$400 Yo-Yo or an iPod?

Reinventing the Yo-Yo: Science News Online, April 17, 2004

The last time I bought a yo-yo was a few years ago. The Playmaxx Turbo Bumblebee was my favourite model. Their Pro-Yos were also fun. Apparently, Duncan wisely bought Playmaxx not too long ago. (More details anyone?) I'm a little sad at this news, but I hope the Duncan Bumblebee will be as sweet as the original.

However, if you have $400 burning a hole in your pocket, and you want some serious sleep capabilities, Duncan may well have the answer. I honestly don't know who would buy a $400 yo-yo, but I guess it will be the same 40-50 year olds who buy original Les Pauls as show pieces.

Assuming you had rich and generous friends, which would you rather receive: a Duncan Freehand Mg or a 20G iPod?
