to get one, but I don't know which I should get. I want an iPod, but it's mostly only expensive because it's Apple, and I want a PSP, but then it doesn't look as nice as an iPod.

aren't they completely different things..?

Not completely..you can store music on a PSP.

[JC4P]

they have nothing in common... you can only get music on PSP if you have the data cable. PSP is gaming. iPod is music. but still PSP is better

[fameONE]

PSP. iPods are for fashion whores (I used to have one, shhh). Dell iFrauds are the way to go

Yes, but the point is that you can still store music on it. (;

uh oh not this again



wellll you have to pay for games too ^^

[Eryi]

PSP cause it has more features.

[ItzOnlySydney]

^ yea

[SKDMNLE]

i like..psps =)

It's expensive to store music on a PSP. Memory Sticks are expensive, so cost per mb will be high. Whereas the cost per megabyte on the ipod's hardrive is rather low.

However, I'd recommend a Zen Micro instead. Or a Nintendo DS and Gameboy Advance SP, it can play music on the much cheaper Compact Flash format with the addon.

[to-devastate]

PSPs please.
Ipods will eventually go out of trend.. and I already have a MD that works for me currently.
PSPs has realllly good graphics. And. I love playstation. You can also watch dvds (psp version discs). It's awesome.

I knew you were gonna put a Nintendo system in here somehow.
And yet i do agree with you on the Zen Micro. (Advance Sp?! Ds came out, just go with that out of those 2.)

Go for the PSP cause ipods suck. And Another alternative to the Ipod besides the Zen Micro is the Iriver H10. Color screen and 5 gigs with a Radio included.
No extra accesories need and it still has alot more features.

[twisted_stripes]

Hmm, im not into gaming and all :) so i'd probably choose i-pod mini, that's what i have

Zen Micro? I love Creative dude but come on...Memory Stick Duo's dont cost that much... a 256MB is only 40 bux...
and xd0rkette PSP discks are called UMD's Univeral Media Disks...

[heyyfrankie]

i would choose an ipod because:

it looks nicer, like you said, and (from by view) i could use it in class whereas i couldn't use a psp. and psp just came out so there could still be glitches...

go with the ipod!

[freeflow]

its really up to you .. choose the one that you know you would use more .. me i would use the ipod way more than a psp

[Jus2s1mp13]

It depend on what you really want. I was debating about it too. Should i get ipod or psp. But i have a psp. It rock! i already have a Memory Sticks so i can store up to almost to an ipod. I have music, games, movies. You name it. Its awesome. Its worth the money to me.

[iliang86]

its kinda hard to compare the two. if you want to play songs, definately the ipod. the battery on the psp only lasts so long. but the psp also lets you play games and watch movies...so its kinda hard to compare

[shandy_okada]

PSP is better
becoz PSP hv more functions~~
i got a PSP already~~
so i plan to buy a ipod mini ~~~

[dreamerOi]

normal ipod or psp. haha but no mini ipod.

[SpedMonkee]

it really depends on what ur looking for. if ur looking for more of a gaming machine with the capability of listening to music id go with a psp.

if u just want straight out music then get a mini ipod, u will save urself a whole bunch of money. becuase in order for a psp to be a really good music player u would need a 1 gig memory stick, which costs around $100, not mentioning the cost of the psp itself.

i have a psp and i couldnt be happier! i have a 256 MB memory stick and i enjoy listening to my 40 some odd songs and playing my games.

[SpedMonkee]

they have nothing in common... you can only get music on PSP if you have the data cable. PSP is gaming. iPod is music. but still PSP is better

u dont need a data cable, all u need is a simple USB cable, which almost anyone who owns a computer has.

[jaeman]

I'd choose the playstation portable since it's a multimedia entertainment unit, you can do a lot more with it than just a mini ipod. I mean sure the mini ipod looks cook and all but yeah, you know what I'm trying to say.

Think in terms of cost per megabyte. IE, bang for the buck.

PSP + 16x 256 mb memory sticks (a little less than 4gb) = $890
Mini Ipod (4 gb) = $200

The PSP is about 15 cents per megabyte, while the mini ipod is about 4 cents per mb. The mini iPod has 4 times the bang for the buck. Not to mention it costs less as well!

[TheSpoon]

psp. games and songs! hella big screen. =)

[Negi]

chose the psp,it lets u play games,music,and u can uplaod movies or ect.to it.

[*kryogenix*]

another thing about the PSP. putting media on it is a pain in the neck. there is a whole procedure where you need to convert the media so that the PSP can play it. whereas, a dedicated mp3 player will play the songs without you needing to spend time converting it.

[FoOd]

PSP! hah

[drugmasterj]

I have a mini ipod now its gay so I want a psp and what is next the beginnin of all this was what kind of cell phone u have but gone to another level with technology with me... just one thing with everything on it!!!

[gladz612]

hem... i'd say mini ipod.. but i'm using the i pod photo and i'm loving it. i thought psp was specifically for games..

[JC4P]

u dont need a data cable, all u need is a simple USB cable, which almost anyone who owns a computer has.

actually you need a 0.5 Type B USb Cable which i doubt everyone has.

[visualfusion]

My PSP came with the data cable... or whatever its called... And I basically use mine as a mp3 player... w/ the 1gb card, that is...

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

hard to say.

are you more of a videogamer or a musiclistener?

i would stick with ipod if you like music.

if you like video games and the like, get the PSP. it's pretty cool (too many of my friends have one -_- but the graphics of some games for the PSP are amazing)

[benloveschicken]

Hmm..so does that mean that the memory stick costs more than the PSP?

haha no he is just saying in "space" wise if you by 16 of the 256 sticks will be one ipod mini

sticks are like $40? give or take

i say psp because you can do more

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

Get an Ipod But THEN AGAIN....PSP's are cool cause they can do a lot of different things. I'd get an ipod though, psp looks a bit complicated for my smallish brain

[HoT_x_STuFF]

PSP!!! i kno it`s like da best coz my big brother got one on the first day it came out... [[ he`s so lucky!!! ]] nd it`s really cool!!! i wnna get one for myself too!!! jst gotta tell my mom coz it`s freakin expensive!!!

[sweet_devil]

wat's a psp?

[pinyoboy]

PSP HANDS DOWNNN there is nocompetition. this shouldnt even be up for debate. XD

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Yeah but you also forgot that ipods are GAY.
They suck in every aspect.

Psp or anyother mp3 player/
And also, you dont need a data cable.
iIf you have the memory stick slot like i do on my computer, then you don't need the cable.

Of course, mine is a sony vaio, so it had to come with it...

[wayne]

... haha ima stop replying to hte ipod bashers.. haha. its getting kinda old now. but whatever floats ur boat..



i think the psp is hot. i love it. but i love ipods also. if i could only choose 1 though... id have to go with the psp. why? because it can store music also, just for a deeper cost chunk out of my pockets. but still. its worth it. to be able to play games, and music, and watch movies all together is a great idea. its a sony product so im automatically in love with it.



psp pwns all other portable media players out right now. mp3/game/movie players all have nothing on the psp.

[shortiiex]

psp are more fun! they have music and games!

[apple.]

psp has such agood graphics. you won't regret.

[Kenado]

Psp, but I do want an iPod I have a PSP.

[EddieV]

I'm not really fond of iPods so PSP...

You can play videos too!

[*lolita kitty*]

uh, mini ipod!!!! duh!!!!
i <3333333333 my pink mini ^_^
