What should I spend my cash on?

[WutangFlu]

i got $310ish to spend, and I cant decide what to get....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i was thinking a 30gig video iPod, a bass guitar, a wacom tablet, or a Canon Powershot A620 camera., or something i can use for a long time, that will be usefull and i wont regret buying...

30 gig iPod video. Guitar, you might start to hate, i dont know what that tablet thing is. But a iPod you can always change (songs) and you can take it everywhere.

I wouldn't get the tablet unless you're really devoted to drawing on the computer. The novelty wears off in about a minute, and they're pretty difficult to use well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

iPods are good, but make sure you don't get a small one and then think "bah, this now seems too small, and I am frustrated that I cannot fit all the things I want to on it".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A camera: that's a good idea, as long as it's a good camera. I mean, everyone should have a camera; if you don't already have one, I'd get that -- you may not use it every day, but it's worth having. If you do already have a camera, make sure this one is much better than your current one (unless you're a photography buff and a small increase in quality is worthwhile, in which case use your own discretion, of course).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure about a guitar -- I've never tried playing one. If you know it's something you want to do (play guitar) then go for it. If you're not too sure, try learning on a friend's guitar first, then, if you like it, get one.

MP3 players a very useful in college and beyond, I recommend having one if you have over 1 Gig of songs. Be sure to look at different brands too.

My old 3G iPod was the best purchase I've ever made I think, and now the new one (with video) that I got is even better. If it was me since I have an iPod though, I'd get a nice digital camera. Both are good choices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you don't already play guitar I don't see that being the most practical thing to spend money on, and a wacom tablet might be cool but just doesn't entertain me as well as anything else.

Go with the iPod, no doubt

[dogtag_dez]

mp3 players are always good. cameras are always good when u need them. tablets aren't always worth shelling out that much for. and bassists are always strange... :|

[AThousandLies]

You won't get a good bass for that much.

I think the only high end thing he could get with $300 is the mp3 player, everything else would be low-mid end. (Being a photography buff myself, nice digital cameras do cost a bit closer to $1000 for non-professional than most people would care to like..)
