iPod shuffle: 1GB vs. 2GB Apple recently released a 2GB iPod shuffle. It's selling for $69, while the 1GB version is now $49. If you want to use an mp3 player in the gym or during workouts, the 1GB model holds more than enough songs (about 240) to keep fresh music in your ears for weeks. Skip the 2GB model and get the cheaper 1GB iPod shuffle. |

HDTV: 720p vs. 1080p HDTVs come in two resolutions: 720p and 1080p. Don't worry if you don't know the difference between the two -- it hardly matters. While 1080p is the highest HD resolution available today, the human eye can barely distinguish between the two. If budget is a concern, go with a 720p HDTV. |

MacBook: Pro vs. Air There's all kinds of hype about Apple's new MacBook Air. But given its lack of features compared to the 15" MacBook Pro (which costs the same), only those with a ton of disposable income would opt for the MacBook Air as a secondary machine. If you're planning to only have one laptop, go with the MacBook Pro. |

Playstation 3: 40GB vs. 80GB When choosing which Playstation 3 console to buy, go with the cheapest one. The 80GB PS3 is an excellent machine (costing $599), but the 40GB PS3 is just as formidable and costs $200 less. Unless you're a hardcore gamer, you'll never need the additional hard drive space. Go with the 40GB Playstation 3. |

1. Like your comparison story about electronics...just one thing you might want to put with the PS3 comparison...the 40GB model is not compatible with PS2 games (the 80GB is). While it might not be a big deal to some...it is to people who have plenty of old PS2 games.

2. Another thing to add to the PS3 is the fact that the 80gb is no longer produced.

3. actually the 80 gig was sold out and wasnt being replenished due to the new bundles coming out this summer and the addition of the Dualshock 3 controllers(adds rumble and sixaxis controls together).

4. YES the 80GB PS3 plays PS 2 Games but NOT all games. Just SOME unfortunately. I had to buy my son a PS 2 anyway because of the bigger selection of games and they were cheaper. Now, I just rent the PS2 & PS3 games.

5. Are you crazy? There is a huge difference between 720 and 1080 televisions!! Hook a blu-ray to a 720 and set it next to a 1080 and gurantee you will see a difference. Some research should be done before writing a page telling people not to buy something.
