I am fairly certain the DSi can do all of them too :P Actually, it has one up on the Touch and that's the camera. But I'd choose the Touch if I had to, but that's because I've already got a DS though the Touch has nothing on music and video capability with my MP3 player anyway. Apple dropped music standards in favour of looks and functionality, if the play around I had with a friend's touch is anything to go by.Quote:

Another plus is how thin it is. Only down sides are there’s no memory card slot and that you have to pay like 20-30 quid to get a case for it.
Tbh if you want something for gaming don’t go for a hand held console, if you want something fun to play, pretty easy to get into and great fun with family and friends get a Wii + Wii fit, if its more hardcore gaming go for a 360 or PS3.
Yeah but once again you haven't justified why the iPod Touch is really good, you think it's really good but it really isn't, certainly not £270 well spent. The 32GBs can't hold that much movies and music, especially when there's a cheaper 120GB iPod classic.Quote:

My friend has a touch and while it is slightly overpriced, its versatility and sheer elegance can make up for it. I played with it a bit and everything just works so well, loads of thought has gone into the UI and it shows. I'd even argue that it's easier to navigate through music than the classic because of the flick scrolling and the relative accuracy of using your finger as opposed to a wheel.Quote:

He didn't say there's only one game worth buying at all. He said he's only bought one game. There's a massive difference.Quote:

Ive already got a Wii and WiiFit at £60, nah.
Also my Ipod Nano just broke :( Also my normal DS is fine but a bit old.
Anyway, i can't buy both because its for birthday and the rest of my money is used for wii games. Although not sure if i should get Xbox360.
Tricky but i wanna get the Ipod Touch but for some reason just cos there are so many new things on the DSi i am curious.
Tricky decision.
Will :eusa_danc
Xbox 360 beats them all (cause' you posted above you wanted a 360?)
But yeah, iPod Touch is better than the DSi, I have the DSi, and tbh I am very disappointed with it.
I wouldn't buy the iPod Touch for gaming, period. I would only buy the DSi if I didn't have a DS. Well, I wouldn't buy it anyway because I recently sold my DS – I don't get time to play with it.
To draw an over-simplified distinction, the iPod Touch (albeit a fantastic piece of kit) is a glorified music (and to some extent video) player with minigames. I'll never accept the iPod Touch as a true gaming device in its current incarnation. The DSi (like the DS) is open to a huge library of titles. And guess what? It has buttons!
It depends on you, ultimately. Would you use it often? Would you use it for only a few minutes here and there? Do you like deep immersive titles which can take your attention for well over 30 hours? Is the music more important than the gaming? Is size an issue? These are all personal questions, and only you can decide them.
Well, the DSi does all of those 3 thingsQuote:
