The original thread was full of off topic post and spam and no poll so heres a new topic.

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.


Now that I did my homework, the Xbox 360's RROD problem is an unfixable one. If you buy original, you have to ship to Singapore so Microsoft can repair and it will take up to one month. If you buy modded, you have limited warranty and the repair might go wrong.

I've thought about it already and I think Xbox 360 is a better choice because it will entertain me longer than an iPod Touch and it has a longer generation cycle period rather than the ever-replacing iPod. Thanks to those who have given good advices and some who did not.
