Not sure what to do here, I would like to hear a few opinions.
I have an 8GB Ipod touch that I got for free. (won in a raffle)
I broke it right off the bat, ran over it with a golf cart, I got it repaired for ~$100.00.
Well, I broke it again and I am really not sure what I want to do about it.
A) Spend another $100.00 and get the digitizer replaced again.
B) Spend a few more dollars and upgrade to a larger Ipod.
C) Spend my money on a different system (Zune or other) and lose what I've spent in Apps for the Ipod.
Assuming I can convert the music and movies for use on another system.

You are the one making it hard! How the hell do you run over it with a golf-cart?!?!? I don't know about the Touch's, but the ol Ipods are very durable. I had mine fell to the ground hard like a million times and still works flawlessly. I would say get the 16/32GB Ipod Touch, lol =P.

How about B and E? Answer E: Skip the touch and get a Ipod Classic. They are quite durable, not able to take a gold cart mind you  , but should be able to handle most other things.
This is my Setup: Motherboard: Asus P5Q3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 at 2.83 mhz RAM: 2 x DDR3 Patriot Viper 1 GB Sticks at 664 mhz (7-7-7-20) Graphics Card: EVGA 9800 GT 512 MB at 650 Core clock/ 1619 mhz Shader Clock/ 950 mhz mem clock PSU: Antec Neopower 550 Watts Case: Antec Three Hundred Hard Drive: Western Digital ? 500gb

You could check out Archos' new players :) I'm buying one when I decide it's time to go beyond an Ipod!

Depending on how much music/movies you have I'd upgrade to a newer Ipod touch. I've had 1 touch, 1 iphone, and atleast 4 regular ipods and all of them are still working many years later. But I don't run over mine too often

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with (B) Lovin' all the breathing room with the 64GB Touch  I was always shuffling things around with the 8GB.
