OKay here its is should I A) Buy an Ipod Video(probably the 60 gb) and put movies,music,pics etc on it and be able to hook it up to the tv and have a remote for 399 , or should I buy psp memory cards/umd's(25 bucks each) until I am satisfied, and keep in mind psp memory cards run 1gb=80 bucks, 2gb=150, and the 4gb hd=220. I think I know what to do b/c the ipod has more space, is more compact, however it lacks "screen realestate" but thats y i would the tv hook up thing and remote.

What do you all think ?

Thanks alot,

Malcolm.

Well, you can't hook up the iPod to a TV without an additional cable, and you also have to pay extra for some kind of remote. Then again, you can't view a PSP's videos on a TV at all, at least not without some kind of dodgy attachment.

But overall, yes I would vote for the iPod.

Yes, you'll need the dock if you want to use the remote. The dock also has an S-video output, which will give you better quality than the composite video out of the headphone jack. If you're not concerned about the remote, then you can output video with the video cable that Apple sells.
