I have saved up all year long for my birthday present and I have amounted up to RM1000+(16 year old only mah) and I originally wanted to buy the 360 because my only gaming console is a PSP and I sold my old PS2 for the Xbox but when September comes, Apple released the iPod Touch which is the iPhone alternative. I'm a movie buff, I regularly watch movie once a week and having a wide touchscreen portable movie player with a powerful web browser and PDA features is like dream device but alas I can only have one of the two. Any advice on which to choose? I'm pulling my hair because of this.

+ Why Xbox 360 and not Wii or PS3? PS3 is out of the question, unless they can play backup games, I wouldn't dream of buying it. The Wii has graphics similiar to PS2 which doesn't thrill me and I once played Red Steel on it and it was hard to control the character and not very accurate.

Do size and weight the matter for TS? Sub-tracked. shakehead.gif

Anyways TS, i suggest u consider again for ya option. Ask ya self, btween gaming and movie which one do u like most or u do often. If watch movie more then gaming then why done just go for iPod Touch? As for gaming, maybe pc can satisfy ur needs in term of gaming. As for my personal favor, i would go for iPod Touch since i got a pc to fullfill my gaming needs. biggrin.gif Owning a PDA like device are far more better then own a gaming console. Well.. Thats my 2 cent. Dont flame and no hard feeling. icon_idea.gif

That's the problem I don't have a platform for gaming. My computer don't have the power to play next gen games so instead of upgrading my computer, I opt for a gaming console because 1. Game installation unnecessary 2. Cheaper hardware wise(try buying the same amount of hardware to play nexgen games compared to console) 3. More games

I have both iPod and Xbox 360, but my iPod is not ipod touch but only nano. My opinion is, if i only can choose either one, i will choose Xbox 360, because why, iPod is only for limited function (u can only play song and watch video clip), after a few months u will feel bored because of nothing much to do with it. But with Xbox 360 u can play and have fun for life, every month got new game to play with and make your life full of activity and cheerful. If u boring with existing game u can buy or download new game and the best part is u can play xbox live online with all over the world, got a alot of friends and having fun together without boundary and physical gathering somemore.

I actually have an iPod Nano but it only plays music. The Touch is different because it has widescreen video playing capabilities, Web browsing, and bunch of apps.

ipods upgrade is getting way out of hand. I was so pissed when my 60gb ipod vid devalue so fast..

xbox on the hand devalue when you get lottery sweat.gif

Anyway when u compare two completely irrelevant item (come to think of it, this is worse than a NextGenWar Discussion), the only think you should think of is the practicability of it. Whether you are always indoor or outdoor. If you are always indoor, isn't it rather silly to buy an ipod touch?

I think what you say is true. Apple has regularly updated the iPod's line every year but consoles will at least last seven years because of their pattern in next gen.

My pick would be the xbox. Ipod can watch widescreen but watching at such a small screen nice meh? Besides, xbox can play your dvds and upscale them upto 1080p using vga cable.

Also, choose xbox only if you play original games. Why? Because of 3ROD. There is no certain way to avoid so you don;t know when you get it and when you get it, what is the best way to fix it? Warranty.

If you mod your xbox, you can only find ppl to fix it for u and yes it works but  no guarantee that it will not come back. At least you are protected for 3 years if you buy original. I'd rather sleep knowing my xbox is protected rather than having endless worries like when my xbox gonna get 3ROD. I know the game is expensive but 2nd hand game is quite affordable. Besides there are people like pmsoo who provides game renting. Besides support original ! Makes you appreciate the games more more more more.

Anyway, you are just 16 =.='' Prolly you should not step into next-gen first since the cash is quite hard for you to save up.

So? If my Xbox 360 overheats after warranty, I will just pay the shop to fix it. Much cheaper than buying original games that cost upwards of RM200.

RM1000+ is a lot of money. I don't trust my own judgement very much. That's why I ask people. I will decide based upon people's advice and my own judgement.

Another one of those who does not want to buy ori on the pretext that he is giving the finger to the money-sucking publishers.

If you are indeed a movie buff, the PS3 would have been a consideration because it is an all-in-one device. Gaming + entertainment but both are on Bluray of course, but you don't want to pay for that. You much rather prefer a cheap alternative eh?

Go for the ipod touch, because I dont want to see you come here crying after you have to fix the 360 for the 100th time because you cannot claim warranty.

Yeah, I don't even have a HDTV because I'm not rich. I'm going to play my 360 on my monitor. And the 360 problem can be fixed? I mean the X-Clamp solution and all.
