120 GB iPod what generation?

Question

120 GB iPod what generation?

Hi,
I purchased three 120 GB from Amazon.com. The ad tells me they are sixth generation. I looked at the review on cnet.com and they say second generation.
I'm confused as to what the different generations can do. Would someone please help a newbie? Also the new 120 GB should be the same reguardless of where they are purchased correct?
Thanks,
mimi

What they probably mean is the 120GB is the 6th gen iPod and the 2nd gen of the iPod Classic.

It's worth noting that Apple don't refer to it as either.

Thanks Jeff... so my next question is what can't I use on it as far as purchases from iTunes. I've read where some of the games and video rentals don't work on certain generations? How do I know if they are talking about iPod generation or iPod classic generation? I really am blond...
Thanks,
mimi

You're fine with the 120GB iPod Classic as far as purchases and rentals from iTunes are concerned.

Some games and all rented movies won't play on the 5th gen iPod, but you don't have one of those.

Also, games purchased for the 5th gen won't play on the iPod Classic, but again, that's not a concern for you.
