Hey Guys.
First of all, I would like to respond back to the Graphics Card Thread I Made. Decided to wait for a laptop and when the prices drop, I will get a nice graphic card for this older system.
Now, realizing that, I do have room and saved up enough cash to buy something. I'm deciding on a MP3 player and narrowed down to these 3 options
Creative Zen 8GB - $200

Microsoft Zune 80GB - $250

iPod nano 8 GB - $200

Primarily, I will be using it for music but I do have room to put videos on it. These players and small and compact to fit into my pocket That's y each of these 3 players can both play videos.
Q: Which should I But. I'm looking one that will last long and it's reliable. Any inputs would be great.

how much stuff do you plan on putting on it?
i recommend the zune, mainly b/c it is cheaper. note i dont own any of the above three myself

I have an old style creative zen, I'd definatly go for the one that suits you most though, I have a 20gig oldstyle zen and it's sound quality is amazing, I've listened to tracks on ipods and compared to the zen the quality is poor.
i don't know anything about zune since they aren't big in the market in england, it's either creative or ipod here.

Zune, ****ing 80gb compared to 8, and the sound is great if you have high quality music, which you would have more room for on the zune.

TY guys. Well I don't plan on using a lot of space, thats y I went for 8GB players, because they are small enough to fit in my pocket. I wanted to buy a Zen Vision:M last year but didn't have the money. Now, these are my better options to chose from.
Might end up getting a Zune, because it has better features then the ipod classic and I dont wanna spend $300-$400 for the iTouch since there will be a better one the year after with more space.
Ty guys.

ty guys for the comments as after 2 months, my report card came in (2 A's and 3 B+'s). i have narrowed my decisions
for the zune, its a no-go mainly because ive tested the zune software and its horrible compared to itunes, cant edit easily and no drag-drop feature
the zen: prefer the ipods scroll wheel so its also a no-go
so its down to the itouch (new considerations) and nano, for the classic (also new consideration), i wont be needing 80g. i will probably end up getting a nano because none of the itouch's features impresses me besides youtube.but for costs, i dont want to spend too much. classic is probably the better deal and itouch will probably last longer, but i am towards the nano. small, easy to use music player. 8g for 2000 songs, i can manage. i got a 1000 song collection. for the itunes, will prob be using winamp instead
so thats it, ty guys for the comments and ima look around tomorrow for a purchase. i choosing a ipod because "of its positive rewiews and customer service"
EDIT: 2nd thoughts go out for the 80g classic

Might want to check ebay, just because my friend bought a new zune on ebay for, I think, half the retail price.

Ok I really dont understand you people. Your at your computer everyday but yet you buy a "80gig" portable Mp3|mp4 player. Key word is Portable. and why do you need 80 gigs of music? if every mb = 1 min thats 80,000 mins, thats 55 Days of NON stop playing. Now lets do some more math if your at you computer for a min of 2 hours a day. I know you all are on alot more than that but its a low number. you will have 666.66666666666668 chances to change your songs before you run out of music to lession to.
Im going to jump right to it
"Coby" makes a 256 512 1gig mp3 player i have a 1 gig. Now lets do my math. 1 min per 1 mb = 1000 mins thats 16 hours of non stop music. know i have 8.3333333333 chances to change my songs if i spent 2 hours a day on my computer.
...... long stoy short I spent $20.00 you spend $250.00. Following? Save your Money its music!

Are you really going to spend $200 for 8gb? and the itouch is a major ripoff, buy a PDA you can get more memory and do more with it and spend the same amount of $.
I still cant believe people would spend $200 on a 8gb music player.

bah, i was gonna buy 1 today untili heard this news: SmartPhoneToday: News: Apple May Lower Price of iPhone, iPod Touch Soon
$300 aint bad for 16g, and its a itouch so the features inside of it makeup for the price.
o well, might as well wait longer until this is confirmed
might want to buy a very nice cell phone instead, decisions.

Get something with Windows Mobile 5 or 6, or Palm OS, that way you have a large software base for the device. ITouch just never made sense to me, sorry. Then again neither did Nano's or shuffles.

O yea, 1 few weeks ago I finally picked up a used 30g 5g cideo ipod for $150 because I didn't need 80g but I wanted more then 8g. As for the iPod touch, i'm planning on getting a Nokia n95 which should drop in price and hoping its $400 b4 my birthday on june 27th.
well ty guys for the tips as I picked a larger storage and realized i dont really like switching my music so the larger capacity makes it easier to hold all my music.
