The Dark Knight Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 [spoiler=inb4 attention seeking]My birthday is coming up. I have either a choice between an 8GB iPhone or a video game which would be Dead Island on the 360, more than likely. I've currently got about 5.5GB of music on iTunes and I get about 150 new songs over the course of a year. I already have a phone and an iPod, but I wanted the iPhone because it's more compact and just all around better. I don't know what to get. So...I ask you, YCM, to compare the uncomparable. Which one should I get? Which one would your rather get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mew 2.0 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 the question isnt which, the question is which FIRST. I suggest the almighty knowledge of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Remo S. Valentine Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 If I were you, I'd get Dead island You already have a phone and an Ipod There's no need to waste money one something you basically have versus wasting it on something totally new ... or you could watch walkthroughs and get the phone But I would get the damn game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 People actually buy things from Apple? I thought smartphones with internal memory (or even SD cards, really) completely made iPod Touches obsolete. The other iPods have been obsolete, and MacBooks suck. And the iPhone... well, I like my Android phone a lot more, and it clearly has more functionality than an iPhone. From my standpoint, get the game. And chuck your phone and your iPod to get a smartphone that does both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 The iphone now. Wait until the game drops in price, like it will in a few months, then get it. *Gets his cake, and eats it too* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Get the game. Apple sucks. Yeah, I have an iTouch, but I'll be selling it/blowing it up as soon as I get some other way to listen to music on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Get Dead Island, then save your money and get an android phone. iPhone is more a fashion accessory then anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Icyblue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Get neither, seriously. For your birthday? Get something that will last, not something that requires a new device in order to be considered "upgraded", and I use that phrase generously because Apple is only good for the extremely casual people, programmers with a certain mindset, or artists with a lot of commissions (and dont use bridge programs). It's only music anyway, it's not important. And if you want a game? Sure, I get them all the time but they're luxury items and nothing more. Hell, if you can get that amount. Why not pick up something to start a new hobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Neither. Both are garbage. Tell your parents you want a car instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'tyleR Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Out of those two choices, the iPhone, simply because it's more expensive to save up and buy than Dead Island, which will only be $60. Plus, in the long run, you can sell the iPhone for more profit than Dead Island, which will drop down considerably in about 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 After careful deliberations, I have decided to go with Dead Island. My reasoning was basically the same as my original concerns I had in my OP; I have 5.5GB+ of songs right now and an 8GB iPhone probably wouldn't cut it in the long run and I can survive off my phone/iPod combo for a few months more and just snag a 32GB iPhone for christmas. Plus, I'm kind of suspicious that my parents got me a car, as they usually spend alot more than around $50 for my birthday. Anyway, all helpful suggestions (except for the Apple hate spam) was appreciated. And to Yankee and 'raiN, the only reason I didn't do that instead is because there is a metric s***-ton of games coming out around the end of November that I'm going to be asking for christmas and Dead Island would never even begin to make that list, despite how much I want to play it. To IcyBlue, well, to start I love your sig, but back on track, what kind of hobby would you have me start? There's none that strike me as terribly interesting that I'm not already involved in. And besides, the few hobbies that I would be interested in don't need money to support them, like parkour or writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
