I wouldn't give him any cash. I think they cost about the same new.

What size is the iPod?

New PSP prize: $250

New 30GB iPod: $300
New 60GB iPod: $400

Factor in the $100 you'd be adding to the PSP, and you're giving him $350 worth. Even knocking off a little for the age of the PSP, it'd be about $300 to $325 going his way. So, if the iPod is a 30GB, you're going to be giving just a little bit with the age of it bumping it to around $250-$275. However, if it's the 60GB iPod, then I would definitely say to go for it. Paying around $325 worth for something that would probably still go for around $350 to $375 in it's current state is a total deal.

Then again, that isn't factoring in how much actual usage you get out of the PSP compared to how much you would get out of the iPod. If the PSP is sitting on your desk gathering dust and you've wanted an iPod for a while, again, go for it. But if giving up the PSP for anything is something you're weary about, it will be a little tougher decision.

It's all on how much you think the PSP is worth, the size of the iPod, and your personal preference, bro.

thanks for all the replies, and I have the 1st generation iPod that I still use but its old. I really never use my PSP so I think it might be worth it, Ill try to reason with the price a little.

disagree. Got it and love it, picture is pretty dang good considering how small the thing is. And plus with Videora and DVD decrypter, you can put any dvd on there you want. Tried it out the other day and it was great.

If I downloaded movies/t.v shows off of Limewire could i like drag the files to the iPod? If I could put movies on there then that would be cool. And do you think I would get bored with it after a while? I dont travel much but I love to listen to music and being able to watch my favorite shows when I want woould be cool to.

Never saw the appeal of the video iPod's either. I wouldn't want to watch a video on a screen that small. I'd rather use a portable DVD player and a cheaper iPod or other MP3 player.
