I got an e-mail from Dan in San Diego, CA, asking which is better: the Video iPod or the Sony PSP? I really can't answer that, Dan, so I've enlisted the help of my good friend Tony Buckney. Lets start the debate.
Colin: I would have to go with the PSP.
Tony: I beg to differ. The Video iPod is better.
Colin: Why do you say that?
Tony: Well, the PSP's music and movie functions are a bit sketchy. I mean, there aren't a lot of UMD movies out there, and it's hard to transfer data from your computer to your PSP, much unlike the Video iPod, which does it automatically.
Colin: But the PSP makes it easy to play movies and music once its on the memory card.
Tony: I don't doubt that, it's just that getting data on the memory card is a challenge in the first place, and a 32 mB memory card is very small.
Colin: Your absolutely right. But there are bigger memory cards available for next to nothing. It also is pretty easy to change memory cards.
Tony: Next to nothing? A 1 gB card is 60 bucks!
Colin: Well, thats a lot cheaper than a Video iPod.
Tony: Yes, but are you forgetting that a 30 gB Video iPod is 300$.
Colin: Well the PSP is mainly for games.
Tony: What games? Pretty much all the games on the PSP suck.
Colin: Not true. Theres ATV Off-Road Fury, Metal Gear Acid... and you have to have played Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories!
Tony: Okay, i'll admit, there are some really great games for the PSP. But the Video iPod is the MP3 player to have!
Colin: All right, so we agree that the PSP is more for gaming and the Video iPod is geared toward music and movies.
Tony: Agreed.
There you go, Dan. It's your pick. Are you in for the games or for the music and movies? That will determine what to buy.
