I mean if you plan on gaming a lot, then the processor upgrade cannot hurt, but Unspoken spoke it best.
Financially, I am getting a $180 giftcard from bestbuy from my previous mp3 player (should be here this week). I am a high school paper boy lol. My last was a Samsung P2, and I hated that when i went on a short 4h trip I couldn't even fit enough videos for there and back. Music I probably have less than 800 songs. I am a photographer so I would love to have tons of my pictures on the ipod.
Well thats cool that you have the giftcard, but at your age, granted I do not know you, and im playing a little D's A, but maybe you can save that 100$ towards something else, and let the giftcard take most of the bill.
And dont laugh that youre a paper boy. Good for you. You have a job. Be proud of that.
Pictures dont take up much in the ways of storage. Any of your favorite shots you'd like to share?
I don't know, I think the extra storage would be worth it, the 32 is $370 CAN with tax here, and the 8 is $250 w/ tax, so its either pay $70 or $190 (gift card used). Most of my storage would probably be filled with games and videos, music probably taking 2 or 3gb or so. Does the faster speed make a difference? I also get 3 months no payments with bestbuy (I could pay upfront if I had too, my savings account is doing well right now)
And thank you, here are some of my shots.

You mentioned the following:
- playing music
- playing videos
- looking at pictures
You did not say anything about access to App Store or the Internet.
From a pure value/cost point of view the iPod classic 160 GB is the best for what you said. 160 GB for $250 is $1.56 / GB.
If you care about games and access to the App Store and the Internet, then the iPod touch seems like a better choice. 8 GB will run out very quickly. You want to go for a bigger size to accommodate growth.
Again, from a pure value/cost point of view the iPod touch 64 GB at $399 is better value than the 32 GB at $299, which is better value than the iPod touch 8 GB at $199. $6.23 / GB vs. $9.34 / GB vs. $24.88 / GB.
The iPod touch 32 GB or 64 GB are also better value than the iPod touch 8 GB because of the improved CPU and GPU.
The numbers do not lie.

I actually care about the app store and internet, and would be a major point for me. I love portable internet, and youtube.
IMO, you should get at least the 32GB. i used to have a 30GB iPod 5th generation and i hardly used any space on it so i thought 8GB would be plenty of space and it was until the App Store came out. now it's just not enough and if i were to get another iPod touch it would either be a 32GB or 64GB. the space runs out a lot faster than you think it would.
See? That's what I am talking about. A real camera! Not the puny things that come with the iPod nano or the iPhone.
