How to Purchase Games for a 5th Generation iPod
The fifth-generation iPod is also referred to as the "iPod Video." It is a discontinued product that has since been replaced with the iPod Classic. It was the first iPod that could use its screen to play videos in addition to music. Though it cannot download and run any of the thousands of applications in iTunes' App Store, a section of the iTunes Store is set aside for purchasing games that will work on the fifth-generation iPod.
