Urban mammoth Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Hi, It's my 21st birthday coming up and I'm already getting some more major presents which i will stay with the rest of my life.Was just wondering for a bit of gadgetry, the itouch or psp??i already have a 30gig ipod, but itouch/iphone's look so awesome!!! can you go on the web with the itouch??i really like the look of a psp as well, but i haven't ever payed on one. I travel quite a bit on trains so the games would be awesome. Do they integrate well with macs?i heard you can go online on these, but also heard it can be hard to put music and films on? plus they don't seem too have much storage?any news review or recommendations would be great!!taDan Edited November 8, 2007 by Urban mammoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Surely it comes down to whether you want to play games or not?The iTouch (actually technically we're not supposed to call them that, it's the iPod Touch) just looks really cool, but I probably wouldn't get one - 8Gb is just not enough. I still want one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban mammoth Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 yer,dont they come in 16gb aswell??i cant see that taking a load of UMD discs around with makes the psp very portable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondy Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ipod touch can come in 8gb and 16gbYes, they can go on the internet and you can watch videos off of youtube aswell and buy songs off itunes etc.You can also get jailbreak for ipod touch which allows you to download 3rd party apps for it such as games etc (obviously games arent going to be as good as psp games but the touch isnt for gaming though!)Up to you really! I've got an ipod touch and i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 dont they come in 16gb aswell??Oh yeah. The iPhone is 8Gb max at the moment. 16Gb would be a bit better I guess. But since it's clearly designed for video, I still think it's not enough. I've pretty much filled up my 30Gb iPod with just music - if I tried to put my video collection on there I'd be a bit screwed (200Gb). I love the fact that all my music is on my iPod - I can listen to anything whenever I want. Whereas I'd need a HUGE player to store all my videos.

Tomm Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 i've only got 4.5gb of music and 3 gig of films so far....That's terrible But either way, if you're going to get the iPod Touch, get the 16Gb one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Answers to questionsYou can go on the internet on the ipod touch. PSP have expandable memory up to 8gig. Edited November 8, 2007 by Boswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitcher Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) If you want a phone that can go on the net and ring people get an itouch iphone, whatever there called.If you want to play games and go on the net but not ring people get a psp.The internet on psp is pretty good, its just the same aes the iphone on the adverts only a bigger screen. You can get up to 8gig of memory for psp and it plays movies pretty well. Got a load of trial vids on there. Plus you can get hack software so you can download games and never need to carry the umds or buy a game ever again! Whoop! All you need is a couple of memory sticks, which you can pick up well cheap off ebay. Whoop for ebay.So id go with the psp. Although the iphone does look quite swish, i dont see much use for it rather than phoning and texting people and checking email. (or watching porn) Edited November 9, 2007 by Godsavethescene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban mammoth Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) ok im actually being swayed towards the psp now.i just want to know how easy it is to use with a mac?can u sync with itunes?? cos if its gonna take ages to put music and stuff on then what is the point? ahh if i use ---> this <--- then i can sync my psp with itunes for music, movies, game saves and bookmarks??also is this site genuine? so then i can get all the games and music i want?do the above require hacks that could potentially screw up your psp?im thinking i will need a couple of 8gb cards for this?Sorry for all the questions, i just want to have everything ready to go so im not wasting time if/when i get one!!cheersdan Edited November 9, 2007 by Urban mammoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban mammoth Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 hahaok, so now i want the ipod touch!! im thinking that im not gonna play games much anyway, its perfect for mac users, itunes and movies whilst having the added benefit of having safari and the possibilty (with jailbreak) for google maps and mail etc etc etc.plus its got plenty of storage for my musical/movie needs.AND it looks the dogs!! and has a touch screen!!! think i have made my decisionwhat is the kind of education discount you can get off apple because i know it changes if you access the site from your university!?can get them for bout 230 from ebay.cheersdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitcher Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I dont know how easy it is to snyc with itunes, personally i hate itunes so dont use it. Lol. I would of thought it just as easy to sync it with an mp3 player, but I dont know to be honest. I havent used that site, to donwload games get on www.pspiso.com - you have to sign up to download games movies etc.. but its free and theres hundreds of films and games on there.You needs to hack the software which you can do fairly easily. I 'could' screw your psp over, but i really doubt it, ive done it with mine plus three mates and its all dandy. I think there some software now that will fix your psp if you 'brick' it (screw it up). Should be able to find the software on that site above. Ill put in a link if i can find it.Ive got a 4gig card at the moment and ive managed to get a fair few games on it, about 8-10ish, depending on size. But couple of 8 gigs would be fine, spesh for movies and stuff.Edit - about 6% or 10 or something like that discount off the site for students?
