I'm going to ask for an iPod for Christmas but I don't know which one. I look at the iTouch and almost start crying as soon as I see it in action but then I look at the price for how much memory you are getting wipe my tears and close the page. The classic I can get a TON of memory for a fairly cheap price but I have had a video for about a year now and I think it's time for a refreshment. I don't want to feel like I'm being irresponsible for getting one knowing full well that I really am being jipped but its just so cool. I have about 5.5 gigs of music or 1,500 songs and I like to have a few videos on there would the 8 gig model be enough? Any thoughts on this? Which is the better buy?

You're not getting jipped, flash memory in sizes like that make the price in the right range. Add that to the touchscreen and wi-fi as well as all the features and I think the prices for the touch models are okay. If you have 6 gb of music it would be a waste to get the 80 gb classic in my opinion. I would go for the 8gb if your music isn't growing that fast, and the 16 gb if you want more movies and your music collection is growing.
