ipod or mp3 player?

i want and ipod but there a little pricy and i want a portable dvd player also but all together thats about 300 dollars. i've been saving every cent i get for months but i only got about 125 dollars. should i get a cheap mp3 player and a portable dvd player or try to get a ipod and a portable dvd player?

my zen v is an awesome MP3 if u want 1G u can get it around $100 or if u want 2G i guess u can still buy it with ur budget
