id say its a simple matter of value for money the PSP plays movies, music, games and can do other stuff aswell. its got a nice big screen and decently loud speakers and it costs around £170.

the ipod video plays music and video on a tiny screen has crap battery life and is made by mac and costs around £180

id say psps got it beat.

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet

Depends on what you want. But there are better players than the iPod out. iPod is just a fashion accessory. There made cheaply. As for the PSP it does have impressive specs for a handheld console.

I support the psp and think its a wiser choice, but you are all forgetting something, SIZE doesss matter. carrying your psp around with you listening to music isn't the best feeling, it can be quite large and bulky at times. when it comes to comparing features, the psp smacks da SH*T out of ipod, but ipod has a better size. it truly depends on what your gona use the psp for. if your just looking for music, get teh ipod, f*ck the psp, its to big to use as a mp3 style player. but if you wana play videos and games, get the psp as a multimedia player , you feelin me? word up

you can't tie your showlace with a psp in you pocket, but you can't WALK with an ipod there. If it's not fixed, it hits you in the dangly. The PSP is so big it doesn't move.

if you trip over, you psp's broken and smashed.
if you trip over, your ipod goes up your ass since it's so small itll jab into you.

I was told to change my sig so I did this.

the selling point of the psp isnt that its supposed to fit in your pocket just that its portable.

they call small tvs portable they dont fit in your pocket lol

i forgot to say that psp screen is 4.3 inches compared to 2.5 on the ipod. plus to code video right it took 12 hours for ipod vs. 3 for tyhe psp. battery life is about two and a half hours on ipod vs. seven on the psp. plus, can an ipod go online? can it wirelessly (or wirefully for that matter) connect to another ipod? can it play any good games. can it shoot a disk out the back like a gun just by twisting it? i didn't think so.

bottom line: psp is versatile pluss it can save your ass in a fight. that umd disk'll hit 'em so fast, they won't know what hit 'em!

and the coded version of video takes up less megabytes on psp than on ipod (example- psp=600 vs. ipod=720). it's a larger % of space but a lower # of megabytes on the psp. the exact opposite of ipod. als, the ipod's video and audio are barley crisper but the the psp's sound and video is almost as crisp and a whole lot bigger. plus psp has speakers.

if you want a good brand, but a sony

ROFL, since when was Sony a good brand?
IMO the iPod does have games, and it also has lots of other everyday uses, being able to show text files (already a Cliffnotes style brand for iPods and Cellphones), alarm clocks (wake up with your favorite song, not whats on the radio or beeping)
And if you aren't like the people in my school who have the iPod on ear busting volumes, (at home, I have it the lowest it can go, on commute 1/2 - 3/4) it lasted me 16 hours of music at home and 9 hours on commute. The video lasted me a little over 2 1/2 hours (which is more than promised)
Also, people keep saying all these fixes for PSP, yeah but they all cost money! PSP is for people who don't know how to budget, or idiots.
And I love how you PSP lovers only compared the video aspect, there's a reason iPod doesn't market it as iPod video! I have many Southpark episodes on it (using one of the many available freeware convertors which you can leave on and your comp will auto shut off after done) and it's pretty easy to see. Plus, no one beats Apple in support.

Oh and that site is using Quicktime convertor = ROFL
I made my custom set for converting, takes about 40 minutes for TWO passes through a video at QB2 Stereo quality and the files usually take up around 100MB for a 24 minute South Park episode.

Lastly, think of how much time you'll be able to use things in general. Music is something easy to multitask with and many people do it. While playing a game.. can't do that while driving, many people get motion sickness doing it while sitting in a car, in school it's definitely not allowed... But in the car, you can listen to your favorite tunes with no commercial on your iPod, doesn't require you looking at anything if you're a passenger, and just simply slip it through a sweatshirt at max volume (in which you have many hours) or such. At home.. no need for it as you have your computers and much better gaming systems.

then why does the polycarbonate case call itself the "Logitech Playgear POCKET"?!?!?!?!?!?

Why does the APC Article say "The Playstation that fits in your POCKET"?!?!?!?!?!?

And why does it FIT IN MY POCKET?!?!?!?!?!?

And why does my grandma have a POCKET?!?!?!?!?

I was told to change my sig so I did this.
