Grammar

going to / will

Hi,

I got confused with a grammar note I read on a book when explaining the use of will and going to. it says:

decisions made at the time of speaking

e.g. I know ! I´ll get Dad a DVD for Christmas.

I know ! I´m going to get Dad a DVD for Christmas.

Why will and going to be used for decisions made at the time of speaking ? Is there any difference in meaning ?

thanks

My try: As far as I know, only "will" is used if yo umake a decision at the time of speaking. "Going to" implies something more planned.
