Now, the gaming library is certainly nice, because this is a mainstream system, but imo, you'd get a better value with a free Pearl and a DS or a PSP. Much better gaming and multimedia.
Does the iPhone still require you to repurchase your MP3s through a proprietary store? Get a Sony walkman. Great advice to any potential iPod customers. |

Geez sure is early in the day for the winner of least informed comment of the day. I'm always impressed when people posit an opinion (Apple stuff is overpriced) and then totally undermine themselves by saying something totally untrue and obviously made up simply to prove their point. The fact that nobody else called you on this just goes to show that people will believe anything if it agrees with their pre-existing bias. Let me straighten this out.
The iPhone has never required people to buy all their music again. Not on launch day, and not today. It never happened. I've heard the same FUD spread about the iPod as well from people who would rather be ideological than right. Kinda hard to trust the opinion of somebody who is unwilling to inform themselves the least bit on the topic they are discussing.
Next time before you give advice make sure you didn't just make it up.

...ok. It's people like you that make me get banned, lol.
Do you know what a question mark indicates at the end of a sentence?
It means I asked a question. I wasn't trying to prove a point. I was asking a question. Sure, it was ill-informed, but I claim no knowledge on the subject. I don't own an iPhone, because it is, imo, vastly overpriced with far less features than my Blackberry. You might think my question was misleading, or ignorant, but it wasn't a "statement" it was a question.
You could have answered it fairly and informed me of my mistake. Instead you flamed me. Nice move.
My original assertion was an opinion. I clearly labeled it. I believe Apple stuff is overpriced.(imho means "In My Humble Opinion")
As for the walkman, you get better sound quality(an opinion shared by every reviewer that I've read, but still an opinion) for a much cheaper pricetag.
I think your motivation was anger over an uninformed question about a product that you enjoy, and that's fine, but don't speak to me anymore. Stop flaming people for asking questions and giving their opinions. I asked because I didn't know. You could have told me the right answer to that. You didn't. You flamed my question, and me. Thank you.
As for my advice, I think people should take it. Compare an iPhone or an iPod or a Mac to another product of equal price without the logo and see how the specs stack up.
