562772 2007-06-25 09:05:00 iPOD for what it does people pay too much gum digger (6100)
562773 2007-06-25 09:08:00 Easily the Ipod is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced. Next would be xbox/psIII. Myth (110)
562774 2007-06-25 09:48:00 The iPod range is overpriced.

The PS3 is overspecced, and thus, too expensive.

562775 2007-06-25 10:28:00 PS3 easily. Okay, its a Blu-Ray player fine but jeez I mean you can get those for like $399 in the US so what's the point? beeswax34 (63)
562776 2007-06-25 10:31:00 I say the iPod range too, Creative are not really overpriced compared to iPods... and they support more video filtypes/codecs.

And as Mets said the PS3 is way overspeced which is why it is so expensive (not all that much over priced IMO)

I'd say that is a fair call. Although you could ask which is the best quality video codec worth supporting? But that is just my 2 cents.

562778 2007-06-25 11:05:00 But on an iPod, how the hell are you going to see the difference in quality that much?

The screen is wayyyy to small to notice (Vid ipods I mean)

562779 2007-06-25 11:13:00 From what I have read you do notice some difference in quality between codecs and rip bit rates. Ideally the video capable iPod is actually design as a device to enable video to be portable and to be displayed on a bigger screen rather than solly on the iPod especially considering what happens to image files when you try to enlarge them - hence the reason for the on going development of the h.264 codec.
It also helps to have access to a large selection of down loadable video content from the iTunes store - something that is really only available in the US so far.
