Did you purchased that iPod because you were convinced by the store that it had the same performance as the real 3rd Gen iPod ?
If it's a "yes", I'm afraid you've been duped by the seller.
No matter what you answer might be, here's the fact :
- iPod touch 8GB in late 2009 is an updated version of the iPod touch in late 2008
- iPod touch 32/64GB in late 2009 is a new version of no previously released iPod
As you can see in picture below (it was Apple online store back in January 2010) : https://i.sstatic.net/40qof.gif
- Apple had made no changes to the 8GB models except updated its iOS to iOS3 for free.
- But Apple made new 32GB iPods with faster performance including gaming.
Hence, this is the official advertisement made by Apple and I still confused why a lot of Authorized stores still making the same mistake since I'm victimized here too.
Finally, you iPod does not support gaming because it's not a 3rd Gen iPod, its an updated/refurbished/re-released iPod touch 2nd Gen.
