I bought the pspgo. Its more comfortable to carry then the original psp. It has a hefty price but I thought it was worth it. I mainly put the original Spyro games on it. I had to have it just because of that. I love carrying Spyro around whenever I'm bored.

PSP is a little bulky to carry around honestly... I remember shoving mine in my pocket, its quite uncomfortable.

Wasn't the PSP made to mainly play games on? I'm pretty sure it was.

I wish I could drag and drop music as files onto my iPod so I can organize it and stuff in folders... I always do that on my nexus.

The only issue with that is the fact that I would lose my music later on
after getting my playlists and crap almost perfect. I might bet a bit grrr.

But $15 a month for that kind of deal is pretty cool. Problem is that I got
my iPod Nano [3rd gen] for free from my loving parents some Christmas
ago. I like it a lot, and the battery lasts for a long time, depending on what
I do with it. That, and I'm too used to using iTunes.

If the iPod is free, why not use it? At least it's Windows compatible.

If I was really into getting new music and stuff, id really just subscribe for the ZunePass with Microsoft's Zune software, its got a really nice looking interface and you can download all the music you want for $15/month, and you get to pick 10 free songs you would like to keep forever even after you cancel your subscription (when you cancel your subscription, the other music you've downloaded cannot be played anymore, but the music you downloaded with your 10 free song credits per month you can keep forever.) Its basically $5/month all you can eat song rentals + 10 permanent song downloads.

The newest Windows Movie Player looks nice and easy to use.

[Edit] I got off topic, heh. Sorry.

I don't believe that iTunes music is DRMed anymore, I think its DRM-free now, but they do have some format that they use that isn't compatible with a lot of other players... AAC or something, I don't know, I don't really like iTunes, the interface looks like an excel spreadsheet.

What's nice is that all of Napster's music is in MP3 format. If you buy from
iTunes, the files are Protected AVI format, so you cannot change/move
them around as well as MP3 files. That, and Napster has a bit more music
[including much of the less popular independant bands] from what I've
seen when searching for music. I also get to use Audacity for the MP3s.

If you just want to listen to music you can buy mp3 players for like $20 and a good pair of headphones for $30...

Neotyguy, lets see your nexus

Are you implying that I like Microsoft better because I want to be "cool?"

I hate it when people say they are 'aligned', or a 'fanboy' of a company.

It's these things that set the world of consumer technology back a good 10-20 years. People choose a company/OS/device and stick with it, without putting any logical decision into it.

Take the console wars for example... People tend to stick to the PS3 or Xbox, and always try to attack each other. Why? What does it accomplish? That you can justify your purchase to make you feel better about yourself? That's like someone in 3rd grade picking on someone to hide their insecurities.

There's also the phone wars for example. If you go onto a highly regarded tech site like Engadget or Gizmodo, you will see that there are hundreds of either Android fanboys who call themselves 'smarter' or the iPhone sheep who call themselves 'cooler'. To me, that makes me think that they are trying to hide their flaws with themselves, with the smart dorky geeks buying the iPhones to be 'cool' and the more popular jocky idiots buying Android phones to seem 'smart'.

I wish it was a law that companies can't put their logo on any external piece of hardware or any image inside the software. It's completely stupid and useless. The real good consumers are the ones who don't judge by images or videos of a device, or even reviews of other people. They go to the store and try it out themselves...

I have a Mac
I have a Linux
I have a PS3
I have a Wii
I have an iPod Touch
I have a Nexus One
I have a lamp
I have an air-conditioner
None of it matters.

The iPod is the only thing I find worth buying from Apple. I'm a Microsoft
fan. And no, I'm not part of any bandwagon...
