Is it worth it? (Please read and give your opinion!)

[Jessedarko]

This is for all of you who either a) have the iPod photo b) have the latest video iPod or c) have had both.

My dad bought our family a Powermac g5 right before the quad-processor ones came out (in September). With this purchase if you bought a iPod you got some rediculous rebate, so I got the 60gb iPod for $150 after rebate. This was two weeks before the video and the quad-blablabla Power Mac's came out.

Needless to say I was a bit annoyed, Oh well...
Now I'm starting to use my iPod more (I barely used it at first) and I was debating selling my iPod photo on ebay and getting a iPod video. Is this a lucrative and vain choice or are the iPod videos acctually fun enough to make the switch over? On ebay the latest 60gb iPod Photo prices seemed to be $300-$350. So I'd be spending $50-$100 (give or take a little) to get a 60gb iPod Video.

Opinions, comments, advice, ect... PLEASE GIVE!!!

Well it depends do you wanna watch videos on your ipod as in movies and tv shows if not the do nothing and keep your photo ipod.Trust me unless you watch a lot of tv shows it is not worth it.

Can you put .avi's or TRANSFER .avi's or .mpg's to required format for iPod? I have a few films on my computer that are in .avi or .mpg form that I'd like to watch on my iPod but I dunno if I can.

Any help/tips/opinions?

if you think you will really use the video feature, go for it! plus you get more battery life, and a slimmer size. just be sure to cover up with a case or IS to prevent scratches!!!!

Thanks for the tips.

Newmie66, I see that you have 3 different iPods. May I ask why? What's the point? That's almost a grands worth of $$$ spend on iPods.
