i Cannot wait till october!

16GB PSP Go

or 16GB iPod touch 3G


i hate you jason! (in a good way)

The PSP-2000, in my opinion, is better than the PSP-GO in that it features a UMD drive. Think about it. When you get a PSP-GO your UMD games can't be played on it. And, it's pretty much the same thing, except ultra portable and you can download games on to its internal memory. That last exception is a BIG plus because of it's 16gb capacity. I'm not sure if the same download-games feature will be available for the PSP-2000 but if it is, why not just get a 16gb memory stick. This way you keep the UMD drive and the 16gb capacity.

If the above is true, the download-games feature will be on the older PSPs, then just get a 16gb or a 32gb memory stick. Then, save your money for the new iPod touch.

If the above is false, then I don't know what to say. (I'm definitely getting the new iPod touch though. I love my PSP-2000)

I've never liked PSPs... the graphics are about the same as the iPhone's in some cases, and the games on the PSP are more expensive...

I don't know about you, but I like to make sure that what I want exists first, then compare. For all we know, Steve is going to stroll on stage with the first iPod with a camera that cures cancer.

iPod.

Yea it might be more expensive. But you get so much more.

Better wifi/internet browsing. Better media playback(music etc) thousands of more games/apps.

Maybe even a built in camera.

iPod, 10 times better the a psp. imo

You're asking this on an iPod touch forum? Lol.

I think you all know my answer.

I would say PSPGo. That's right, PSP Go.

The next iPod touch would be more likely to be focused on gaming, and the PSP Go will beat the iPod touch by miles. It will have MUCH better graphics, did you see them?

Downloadable content, bigger screen means better movie watching and internet browsing.

The only thing the iPod touch/iPhone has over the PSP Go is that it's touchscreen.

i sold my psp thinking i would only be using my ipod. I made a mistake the psp is still better for the hardcore gamers and i must say it has better graphics too.

Just because the screen is bigger doesn't mean browsing is better. It's a pain in the ass to type on that thing compared to the iPod.

The touch comes with thousands of apps for you to use, many of which increase the performance of your iPod. The games are better, too, IMO. Although, that's just because they're cheaper.

The iPod also has a lot of support, so if you ever have a problem, someone will undoubtedly find a way to fix it. That's probably the same with the PSP, though.

The PSP Go looks pretty cramped together... It would hurt my hands after a while. The PSP is for games. The iPod is more convenient for taking notes, music, videos, the occasional app, touchscreen, better browser, etc.

Of course it's better for gamers. The psp is for games. The iPod is meant for things like music and Internet browsing.

Im getting the PSPGo just for the new PSP littlebigpanet with completley new levels. And sony are doing a trade in where u can trade in you UMD game and then they let you download the digital version for free.

Well i am getting both the PSPGo and the iPod Touch 3

The iPod touch 3G will be aimed for gaming, I'm almost sure. And so will the PSP Go. Sony are a much better games company than Apple, and I'm sure that more games and tweaks will be made for the PSP Go, which 'may increase the performance'.

And a bigger screen does mean better browsing (the internet-wise), however, yes typing is a difficulty. In my opinion, the PSP Go will thrash the iPod touch, especially seeing as the iPod touch 3G will (I'm 99% sure) be the same price as the PSP Go - over priced.

I meant that even with the bigger screen, if it has a crappy browser it's still bad compared to the iPod touch, which has MobileSafari, one of the best mobile browsers I have ever used.

..., if it has a crappy browser it's still bad compared to the iPod touch, which has MobileSafari, one of the best mobile browsers I have ever used.

Ya, if. Which I doubt. Mobile safari is the only browser I have ever used tbh. And well... I can't make any judgment, as it's the only one.

But yeah, the PSP Go's browser may be better, we'll just have to see.

Let's hope it's nothing like the browser on the other PSPs, or it's going to be totally blown away by the 3G touch.

If you're gonna get a PSP, get the good old psp 1000, easily hackable, which means free games :D. I do still enjoy my iPod but for games its definatly a better device.

No. The psp's browsers is f*cking bad. The constant ram boosts in each psp made it a bit better. It it still sucked.

Mobile Safari is miles ahead of it.

PSP = Games
iPod touch = Music

2 completely different things.

That's cause they can make more profit by advertising those. -.-

hello again.
i think the psp go will be 400% better then the 3000 and 200% better then the ipod touch 3G.
alot of u think that the 3g is 4 music and the GO 4 the games, but your fogeting one thing, the psp is even smaller and lighter then the ipod touch, it also has a built in music and video player and a bigger battery making it easily beating the ipod touch.
one of you said, what about my old umds, i'm pretty sure sony will have this covered else there will be alot of unhappy consummers.
also u guys are saying that the web browser is better on the ipod, so im asking how do u know this?
sony releases big firmware updates every new psp released, they'll probably update to 6.0
firmware, and browers adustments might be an update, maybe they'll add zoom.
the psp has a firefox web browser, and its still alot faster then safari.

with gaming issues, the psp is almost as good as my xbox 360 graphics.

i could literally go on for hours, about the new psp.

one issue i've found and its ahuge issue.
if the psp has even better graphic, games will be even bigger to download, and with slow wifi speed i could take a couple of hours to download a game.
sony should make a peice of software on pcs like itunes, so we can just play and pause downloads

lol.... you just typed up all my thoughts. Thanks. The PSP Go will be 200% better than the iPod touch 3G. You'll see... muahahahahaha.

@naf456

Apple have made the iPod lighter each time. so most likely they will try to skim off more weight this update.

---

"it also has a built in music and video player" Do you have a ipod? lol

---

You don't know that the pspGo will have better battery then the 3G.

Apple bumped the battery loads in the 3Gs, they will do it again, especially if they want to push it more as a gaming device.

---

"also u guys are saying that the web browser is better on the ipod, so im asking how do u know this?"

I have a psp. have done since it came out in 05, then got the slim when that came out.

The browser was terrible, you couldn't even get onto the official Sony forums with it running out of memory.

---

of course the graphics are better on the PSP, it was originally made for gaming. Unlike the current iPod Touch's

EDIT: Text wall much? :L

I would rather have a Touch than a PSP. But I'm more into music then games.

As an allrounder, I think the iPod touch trumps competition. I'm hoping Apple would have some ace up their sleeves to stay ahead in future as well.

The new 3GS hardware allows for games with as good graphics and length as the PSP. Also the PSPGo has the same battery life as the 3000 which is 6 hours. The iPod Touch 2G can match that and therefore the iPod touch 3G will beat it probably to 8 hours possibly. The PSPGo is twice the thickness of the ipod touch and they are the same size, if not a little big

I've never liked PSPs... the graphics are about the same as the iPhone's in some cases, and the games on the PSP are more expensive...

And In some cases... the PSP has graphics tons better than the ipod.
I don't feel like the ipod is something I can play for long. 99% of the games are something you just play once or twice. The PSP has better developed games and titles that last long and that I feel are funny to play. The PSP is like a portable PS2.

Some games work better on the ipod/iphone than the PSP, Rolando for example.

But generally, I feel that the PSP is a more full fledged gaming device.

The ipod touch 2G battery doesn't last that long. lolwut...
Check the timelapse video on youtube or do some real life test. It doesn't last 6 hours.

In some cases the graphics are better? Are you kidding? The PSPs graphics are near to as crisp as the PS2s, and look at the iPod, it can't even emulate PSX.

I'm guessing you already have an iPod Touch 1G or 2G so I would get the PSP, unless the 3G has a camera.

WOAH, the 3GS battery only lasts 2hours 36mins whilst playing graphic intensive games. I am definately getting the PSP Go with littlebigplanet psp. But I will get the 3G iPod Touch aswell. So the PSP Go battery possibly lasts double length to 3GS but it is twice the thickness

In some cases the graphics are better? Are you kidding? The PSPs graphics are near to as crisp as the PS2s, and look at the iPod, it can't even emulate PSX.

That's what I meant.
And full speed PSX emulation is a big bonus. Not to mention it actually has tactile buttons. Even if the Iphone 3GS could emulate PSX at full speed with audio, it would still not be very good.

To me, it depends. I have a PSP-3000 (and a PS3) that I use for any gaming on the go, but I use my iPod for music and surfing the web. If you just want a gaming device (with superior graphics) and pretty good online multiplayer, go for the PSP GO. If you want an iPod, but it has games, go for the iPod touch.

i prefer an ipod touch than a psp go just because ipod touch is more cooler

i prefer an ipod touch than a psp go just because ipod touch is more cooler

Trust me, PSP's are cool to. But they are more gaming-oriented, so they are more functional in that department. Anyways, as long as you don't go for the DSi...:eek:

I tried my cousins DS lite and it wasn't to my taste.

a PSP with CFW is really good for gaming.
PSX, NES, SNES, GBA, GB, MAME. blablal and so on...

But the fact that it was real buttons is what makes it a winner over the ipod touch for ME. Accelerametor and touch screen can be very limited.

I'm going to get the PSP 3000 for playing PSX games. Playstation has alot of good RPGs which can't be found anywhere else.

Surely, the iphone 3GS can emulate PSX decently now but playing with a touchscreen just sucks.

im torn straight down the middle just like u...

iPod Touch 2g > Psp Go
iPod Touch 3g > Psp Go
iPod Touch 3g ? PsP 2

Now that I might be interested in, can't wait to see what Sony does for the PSP 2.

im getting the ipod touch 3g first, then getting a psp...cuz i dont have the money to get both now...and what is the max capacity of a psp's hard drive or whatever they are these days?

some people aren't getting what I'm trying to say here.
ipod touch = music, video and web browsing

PSP = music, video, Fantastic games, Pretty crappy web browsing(at least it's there), cool looking device, camera, massive battery huge screen.

the psp can play music and video as well and it support tons loads of formats so you don't get annoyed well itunes keeps yelling at you to decode a mp4 movie since it has got ACC audio codec.
also, listening to the psp, it sounds alot warmer and more 3d then the ipod because of it's great walkman sound card.

also people say, that there's gonna be a bigger battery in the ipod but there is also gonna be a bigger processor as well.

i own a 1G ipod and a psp 2000. my iPod rules past the psp like america over germany. i'm just so worried with the new psp coming out. shitloads of people own and love there psp, it mite be a definite winner.

so the PSP can play great MUSIC and VIDEO just like the ipod.

also someone said that they know that the browser was crap since they had a psp in 2005. didn't you read all my thread?
i said they mite upgrade it in the new new update.
my english was bad since was typing it for 40 minutes on my ps3.

I've never liked PSPs... the graphics are about the same as the iPhone's in some cases, and the games on the PSP are more expensive...

I never even thought of that. We get the same quality games for $10 USD or less. But, you get better game play with the Go! because of the external controls, something the iPhone can never beat.

The bottom line is, if you are a casual/moderate mobile gamer, and still want an iPod, get the iPt3G. If you are a hardcore mobile gamer, and don't need iTunes, get the Go! I just hope they come out with a 32GB model, 16GB just isn't enough. Although, there is an SD slot right?

PSP GO.

The PSP GO has better graphics.. New Sleek Design.

I only wish if it had a touch screen for only internet browsing.

I want to keep my 1G. :)

How do you know it will have better graphics than the 3rd gen iPod? The iPhone 3gs is already more powerful than a PSP Go, so I'm going to have to assume the iPod Touch 3g will be also.

Psp Go has the same graphical capabilities as the PSP that is out right now by the way.

FYI, just because its more powerful =/= it can have better graphics. E.x. PSP can play PSX games at full speed, and n64 games at a nice speed.... Can the iPhone 3GS do that since it is, infact, more powerfull? Would post pics to show the difference of PSP vs iPod Touch/iPhone graphics... but meh... -__-

The 3gs barely came out, of course there isn't going to be fantastic looking/playing games/emulators out for it already.

Not that a PSX/N64 emu would even work well control wise on an iPhone, but I was talking about actual games. Since he mentioned that the PSP Go had better graphics, not that the PSP Go could handle emus better.

I was simply pointing out the fact that he was saying something that is already out(graphical capabilities wise) is already better than something we haven't even seen yet.

The PSPs have better graphic processors then the iPhone and iPods do. That's why it out performs at games even if the iPhone has a faster processor.

What about the 3Gs?

the 3GS is either better or about the same as the PSP in the graphics area, but...

the PSP has real life pressable buttons. That's why I prefer the PSP even if the graphics are worse.
Well it doesn't really matter to me, since I play old old 2D games and RPGs.

That's true, nothing can replace actual buttons.

I do prefer the DS to the PSP though and that one has the worst graphics out of all three.

I have a PSP 2000 and haven't used it in months maybe a year or two. When I heard about the PSP Go! I wasn't to excited especially since it only has one analog stick, also the graphics are better but you can see those types of graphics in the app store with a game that costs 0.99. I'm still woundering how much the wifi has improved. Also it looks pretty big if you ask me.

The iPod is for Media, Browsing, etc.
The PSP is for games. It fails in comparison to the iPod in everything else.

I'm definitely not getting a PSP. It's not worth it, since I hardly play games on my iPod. I'm almost always using my iPod for Music/Internet Browsing.

my opinion: if you want good games-psp. if you want internet, music, media-ipod. you can do that on the psp, but its easier on an ipod.

my opinion: if you want good games-psp. if you want internet, music, media-ipod. you can do that on the psp, but its easier on an ipod.

And it's better.

And it's better.

yeah that too.:D

The PSP can do a lot more things than an iPod/iPhone though.... Tons of emulators, tons of games (good ones at that), ability to watch streaming videos off of websites like YouTube, dailymotion, etc...

I doubt the 3GS is the same at producing graphics as the PSP. Mostly because there are about 4 other platforms for the App Store and if a company decides to make a game that only the iPhone 3GS could use, then they probably wont get good sales.

The PSP Go was the biggest disappointment in my life. I thought they would have souped up the processor and graphics, but all they did was make it smaller and take away the UMD drive replacing it with a Memory Stick. I'm awating PSP2 as of now, which DOES have souped up graphics and processing (graphics are as good as the first Xbox).

I'd say the iPod Touch 3G is the way to go.

First thing is that the iPhone 3gs 600mhz processor doesn't beat the psp 666mhz processor and I hear the new psp has an even bigger processor.
Secondly the iPhone games are 20X worst graphics then the psp.
A standerd high graphical game of the iphone is about 150mb
The standerd high graphical game for the psp is 1.2gb.
That is amost 12x bigger.
Then again the iPhone does beat the crapy DS lite

The psp go isn't meant to be a better device than the current psps but a variant of the psp 3000 for those that want digital media instead of having physical discs.
The psp go is for those that doesn't like carrying separate discs and what not.

I understand that you may be dissapointed but the PSP2 is what you will want to wait for.
I still think the psp is much better gaming device than the iPod though. iPod games may look good but they don't offer any depth or gameplay that I want in a game. Zenobia is my favourite game in the AppStore but it's really just a gba game made for the iPod/iPhone.

Shooting my opinion into a pool of other opinions no one's gonna read? Not what I normally like doing, but this topic is close to me, so here goes.

First off, I own a PSP-2000, CFW (not even gonna start on what the possibilities are). It's primary use is, and always will be, gaming. I don't use it for web browsing, social networking, or media playing. That's what my iPod touch 1G is for.

When it boils down to the PSP!Go or the iPod touch 3G, what is there to expect? The PSP!Go is a gaming platform, but it lacks essentials that the DS doesn't compromise: a form of media for games (UMD, flash card) and a form of media for storage (SD, Memory Stick Pro Duo). The internal memory is good, but it's certainly not enough to contain games. It's a forced limit of space for gamers, and if people are gonna buy the PSP!Go as a gaming device, I think they're making the wrong move. In retrospect, I feel it could be a nice media player, if Sony doesn't mess up the XMB for it this time around. Even then, Apple owns the media device market with their iPods and iPhone.

On the other end of the spectrum is the iPod touch 3G. All we have so far is rumor and speculation, but I'm gonna throw it into my idea of what the next iPod touch will be. I'm pretty sure by the large purchase of cameras that it will have a camera. On top of that, Apple is marketing their iPod as the "funnest iPod ever": a sort of gaming platform. While I don't believe the iPod touch is in the slightest a gaming platform, Apple has made a market off of it, and it's working well for them, so keep it up! To keep it up they're gonna want hardware that can play games, so I'm thinking we'll see hardware that's as good or almost as good as that of the 3GS. Back to the camera for a moment: video recording? Apple has always kept a distinct gap between the iPod touch and iPhone, and raising the price of the iPod touch and putting price tags on software updates has helped. Adding a microphone to the new model might close this gap significantly, and a camera is already testing the waters. Either way, we're gonna see the price go up, and if not that, it certainly won't go down.

So when you're asking the question PSP!Go or iPod touch 3G, you're really asking yourself what you'd rather do. The PSP!Go provides gaming through digital downloads, much like the App Store. Also, you can use it for media playing. The iPod touch has proven to be a worthy gaming device, even without the gamepad, and that market is huge. Also, you can trust in Apple to come out with quality software for playing media.

For me, the question is which would I rather upgrade? Should I get the new PSP!Go to play games on and use for media, but losing the ability to have more space (for me space is a necessity, hinting at that CFW again), or get the new iPod touch 3G, giving me a speaker which my PSP already has, and a camera which my PSP has as well (good thing I bought that Go!Cam while I was at the London airport)?

Final answer: iPod touch 3G. I'm gonna keep my PSP-2000, because it does everything I need it to: gaming. My iPod touch is lacking, though, of some of the new features the 3G will have. I do have a phone, and it does have a camera, but I rarely use it because transferring pictures back is a hassle. It also has a speaker, but I rarely use that either, because the amount of memory available isn't much. With a new iPod that has a speaker and a camera, all my media needs will be available on one device. That plus WiFi, and my iPod touch will continue to do the most out of anything else.

First thing is that the iPhone 3gs 600mhz processor doesn't beat the psp 666mhz processor and I hear the new psp has an even bigger processor.
Secondly the iPhone games are 20X worst graphics then the psp.

Then again the iPhone does beat the crapy DS lite

It's actually 333 MHz, the gpu is also a big factor.
We must not forget that the PSP is a dedicated gaming device while the iPhone is running those apps under OSX mini(iPhone OS) which consumes both memory and power.

I saw a device online the Touch drops in, having the PSP-type controls.

I'll probably get both.

Mmm, I'm keeping my 3000 for the new Kingdom Hearts game so yeah.

Augh. That looks so darn good. Just so darn good! Omigawd. I think since I already have an iPod touch, I should just get a PSP GO.

iPod Touch 2g > Psp Go
iPod Touch 3g > Psp Go

Now that I might be interested in, can't wait to see what Sony does for the PSP 2.

The PSP Go! is the PSP 2.

Wow, just watched the video and it's smaller than I thought it was. Too cramped for me.

The PSP Go! is the PSP 2.

*sigh*

I knew somebody was going to say that. No it isn't, it's not replacing the current PSP, it's just going to join it.

A new PSP 2 is still in the works from Sony.

http://kotaku.com/5273208/qore-lets-slip-the-first-look-at-psp-go

keep your psp 2000, you can still get littlebigplanet and stuff on it.
and get an ipod duh!

Some people will not want to get the new 3G if they have a 2G touch or iPhone 3GS. It's a waste of money to get similar hardware. The Go, on the other hand, is not similar to the other PSPs. It's a new experience, and will almost undoubtedly be better than the current PSPs.

Edit: Anybody know a good guide or whatever to hacking the slim PSP? I've never tried, and feel like trying on my cousin's PSP.

Ok, here's my opinion; Ipod Touch 3g
I was also thinking of buying a PSP-Go(looked cool, and lighter) but it wasn't a major improvement on the psp-3000,2000, or 1000. Other than that my other issues with it are that the screen is actually SMALLER!!!! and the loss of the UMD drive. Another deterrent for me was that the PSP-Go is basically Sony's version of the Nintendo DSi; its just there for ppl to buy more PSP's and less DS's and ipod touch's. Chances are if you w8 a year or two(most likely a year) Sony and Nintendo are going to reveal the next-gen handhelds aka PSP2 and Nintendo TS?(idk) but at that time ur going to be regretting u bought the GO! so for now I say I get the 3G then get the next-gen handheld(whatever it may be) because also chances are the next-gen psp will be able to emulate ps2(where the processing power is going anyway, by that I mean way up). So yeah...Ipod Touch 3g

I would say PSPGo. That's right, PSP Go.

The next iPod touch would be more likely to be focused on gaming, and the PSP Go will beat the iPod touch by miles. It will have MUCH better graphics, did you see them?

Downloadable content, bigger screen means better movie watching and internet browsing.

The only thing the iPod touch/iPhone has over the PSP Go is that it's touchscreen.
im sorry, but i would consider that a pretty big deal.....

Yeah, but it's called an iPod. iPod = Music.
i really dont think that the touch should be considered an ipod. im sure many will disagree, but thats why loads of ppl(like me) call it an itouch. it doesnt just pla music, and to be honest i barely use my touch for music. thats why i have 100 songs and almost 100 apps.
theres just so much more to a touch than music. the ipod is closer to a tablet than a ipod. think about it....it has internet, apps, games, a touchscreen, PLUS music and vid.

a true iPod like a classic has a huge storage capacity and only plays music and video.

Something Like this seems it would bring a Flame war.
But I would take the PSP Go even If I don't have my PSP 1000 anymore I still like it for the Games like God of War and so on.

I've never liked PSPs... the graphics are about the same as the iPhone's in some cases, and the games on the PSP are more expensive...




:eek: You've obviously haven't seen much lol

PSP is mainly for gaming.
iPod Touch is supposed to be for media/internet.
iPod Touch obviously has more features due to the touch screen.

Exactly what I've been saying. Sure, Apple might be aiming towards gaming, but it's still mainly for media/internet. And of course its touch screen.
There is more than you can do with an iPod that helps with everyday life.

God no. Get an iPod Touch 3G, way worth the money in the long hall :D

im sorry, but i would consider that a pretty big deal.....


Touchscreens suck for any hardcore gaming. Period, and they always will. I still regularly use my PSP.

The PSP GO! is going to get AppStore-esque games soon because Sony lowered the price of their SDK by a lot (can't remember the percentage, but I'm pretty sure it was a high price cut). So the PSP GO! will have all those 99 cent apps eventually. The PSP also has external buttons, giving it a distinct advantage for gaming over the iPod Touch. That being said, I would get a iPod Touch 3G because it's an overall better multi-media device. Although, if you only want games, then just get a PSP GO!. Crisis Core is so much fun.

PSP=Games
iPod touch=Multi-Media

That simple enough?

I've read my old post and relies I've edged towards the psp a bit.

Dispite both gadgets are absoultey fantastic, they still have major flaws.

The iPod touch does have a touch screen, but after an hour, it loses it's gimmick side and just becomes annoying, especialy playing any form of games.

The psp has got it's old horribe, bummed out XMB from 2001 and is screaming in pain for a face lift.
The disapointment when turning on it ps3 to see the crapy xmb is depressing.
Sony really need to do what microsoft has done and change the GUI.

Apple need to make a gamepad attachment ( that's what 3.0 was for, right)

The psp has tons more features then the iPod touch. But apple just has the best graphic designers and really makes the iPod feel specail to hold and play with.

iPod touch = quility

Psp = quantiy

The solution to this is very simple.

The best of both worlds, the DSi.
It haz a touchscreen(ipod strength) and buttons(psp strength)
Not to mention it has 2 SCReEns!
And it has alot of childish games just like the iphone.

Not to mention that it has battery life better than the ipod touch and psp together.
it also has a browser and music playback capabilities.

everyone in the whole world knows that DSi's are shit

shity graphics,

shity gui

shity games

shity speakers

good cameras

shity processors

shity...

i can honestly go on forever

Exactly. That guy should even get banned for suggesting to get the DSi.

Get an iPhone! There are so many people selling iPhones that don't have contracts anymore, if it has no contract then it works like an iPod with a camera and a mic and vibration and better speaker, etc, and if you want to use the phone parts just get a sim card for some prepaid service.

Really it's pointless to have some scheme to get this new iPod when you can already have this new iPod and it could've been a while ago.

I mean, I'm setting up my phone for tmobile.

well you do pay a HUGE premium for unlocked iphones. if someone bought one without a contract, they paid $700 so.......
and even for just gneerally unlocked iphones they're around 300-400$.

everyone in the whole world knows that DSi's are shit

shity speakers

EY! ey.. HEY!!

At least they are stereo :cool:

When did the DS come into this?

Keep that console out. Its a great console.

This is about the 3G and Go. keep it that way.

The PSP is shite, iPods are great.

The PSP is shite, iPods are great.
What makes the PSP shit, and what makes the iPod better?

Oh an MOD, DS's are rubbish. They are for 3 year olds.

What makes the PSP shit, and what makes the iPod better?

I've owned every PSP, I loved the first one, I hacked it, knew loads about it etc, etc. The slim and lite was an upgrade for me, that was fine. Then I got a touch, I realised how fantastic this was, much better than a PSP. Yes the graphics aren't as wonderful, but it's an iPod. I love it. Now this new PSP, you can't hack it, it's a rip off, you have to download the games! How crap. It doesn't appeal to me, the slide up makes it feel like a phone, and it's not. Stick with iPods.

ohh the horror:eek:
you have to DoWnLoaad the games. Wow that sucks. People nowadays like going out and buying circle shaped stuffs with games on them.
Downloading is a thing of the past.

Oh an MOD, DS's are rubbish. They are for 3 year olds.

Okay, look. Downloading games is better than buying discs. Secondly, how do you know it isn't hackable?

LOL. I want you to re read that, and understand how foolish that is. The only thing the PSP has over a touch is the great selection of games. It fails in comparison to the iPod for browsing, typing, email, etc.

Yeah, who said it can't be hacked? That has yet to be determined.

Sony might have done a whole lotta stuff differently, which might make most of the main reasons to hack a PSP useless.

No... and I'm not trying to turn this to an illegal discussion, but people usually hack PSPs and what not to get free games. I don't think Sony has included that.

That itself is really really really important.
The ipod touch games are mostly just flashgame clones.
The PSP has some real ass games and real depth and real story line and real gameplay. Not some childish tilting and touching.

Hey, mod, you might want to close this. I can see this becoming a console war VERY fast.


Just for the record, though, iPods serve one purpose, and they do it well, while the PSP serves its purpose, and does it well. They are really in to COMPLETELY different sections of the market. For all of you 3 year olds saying, "One is shite, iPod rocks" you need to grow up, and learn to have an intelligent conversation. PSP is dedicated to gaming, while iPod is still a music player, but with the App Store it is becoming more of a gaming device. Still, the iPod isn't there yet.

So, to the asker, if you want some good gaming, go for the PSPgo. Sony makes great devices, I'm sure that this will be the same.

If you want music, and a bunch of 99 cent crap apps, go for the iPod, but realize that there aren't a lot of great games for it yet.

True, but there are some pretty nice games. Nothing beats Peggle, except HoldEm. :)

Close this, please. People just keep repeating the same stuff over and over, without reading the previous pages.

Heeeeeelllllll yeah.

It shouldn't get too out of control, though. People will just keep repeating the same thing, and most seem to like them both equally, or understand that they're both great devices.

Yes. But earlier, I could have sworn this was going to get out of hand...

Anyways, Sony is a nice company. I like how they have their employees post on their blogs, keep me up to date.

I just wait for other people to read the blogs and tell me what they said. :)

Yeah, I usually don't care all that much, but at least they try. As long as the serrvers for Resistance 2 are kept up and running, I'm a happy man.

I love Resistance. Had to give it back to uncle, though. :(
I should go and get it back for another week or two.

Blah blah blah... For all of you 3 year olds saying,... blah blah blah

I hate it when people say that others are 3 yr olds, or 12 yr olds, just because they're trying to have a debate, or have a conversation, and they're in the wrong.

Anyway, on topic: The iPod touch 2nd gen was clearly aimed for gaming. No doubt the 3rd gen will be too. And the PSP Go is made for gaming, just like all the other PSPs.

So.... since the 3rd Gen iPod touch isn't released, or hasn't even been previewed, nobody can debate whether it will be better than the PSP Go or not.

For all we know, the iPod touch 3rd Gen could be solar powered, or even have more buttons either than the sleep/wake button and the home button.

Maybe he was referring to the people typing like 3 year olds? Like the fool who said, "PSP is shite" I don't see how that's trying to debate anything. That's just bashing the device with no evidence to back up what he said.

I was saying those that called either one a POS where 3 year-olds, no those who were trying to make an intelligent conversation. Yes, the iPod touch 2G (and, most likely, the iPod touch 3G) was aimed at gaming, but a different gaming market. It was aimed at casual gaming, the same place that the Nintendo DS was (except for a couple of games, though). The PSP is more for people who like shooters, adventure, and overall hard-core portable games.

Oh well I can't really understand what people really mean over the internet, when they type. Like, they mean something else in this manner, well i apologise.

Anyway, back on topic...

im not getting a psp go cus i got leds in my psp phat:) ill get a 3g touch, and that will be a better investment

Oh, don't apologize. Didn't mean to make that seem like I was being an ass. I'm just tired of those children coming in and saying one device is crap compared to the other.

Oh, don't apologize. Didn't mean to make that seem like I was being an ass. I'm just tired of those children coming in and saying one device is crap compared to the other.

I am too, especially when they have never even used it, or only briefly. I own both. And I like both.

Eh, I'd prefer the iPod because I mostly use it for music, and it's smaller.

the psp go is near enough the same size, but quite a lot fatter

PSP has very few games but are good quality. iPod touch has a lot with most being junk

here i've decated my time to show you some comparison pics.
sorry about the psp pics, there rather low contrast the the actual psp.
i took the psp pictures with my Sony Ericsson K800i while i used the ipod to take a screen shot on the ipod pictures.

the first 3 pics are the ipod touch the last to pic are the psp.

the other 2

2 make this a fair test as possible i got the same NFSU game for both device.
even though the ipod version was built completely fro scratch.

as you can see, the ipod touch has more of a cleaner look, compared to the psp. the psp has lowwer graphics, the reason for this is because the 3D object
mask are about 30x better/more advanced then the ipod touch.
with the gameplay, images (when the car is driving in a race),
you can clearly see what i mean. the ipod touch background is just a image of some houses, while the psp, you can physically see around all the bends
and houses since they are 3D objects not a Static image.
also, the Psp Shader level is about 2x as better as the ipod's shader level.
on the ipod, when we look at the car in the garage, the shadow is just a black square, while on the psp, the shadow bends with the car.
also the lighting is alot, ALOT better in the psp.
the ipod has no depth. it's a single color and doesn't make any difference with the shader. the psp, wow, the color from the lights are alot stronger at the light then softens up as it comes towards you, and it brightens the spot like a light is supposed to do instead of just being there for the sake of it, i can right a 50,000 word essay on how the images are different and how it makes the psp so more engaging. the ds makes the same mistakes as the ipod does.
before people start saying again that the ipod is just an ipod. atleast the ipod has a fantasic Music player on it.
apple is clearly trying to push it in the gameing market.

i say ipod touch, since the psp go isnt much of an advancement from the original.
i still have my good 'ol ohat, and im happy with it

the ipod touch 3G isn't that much of an enhachment.

i hear, with the PSP GO! you get a Charging Dock. how cool.
i would have to pay 40 quid for an ipod dock.

The PSPGo has a higher resolution compared to the iPod touch's and iPhones so it is better

The Ipod touch is 480x320
and PSPs are 480x272(aka true widescreen)

The PSPGo has a higher resolution compared to the iPod touch's and iPhones so it is better

The iPhone and iPod touch have a touch screen, so they're better.

See how stupid that sounds? Just because the PSP has a better resolution doesn't make it better.

God, both are GREAT devices. Both are directed towards different people/users. I agree with mitchell209; both have their plusses, and their minuses.

ok. both are great devices.

also just because one has a Multi-Touch screen, doesn't mean it's better.
the psp screen in high in contrast, it's more crisp, true widescreen, and scratchable.

also i don't understand why people think the psp go! is the same as the old psp's. and that the ipod is totally differnent?

the psp has a Whole different shape. the ipod is just going to be the old boreing shape.
also the psp has a mic and a camera (Go!Camera attachment) while if the ipod has a Camera it won't has a mic. we still not sure if the ipod has a camera.

so lets make a deal.

if the ipod touch is annocunced and has a camera, both the devices are the same. if the ipod touch is annouced with a Mic and a camera the ipod touch is best. with out nieth the pspGo1 Rules in multi-media player on the go.

Your on iPodTouchFans. Not much of a hard choice is it.

The iPhone and iPod touch have a touch screen, so they're better.

See how stupid that sounds? Just because the PSP has a better resolution doesn't make it better.

No, the fact that it doesn't have a better resolution makes him sound stupid

No, the fact that it doesn't have a better resolution makes him sound stupid

There seem to be a lot of stupid people on this thread. But still, I think the guy got his answer... why do we still keep posting here?

The PSP and PSP Go both have a resolution of 480x272 which is higher than 320x240

The PSP and PSP Go both have a resolution of 480x272 which is higher than 320x240

I think the Psp Go is ugly.
Who likes the design?

Not me! :)

It looks uncomfortable..

It looks uncomfortable..

Exactly. I would hate to play on that for longer than an hour or so.

Haven't talked to you in a while. Sup?

It looks uncomfortable..
The slide thingy looks really wierd.

The psp doesnt have anything new with it besides no umd and new design with the same battery life as the psp 3000

I rather the PSP 1000 over the PSP 2000,3000 or GO . Even though I've never held the PSP GO I would get really rusty fingers if I played on that for 20 minuets. But if I had to choose any PSP and the iPod Touch 2G I would take the 2G so I think its obvious I would have the iPod Touch 3G over the PSP GO.

@torin_93 i think a new design is something new......

The Itouch is an ostrich trying to fly and the PSP is an eagle trying to run. Sure an Ostrich can try flapping its wings, but it will never truly fly. Likewise PSP is an eagle can try running but it will never run well either.

If your in for the gaming, go with the PSP
In for the Music, go for the Touch

The Itouch will never be able to be a good gaming device without buttons. Some games just NEED it. (FPS, Sport Games, 3D environments to explore, 3D RPGs) And buttons on a touch screen doesn't work. In a fast pace game you could get killed but someone that was under your thumb.

If you don't get my metaphor: Game = Fly, Music = Run

alright just to clear up something that is bugging me... people talking about psx emulation. Apple isnt sony, therefore apple isnt liscened to a huge develping team working on emulating psx (a sony standard) on the ipod touch or iphone. Sonys psp handles psx well not only because it is made by the same company but the same developers use the same basic structure and architecture as that of any playstation and henceforth should be able to run psx easily. Its like saying that the psp cant run iphone apps.... get it.. okay good

Eh, I'm pretty sure that the PSP Go will be way better in the gaming department, but the Ipod touch will always be better for other stuff like music, movies, web surfin, and other media

Yea, since it was like made for them, but what the heck, i still say my ipod touch is better than the psp i once had.

Bigger screen as opposed to the touch? It has a smaller screen than past PSPs, but the same resolution.

No, actually I believe it is a larger screen... But I'm not sure.

What kind of idiot thinks that the iPod touch is a GAMING DEVICE? Hahaha. Not even close. If you want gaming, get a PSP, if you want multimedia, get an iPod. The iPhone/iPod touch will NEVER have "real" games, nothing even close to DS quality graphics. This is a pointless, hilarious thread. The PSP has crappy games, but they are actual games, while the iPod has crappy independent games that last 5 minutes and you're bored. The DS has games with depth and is really versatile. Get a DSi, you'll be far happier, unless your one of those 13-15 year olds who are "embarrassed" to play a DS or Nintendo console. Nintendo will always make the best games, and when they develop for the iPhone, I'll change my opinion about the iPod touch as a gaming console.

Do you even have a ds? I have the dsi and the ipod touch does have better graphics on some of the games and they will get better.

No, actually I believe it is a larger screen... But I'm not sure.

No, Its smaller.

Nintendo will always make the best games, and when they develop for the iPhone, I'll change my opinion about the iPod touch as a gaming console.

If nintendo make games for the iDevice's, then i'll most certainly get rid of my DSi. My (ex(i say ex because my mom washed it :O)) iPod touch 2G was for music, internet, movies, apps & only a few games like NFSU for when i was bored in class. My psp & DSi are for real games though, and i can't wait for the release of the PSP2.

Do you even have a ds? I have the dsi and the ipod touch does have better graphics on some of the games and they will get better.

Graphics is not the big issue here. The problem is that the itouch was not MADE for gaming. It will never game better than the DS or PSP. I mean its like playing a computer game on a HP all in one touchscreen computers without a mouse or a keyboard. Sometimes buttons are just necessary

I actually pre-ordered a white PSP Go earlier this month. As for my iPod Touch (1st-gen), I will either keep it or upgrade it to the 3G (unless textbooks have eaten up my savings). I see the iPod Touch as a multimedia/entertainment device, but of course not as a dedicated gaming device. There are some great game options in the App Store no doubt, but the PSP is really meant gaming, although you can watch motives & tv shows, and listen to music.

It may seem redundant to have both devices, especially if on both devices you can play games, run apps (if Sony really does bring an app store into the PSP market), listen to music, view photos surf the web, and use services like Skype. For me, however, I use my iPod primarily for music, safari, and twitter. On my PSP Go, it'll be a dedicated gaming device, and I probably will not load much music, movies, or photos on it.

On another note, the PSP Go is very sleek & portable, precisely why I'm getting it!

No, Its smaller.

Well, then, there goes my chance of upgrading my PSP.

i didn't ask if you think the psp 3000 and the ipod touch 2G was better, i asked if the PSP GO or the iPod 3GS Could be better, and before someone says "How can you tell, no of them are out yet!" i said COULD be better.
the psp GO processing power is 480MHz, against the iPods 3G 600MHz.
the ipod 3G (in the future) probilaly will have beter bigger games then the psp GO. and towards the button part of this, a 3rd-party company could build a cool controller model to use the ipod with.]
then again, the psp has a multicore version of SGX543, the graphics chips that fit the iPhone. this will increase the peak performance of 133 million polygons per second, exceeding the original Xbox.

SGX543:
Pileup, we see that they have separate caches for data and textures, 8 PE ISP (Image Signal Processor Processing Elements) that significantly improves the fill rate, vec3 extensions / 4 in USSE (Unified Scalable Shading Engine) to double the actual performance vector shaders in the applications and will support OpenGL 2.0 and DX10.

so as the psp go will grow, so will the ipod. actually i've writ this the wrong way around, i just can't be asked to change it.

I think that it will be interesting to see what follows. IF a company designs a controller periferal for the iPod touch 3GS, then games will have to be updated to work with it. Will the developer do that, unless the manufacterer of the controller pays them? I don't know. Either way, with the current rumors, it goes without saying that the PSP GO is still, by far, the better gaming device.

what about the PSP vs. the EGG?

what about the PSP vs. the EGG?

PSP still wins, but only because of buttons.

^word^

There is also a lot more videos on the zii site as well.

wow...ill have to check them out after the hype on this website dies down.....

omg the PSP GO is danm ugly man, i looks like a stupid mock-up that someone made, not a proffesional Sony release, ew!

I agree with you there, mate... Reminds me of merely an updated version of those old-school Nintendo games in the 80s and 90s! :D

you have no sense of what it means to be a gamer.
FORGET about what the PSP GO looks like.
it looks better then the LG KS360 phones.
the Zii looks like a cheap plastic case for an Hiphone.
Whatever.. it doesn't matter

Hah what, the PSP GO! Looks really nice up close, I'm really diggin the back.

Hmm, the only reason I'm going to go with the PSP Go [for now] is because of some of the great titles coming out. The PSP I have now is one of the first models ever on the Market, and it's covered by layers upon layers of dust...We don't have so many details on each as of now so... we'll see.

u all fail. the iphone 3GS has an opengl 2.0 graphics card that pwns the PSPs GPU. next ipod touch will have 256 mb of ram and the GO will only have 64 mb. great titles are coming out for iphone too. ever heard of NFS Shift, modern combat sandstorm, gangstar, asphalt 5, Livefire, the ipod is better PERIOD

You are funny. When there is a game for the iPhone 3GS with as good of a storyline, graphics, game play, and fun as Resistance: Retribution on the PSP, then we can talk.

NO PHYSICAL BUTTONS=FAIL (for any serious games.)

the ipod touch will have bluetooth, camera, wifi-n, AM/FM radio, mic, up to 800 MHz processor, new GPU, more RAM........................... The PSP GO WILL NEVER MATCH IT AS A MULTIMEDIA DEVICE< EVEN THOUGH IT MAY HAVE SLIGHTLY BETTER GAMES. AND WHAT KIND OF MORON SAID THAT THE DSI HAS BETTER GRAPHICS THAN AN ITOUCH. WHY DON"T THEY GET ASPHALT 4 AND NFS 4 IPHONE AND COMPARE THE GRAPHICS WITH THE SAME GAMES ON DS. DS GRAPHICS ARENT EVEN 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DS doesn't match the PSP or the iPod touch.

But the PSP will always be better for games, because that is what it was designed to do. Even with external controls, it isn't as portable as the PSP, and that doesn't mean that all apps will support it.

Heh, say what you want about no buttons because I don't think you're necessarily right.

While you all argue, I'll be finishing playing Mother3 with no problems, and when I'm done and you're all still arguing about no buttons, I'll be deciding between playing SMRPG or Earthbound. Buttons =/= fun

Ok, fine with me! For any games (besides simple, kill time games) you need buttons to play it optimally.

They may not be Halo3, but I find them to be better games.

And what other purpose does ANY game have besides just killing time?
And when did simple become a bad thing?

And like Mr. Infracted said, there's an easy solution being a small external casetype shell feat. buttons for those that have trouble getting used to simple touches

And PS, what's burning in your Av? It looks like a pencil eraser to me, but common sense says its a match...

We agree to disagree, I guess.

Oh, and it is a closeup of a tiki-torch burning.

Psp Go appearance=homo!!!
but it looks over all like a good device

i love iPoT so im going with 3rd gen,

major adavantage of the psp go is the option of upgrading memory! with the memory stick slot. that way you're not stuck with the same amount of memory like ipods.

Zii egg.

i'm a Big gamer, and no matter what, the Touch screen Doesn't Do it for me, compared with the PSP. i do love the Games, there better then nothing.
But like i said, the PSP is best because it was Made for GAming. Just because,
something has higher specs, doesn't mean it beats the Lower specs.
the PS3 is Probably (not sure) 300% better performing then the Wii, but the Wii has been console of the Year for 2 Years now, and Everyone loves em

Edit: this is Talking about the PSP GO! and the iPod touch, Not the Zii egg, if we where talking about the Zii egg, it'll be named "ipod 3G or Zii egg" But it ain't.

Edit2: The iphone cost £2500 in a contract, so why the Hell would i want a £2500 pound iPhone over a £200 PSP GO!

I agree that the PSP is more suited for gaming... Hey, even my brother uses one and the gaming experience is just wonderful!

However, the iPod touch is more of an all-rounder... Games-wise, the touch is satisfactory but do not forget about its use as a business productivity device as well as music player and Internet access... Add on the multitouch screen and you've got a great gadget which is excellent for most of everything! :D

iPod Touch > PSP Go

The iPod can just do all of it nicely. The PSP is more sourronded around gaming which is nice if you are a gamer. And the iPod has the APP store and MUSIC store!

But the PSP is nice

i say PSP Go.

i dont need the iPT3G because iPhone 3G is pretty much all i need.

Someone else on the internet said this, but I can't remember where the site is. Anyways, the iPod touch and the iPhone both do more than almost any device on the market. That is what makes them great. Now, they all do those things worst than a dedicated device would.

If you already have a PSP then you shouldn't buy the PSP Go. If you already have an iPod Touch then the only reason to buy the iPod Touch 3G is for the camera, which to me is a waste of money considering you don't need another iPod for just a camera. If I had to choose one of the two, I'll pick the iPod Touch 3G.

well you might consider the fact that the psp will have an appstore with similiar prices to apples
