PSP second place behind iPod

[Veskgar]

The iPod is better for music - The PSP is better for gaming. Its that simple.

What is interesting is that the iPod is incredibly popular with record sales. And if the PSP is really close behind that is good news for the PSP.

I know one thing, I'm tired of my lame friends trying to put down my PSP because their Ipod has 60GB of space. Then when I ask them how many songs they have it's usually 50-200 and they only listen to about 30 of them.

I don't see what's so great about the Ipod, and I refuse to buy anything made by Apple, especially after seeing their "Mac vs. PC" television ads.

Point is, I like my PSP, it does what I need and then some, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Agreed. I got a 40Gb MP3 player, with DRM WMA support for only £90. Its big, but it does its job perfectly, and doesn't need a fancy screen.

Yeah, I have the 60GB Black iPod but I use it only a fraction of the time that I use my PSP.

It really does sting that the PSP is limited to 4GB of storage. And that 4GB memory stick is EXPENSIVE.

Im going to start my rant with a story. I was playing my psp one day and a friend came up to me and said "why did you get that? The Ipod has more storage" and I thought for a minute then I loaded a homebrew app. Then very calmly I said "Ture, now go away as I play N64 and Gameboy..."

Truth be told Ipod was made for music...and thats all its good for. The psp was made by sony, not to beat out anything, but to see if they could put out a handheld. I do think that in a year or 3 sony will make a much smaller psp with a big harddrive (and hopefully easy to crack)

I also think that sony likes homebrew slighty because it makes a sale. Some kid sees he can play gba on the psp and goes out to buy his own. That is why the downgraders were origanal made =P

And?
You said you watched videos more than you listened to music. Well, the iPod is for music.

Actually the iPod is for music and videos. The iTunes store has been in the video business for quite a while now, and the iPod itself (latest models as of the end of last year, anyway) plays video.

When people look at the iPod and then they look at the PSP, they'll think of the PSP primarily as a video game player,

Some people. This obviously wasn't the case for me, as I was a person looking at the PSP before I actually bought it. As I mentioned, video gaming was a supplemental issue for me.

it's about what someone wants in their expensive portable electronic device.

Which is where the PSP does compete with the iPod, and in my case won me over from a potential purchase from Apple.

Omg, lets not start a Ipod vs PSP flame war. Just chill all, and btw I recall that PSP fw 2.81 removes the 4 gb storage limit. Right? Not right?

too bad some people aren't intelligent enough to know how to put music on it :P

i know of someone who tried to put in music without going to the USB connection screen...lol

My understanding was that it was advertised in 2.81, but actually removed in 2.80.

I have no problem with the iPod. It just ain't for me.

not surprising considering the fact that there are practically 2 known companies/products who are running for best media portable.

PSP and Ipod, what others would u expect?
