Why do ppl buy ipods when the psp can do the same things and even more even though the interface is not as tacky. I mean isnt the ipod too hyped up whereas one shld get the new psp slim 2000 over it which is for 170$ only now and just buy 2 x 2Gb cards along with the 1gb which is bundled with the psp? Hows the sound quality of the inbuilt speakers of the psp coz i feel that its standout quality is that over the ipod(iphone is more than twice as expensive) and the screen on the psp is sexy. What would u pick considering only music purposes and a bit of gaming. Movies also lol:tongue:
 
I guess u did not check ma review....here let me help u http://www.techenclave.com/forums/sony-playstation-portable-98804.html

the sound quality is truly amazing ..........much better than the ipod nano i have heard.......the max sound is a bit on the lesser side ........so u mught b better off picking the Creative EP-630 ear-buds for about 850 bux in the Hot Deal n Discussions

i dnt think u get a 1GB card with the psp........but a 2GB costs about Rs1400.......besides since the movies are stored in mp4 format for the psp screen size the movie files are small
 
PSP anyday .. for me Ipod was always a bit hyped .... though its one sexy music player , i think its quite overpriced .... apple thingy's :p . ..... PSP anyday ....

I think u didnt understand me. My question was can psp handle movies and music just like the as well as the games on it?
Thx for answering guys.
I had a budget for 300$ as a present from a realtive.
Im gonna get the PSP 2000 Black 170$
4 GB Sony card = 60$
AVI CABLE = 20$
2 PSP SEXY GAMES(recommendations for the best pls, preferably fps if thats good on psp and one of them wlll be vice city stories i guess. Again recommendations pls=60$
 
here is the answer to your original qstn

the ipod n psp cater to different markets

if i want a tiny device that has decent capacity, i'll pick the nano

if i want something with tonnes of capacity, i'll picj the 80/160 GB ipod classic

if i don't mind the bulk but need an all in one package (incl gaming), I'll pick the psp

Because multi-functionality is overrated as hell. People always prefer separate stuff for their various needs.
 
but i dont think the SQ of PSP is upto the mark..recently i used my EP -630 on a friend's PSP(older version) and the SQ was not that good..

even at full volume ..i couldn't here much i felt that the max volume is too low..and there's lack of punch\bass that you get in the i pod ..i really didnt like the idea of music on the PSP rest all is great. ..!
 
many people just want a simple and small mp3 player that easily plays their music. the PSP is a little too big to fit into that mainstream easily portable mp3 player market.
 
I never bought an Ipod. I carry my music around in mobile phones and use it as an mp3 player (ofcourse, I buy only those phones which give quality via headphones, like N70 (me) and 5700 now :P). And the PSP too, almost a good replacements for Ipods, where it does only one thing.

I used to do that, and I thought I'd never need an mp3 player. After I joined this job, I get a lot more calls and the increased battery usage doesn't let me listen to songs too much... I risk running out of battery and missing some important calls.
 
i was gonna say why ae u even comapring these things. well ipods are much smaller and just for msuci whereas the psp is obv for games etc. so u cant really compare them.
 
Well I dont like the IPOD that much and Wouldnt buy the PSP with music on my mind.....I'd rather get the Creative Zen Vision W.......

But between these to maybe PSB,....cause i love gaming:)

4Gb memory cards are easily available and 2 of those can easily hold lotsa music or even videos and some movies for that matter and u cant beat the PSP screen man. 4.7'' is killer. Basically the size is the only restriction in my mind and since the PSP is so much cheaper its a better package for everything IMO.:cool2:
 
I got a psp when they first came out and i still ove it now. I also have a 160 gig ipod classic, which i also think is great.

I use both for watching movies but never use the psp for music.

In my opinion they are as good as each other and it depends on the user.
