Each movie takes up about 2/3rds of a gigabyte. Given all of that, I thought it made sense to get the largest capacity iPod possible.
I bought the 60gig from B&H for around $380, no tax and shipping of about $6.
Thanks, what does "B&H" stand for? Also, are there any dangers in purchasing a previously owned iPod. I've found one in almost perfect condition for $300 (I think he'll take $250). It's a 4 month old 60GB version with a power adapter.
