After a year and a half, I finally like the silver iPod classic enough to add it to my collection, and though not needed (I have six or seven iPods) I would like to replace my old beat up 5th gen in my car and make the new classic my car whore iPod.
Speaking of my collection, in the form factor of the classic iPods, I already have both a black 5th gen and a white 5.5 gen iPod, both 30 gigs.
Living in rural Japan, where technology advances and reaches the shores slowly, I can still purchase either a 160 gig classic or a 120 gig classic, brand new. Regardless, I don't need even 50 gigs of harddrive space, as my collection of music is maybe 15 gigs (I don't just copy every album to my computer, only songs I actually like).
I kind of want the 160 gig just because already having two 30 gig ipods, sizewise the 120 would feel much the same but I think the fatness of the 160 would be more comfortable to me, but of course it is more expensive.
Keeping in mind I don't *need* either (but can justify it), which would you get and why? I ask because I hear people speaking about the 160 gig being old technology and more prone to failure, curious if this is true that one is more reliable than the other. I also am aware that new iPods are around the corner, but that doesn't bother me.
