    Default Going to make a purchase and cant decide...

    Alright so this weekend im going to lay it down and get either of the two things and I need some help from the mature and well mannered Whoreslounge.


    My choices are:

    HD DVD Player (Sorry no blue ray for me)

    or

    Ipod Touch



    Now, I love watching movies on my Plasma, and I also like listening to music.

    I'd go ahead with the HD-DVD player. The prices are down to really good level now and plus Best Buy is running a special with buy an HD-DVD player and recieve 9 HD-DVDs for free. Toshiba is leading the market right now in these players and they can be had for as low as $300 now. Later, QD.

    That's right. Only problem is that it won't provide the same upstanding qualities as a stand alone unit would. Later, QD.

    Lol, well I have never been into the music on the phone style. I don't like switching between, I would rather have two different ones. How much memory do you need for the ipod?

    8 Gigs is fine. Even with podcasts and audio I never went above that mark wiht my 30GB, I always clean out the playlists weekly with new stuff to listen to at work and in car.

    The switching is also what Ive always been for. I dont like "all-in-one" designs....but the Iphone seemed different and much nicer when I tried it.

    I have never really played with it that much so if it works nicely then go for it. I would go for the HD though, when friends come over and everything, thats when it really shines.

    I would not get an hd DVD player if I were u. Blu-ray is going to dominate the market as they become more affordable. I work at blockbuster and I can already tell because we rent blu-ray DVD's but not hd. I would get an iPod touch, I am typing this message from my iPhone right now sitting in class and I love it. If you have access to wifi like I do here at school you will love not having to bring a laptop everywhere u go it is a blessing with a boring professor.

    Do you miss the phone capability at all? or Camera? I have a Samsung Blackjack and I have no complaints from it.

    I have an iphone not an ipod touch. So i have the phone and all of that. I was tired of carrying my cell phone, an ipod and a laptop everywhere i went, that is why i finally broke down and bought it.

    In my reply i was suggesting he get the ipod touch because of the wifi and music capabilities since he didnt list the iphone as something he was considering.

    Does the blackjack do full html sites or just sites designed for mobile phones? Html and the way i can touch and zoom on antything on a webpage is the reason i chose the iphone over something like your phone...plus i could never give up itunes

    If your looking at an Ipod touch, just get the Iphone. Prices came down and now they're the same. The price drop leads me to believe its a 2nd gen phone (or maybe 1.5 with the glitches worked out)

    As far as Blu-Ray dominating the market. I dont see that happening. Every blockbuster I've been at rents both BR and HD movies. I forsee a combo player coming out before that happens. Plus movies are usually coming out on both formats anyway. And with prices of stand-alone units dropping, might not be that expensive to get both
