ipod touch and PSP...worth it to own both?

I have both and glad I do. The Touch is a better device in every respect except for games.

* iPod's have much better audio circuitry and DAC (digital to analog converter) than the PSP, so the audio quality is quite clearly superior, something which is very important to me at least.

* I can't tell which has better video quality, but the iPod's touch controls make it simpler to use, and it supports more video formats out of the box.

* Web-browsing on the Touch is fun while on the PSP it's... yuck. Google maps on a Touch or iPhone is an amazingly fun activity in itself.

* Games however, it's obvious the PSP is far better. I never use my Touch for games at all, just music, occasional video, and occasional web browsing.

The newest Touch models now have an accelerometer like the iPhone which could make the games more interesting.

It's true though, it's cheaper to get your PSP a big mem card and only use it for music and video. I mean, you don't *need* an iPod if you already have a PSP.

pshh... the iphone FTWsupa_badman

What is the cheapest plan you can get for the iphone? I just don't know if 100 some dollars a month is worth it, especially since I don't talk on the phone a lot.

In Canada it's something ridiculous like $80. Not worth it IMO.

And if I had both, I would probably use my iPod for music and internet, and PSP for movies and games.

Yeah it can be worth it to own both of them because you can listen to music while playing your games on your PSP. As for the Iphone, I'm buying one so I can make it into a Pay-As-You-Go phone so that I don't have to play a stupid plan or anything.SPD_WeBmAsTaH

How do you pull that off?

Mainly：

PSP - Game

Touch - Music

I own a PSP and LG Dare (Verizons Iphone, just as good) Ipod Touch is just a waste of money. For the space they give you and the price, it's a huge ripoff.

My phone does more than an Ipod Touch for only 200$.

i own a psp and iphone. The iphone is great for music, internet, and decent games from Appstore. The PSP is great for games alone. I only use my PSP for gaming, nothing more.joeychew

What is the most inexpensive plan for the iphone? My problem is, I spend 30 dollars a month right now for my phone bill. I don't make a lot of calls. However, I would use the internet if I had it all the time on the iphone.

The PSP is also supposed to get a much improved screen for the 3000 series.

It all depends on what you'd use it for. Quite frankly both are too big for me to use as my primary music machine. I'd stick with my PSP since gaming is more important to me and it does the other 2 features well enough (music/movies).

I was wondering if anyone has both. I have a PSP, and I love it, but the touch can do some things better than the PSP. Internet, music, etc. in my opinion is going to be all significantly better on the touch. PSP I mainly use just for games anyway. So, do you think it is wise to buy both or should I pick one or the other?resident_jdoe

Get them both, ipod for massive music, video archiving and psp for gaming. You wont regret it.
