Actually, the mp3 is better, cause it comes with usefull software. The xgamer just comes with some crapy games that are like a year old anyway. You can get the mp3, and dload all the damn games you whant from warez sites, or irc warez (poloris). Also the games that come with it arent expensive anyway. Unfortunately I got the xgamer cause some guy bught it new, and didn't whant to return it, so he traded me for a 15gb hard drive.
