PSP vs iPod

I im interested to see what Apple has planned to blow away this PSP phenomena. I believe the PSP WILL steal iPod's Halo effect unless apple has somthing big ready to roll out.

PSP Teaser - For those who need to see the PSP

The only thing that iPod has over the PSP is a hard drive and iTMS. But the PSP has so much more over the iPod somthings that many people by the droves will see very clearly.

CONVERGENCE! DON'T U LOVE IT.

The PSP is a gaming console. The iPod is a portable music player. That are two different things, no one is stealing the Halo effect of each other.

Your Right the PSP is just for games yea, they have the MP3 player and video playback, but big deal. The screen sucks in the daylight and is waaay to easily scratched up, run your finger nail over it lightly and it will scratch up, no on the iPod though...

It's over priced along with the games, just like the PS3 and Xbox 360, for the price that the companies want they can keep them.

The console has no hard drive or flash drive, other than the iPod which is designed to hold masses of music, while the PSP is for games only.

Yes, it can play music, from a mini disc or a memory chip, but not from an hard drive.

The display of the PSP seems quite ok.

The console (PSP) will have an estimated cost of of €254.99 when it launches. This is quite ok for what you get. The 3D graphics are stunning on that console. Look at screens of GTA Liberty City Stories if you don't believe me.

The other consoles are not overpriced. PS3's initial price is not known yet, however, please remember that that console is run by Cell processors, sporting up to 3.0 GHz with a PPC CPU. This is currently faster as any PC or PowerPC in the market. That's a gaming console I might add.

PS3 is going to sell for $399
Xbox 360 is going to sell for $360

all prices are american dollars...too much for my blood, i'll wait till they come down in price.

Of course since it will be first release of this console. Wait till next year will go lower.

They are different things. PSPs aren't going to appeal to anyone who doesn't like games, and that's a lot of people.

I'm looking for a device now, PSP doesn't even figure in my equation, if I don't get an iPod, I'll get a media player for movies and stuff.
