Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm sure the PMP does not play games... If you're looking for an MP3 player that can play games as well have you thought about an Archos Gmini 400? The problem though is that it only comes in 20GB if you're looking for more space...

Erm the iriver H300 is better than an ipod photo in my opinion... It has more functions, better battery life and sound and looks likely to support video playback very soon...

At the moment the games on the PiMP are only 8-bit

As for whether there'll be a H360 or H380 - my guess is that any 60GB and 80GB capacity players will be iRiver's next H Series development, i.e. the H400 series - but don'task me when that'll be

If you're asking my opinion; if you're into music I'd say get the H3XX Series - let's face it, the PiMP can't play Vorbis yet, and has the basic remote, where the H3XX can, and will have its own remote by the end of November. There's also more chance the H3XX will get Gapless (if we 100 Series owners get our way ) ...

If on the other hand Videos are your thing, then the PiMP is the one to go for (with support of all those codecs), since any Video Support on the H3XX Series is likely to be basic, to say the least ... the remote won't matter, since you'll need to be viewing the main screen anyways ...

The PMP was recently reviewed on cnet.com and it only got a lousy 6/10...

Quote:
"Unfortunately, while this PVP offers a stylish, ergonomic design and some compelling features, it comes up short in the one area where a personal video player should excel: video. Because the PMP-120 can't record video directly or sync with Windows Media Player 10.0, you'll have to work overtime to obtain content for the device. What's more, the PMP-120 can't play protected audio content, so you can forget about listening to music purchased online. Add some thoroughly unfriendly controls, and you have one PVP that's difficult to recommend."

I'm sorry, but how does a DA(V)P not being able to sync with WMP10 detract from it's ability to play vids ? . It's a shame, 'cause the point directly preceding it was a valid one - the fact that the PiMP can't record video directly is a biggie ...

Don't even get me started on DRM'ed material - let's just say, one word usually attributes itself to iRiver HDD players - liberty
