Question: Is it better to buy the 30 gb or the 60 gb?

The 30 GB iPod is physically slimmer--a nice feature. It has identical function as the 60 GB and it is cheaper. It comes down to deciding how much of your music you need with you at any time--30 GB is a lot (enough to listen 24 hours a day for about 3 weeks before repeating). If you prefer to have your entire collection with you always and can't live without that, then choose the 60. Otherwise the 30 GB makes more sense.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

Given how the sellers on Amazon are trying to rip off everyone by charging so much more for this product I'd say just buy the 256gb model elsewhere. (Microcenter, Microsoft, Best Buy)

I bought the 32 gig. depends on your collection. I stream a lot of msic so I don't use a lot of space.

Great question. Simple answer, performance will be about the same, so go with the lower cost with higher reliability drive. For me, the choice was easy as it was quite a bit cheaper than the 7,200 models. A year later, I still love this little drive so I don't think you will have any issues if you follow in my tracks.

The nano's are more reliable than the Classic versions. My old 60GB failed 3 times over the course of 4yrs while my 2nd gen Nano has never failed and I've had it for 3yrs.I have this 120GB Classic now though and it's been going strong for 6 months.

I purchased the 30gb ipod and had all sorts of songs (over a 1200), movies (at least 15), tv shows(over 25) podcasts (countless) and games. I then realized 30gb wasn't enough for me so i'm going to purchase the 80gb. I guess it depends on the individual. I hope this helps!

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

I would save the $100 and buy the 30GB model. Spend the saved $$ on some decent headphones! I have about 2300 songs on my 30GB and have only used about 10GB so far. I also have several hundred photos loaded on it. The camera connector is awesome for traveling.

Depends on what you want to run. 8GB is plenty for high-end gaming at the moment.

Haha yes just be sure you have the 250 gb option selected. I know they merge various versions under the same reviews so just be careful.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs.Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

Well, it depends on what you are looking for. I have the 30GB iPod with video, and I love it. If you are looking for space go with the 30GB, but if you are looking for something extra sleek and portable, go with the Nano. I am relatively new to the iPod craze as well, so I know why you are going through the back and forth with this. Just decide if you want obscene amounts of space or sleek portability.

Hello, The difference is Memory size, the 256MB can handle less than 512MB, you need to buy what you need computer to do for you, for example, if you do just browsing the internet some home work and banking you are ok to buy the 256MB, if you do more than that like games then you better to go with 512MB or even more, hope that answer your question, Thanks

$100 more bucks for an extra 28~gigs? ouch. might as well just buy the 32gb edition and then pick up a Sandisk 128gb SD card that comes out soon (yes, it's compatible) and get more for your money. just my opinion though!

The 7.2 has 58MB of memory; the 6.0, 32MB. For most people, this won't matter, as you'll be using a memory stick anyway, but...

If they'r enot going to jump straight to 150GB or more, why even bother? Solid-state memory has already exceeded 32GB and has MUCH better performance attributes, including durability, energy/battery life, and flexibility.I will hold out for either a 1TB version or 64GB flash disk (or 32GB Flash disk + CF card expansion capability). And forget it if they try to ram some proprietary codec down my throat!
