iPod, Wii, or Zune? Or, neither........?

Question

I am going to be in the market for 1 of these in the next few weeks and I was wondering whether the iPod still was the way to go in MP3 players, or is the Zune the future? Im still not really sure about getting a 'Pod because I had an older one, it got stolen a month after I got it and I dont know if I should invest in this video one or Zune. Or, if you say dont get either, is a Wii going to be worth it? It has "Fad" written all over it or "Novelty Item", so I was thinking of waiting about 6 months, but then I sorta got real interested in it and now I cant decide. Im only going to be able to walk away with 1 and I dont want to make an impulse buy. I am also thinking about just preordering some 360 games, because it will always be my main system.

Answer 1

If you could I would wait for the Wii in a year because a new model would come out and it would be in color and it would be better like the DS lite. But if you are getting something now get an i-pod because in has so much more memory then the Zune.

Answer 2

As far as mp3 players are concerned, I would strongly suggest the Zune, unless you're very picky about sleekness and style. The Zune has a much larger screen and tons of more advanced features like wireless sharing that the current iPod does not have. The Zune is also no more expensive than the iPod at $250. I might wait a little while though, because Apple will have to release a new iPod if they want to compete with the Zune.

Answer 3

Do not get the Zune unless you want to spend the next year beta-testing a microsoft product. Stick with the Ipod for now. I'm doing a write up on the Zune right now, and will be posting it on my blog a bit later. There is already an Ipod review up.

Answer 4

First off, I like to look at systems that will let me play older system games on it, like the PS systems. If the Wii lets you play Game Cube games, then it might be worth wild. However, the main idea that set me off from the Nintendo series was that with each system the games were worthless. Now it seems that each new system lets you play older games. As for a fad, I think its up to each individual person. When I got my PS2, I was told it was corny and worthless compaired the the XBox, but I loved it. Again, to each his own.
Now, as for the IPod, I own one. I think they are great (I have video), but the batterie life isnt the best. I would say by an inexpensive MP3 player if you arent sure and wait to see if somthing better comes out.

Answer 5

I recommend you get the iPod. I saw a kind of interview about the Zune and it was completely ridiculed. See for yourself.

I wouldn't recommend the Wii just yet. Nintendo is most likely going to make it better by next year, adding some new features, making it lighter, etc. I have the 80GB Black iPod video and it has given me absolutlely no problem. The video quality is amazing so I suggest you go with that, at least until the Wii is "upgraded".

Answer 6

Go for the i-pod. The Wii is probably better but money wise and portable wise the i-pod. Plus it holds way more songs and videos if you get the video ipod thann Zune. But its totally your choice.

Answer 7
