They've had to redesign the Nanos cuz of its capacity problems and want to give it more. The MP3 players called Sun Disc or something like that, had more space than Nanos up til now I think. I was going to buy Tetris for my iPod, then changed my mind. The price seems a bit too high, and I could save that money for more songs.  |

If you want to have any sort of life, avoid it. I already have a thumb cramp... I may get Pac Man, too. I'll have to stick quarters in the dock connector to give it that real arcade feeling. |

i've an iPod video, can you just buy the games from iTunes, and put it on any iPod Video? As far as I know, yeah. You need to update your iTunes to v. 7.0 (I'm on a Mac, so it's easy through Software Update) and then plug in your iPod. iTunes will see your iPod and you have to update that to the latest iPod software, v. 1.2. After that, just go the Music Store and look under games. There are 9 of them for sale. After you download one, sync the iPod with iTunes games and play. You can't play the games on the computer, though--only the iPod itself. The nice thing about updating your iPod to v.1.2 is, besides support for games, it also puts another feature in the settings to adjust the screen brightness. Saves battery life. |

I have a mac too, i think the new look is awesome, does it look the same on a windows PC? ie. different categories for music, movies, tv shows and podcasts, and the ipod summary thing, and the new blue icon is the best lol. and my 60GB is out of date now.  |

Sorry, I'm a cheap college student. ;D But I read some ser reviews for Tetris on iTunes that said the controls feel "weird." One user review for Namco's Pac-Man says that the classic is "difficult to control." They do look cool, but when I have more money I might get 'em. |

Personnally, I have to convert my video files in mp4. I use a softwear, AVS video converter which is pretty easy to use, but it's not free  |
