I got to play around with one and from what I could tell, it was better than the iPod in almost every way. Bigger screen, customizable background, sexy and durable as hell (honestly, i think it's scratchproof) and the same price as the iPod. I know they sold like hotcakes during christmas, just wanted to see if anyone here has one, if so..what are your opinions on it?
I've got one in the mail that should be here tomorrow, so I'll post pics and give my review on it in a few hours :thumbsup:

I'm just gonna rock my nano until it dies or I break it. Then I'll consider getting one.

Probably still get the K5 over a Zune, but Zune looks cool too.

I got a brown one, it freaking rocks! Way better than my friends ipod.

lol.. those are so retarded. Terrible idea.

What color do you have? Brown, offgray, or babyshit green?

mxracerbrian

heard they are nice. a good buddy of mine at work has one and he really likes it

MyFirstCamaro

i have used it at the local EBgames its a lot bigger then the ipod

Wow, that's an ignorant post.
How is it a retarded idea? Why wouldnt microsoft want to get in on the huge mp3 market? What is retarded about someone finally making a product better than the boring same old iPod? Also, have you ever seen them at all? They colors are very obviously black, white and brown...and don't knock the brown one, it's selling better than the white one.

it will be a hit with vista. having everything work with eachother by the same company isnt a bad idea at all. just like the 360....vista detects my 360 and since theyre the same manufacture, they sync so easily. you can share files, movies, pics, songs or whatever

ill get a zune come spring time to check it out and give it a wirl. ill still keep the ipod cause i love it but ill try out a zune for a bit

Ill stick with my iPod.. Its thinner and theres really no need to change the background on a mp3 player.. And if thats the case my phone can hold 500 songs and I can change the background on it..

Brown looks like ****. simple as that.

And yea I have seen them... Thats why I commented on their colors because thats all I can take out of my experience with them.

Maybe they should have come up with somthing more attractive... As far as their finally 'jumping into the market'... Theyre worse than the PS3 jumping in a year later than the 360. Definitly missed the train.

I guess research/development, and production are supposed to just take place overnight or what?

Appearantly...apple beat microsoft

Zune store sucks
Zune software sucks.

The player is alright...but seriously...i'd take an ipod of the two.
I've got both plugged into my computer right now so i've had a chance
to mess with 'em both.

Seriously?? who gives a rip about a customizeable background??


Now...
The zune has it's pluses, i'm not gonna be completely ignorant here.
The screen looks great.
But i'm seriously not a fan of the XBLA style "points" system for purchasing music. That's rediculous. Throw a freakin price tag on there so i can just buy the song and know what i'm paying for it.

The zune software feels rather neanderthal compared to itunes (but i don't like itunes either).

And last i heard, the zune doesn't even work with vista!
ONLY on windows xp!
That's right, that laptop that's running windows 2000 for your business and you can't upgrade...sol buddy...


What suits one man's fancy is another's not-fancy...

Also, there are rare pink zunes about...they're packaged in normal zune boxes...think you're getting a white one?? maybe not. lol maybe it's pink!
(but i think they're selling really well on ebay...cuz they're rare)

Anyways...my thoughts.
Go play with 'em...see what oyu think.
make sure you got windows xp if you want to put songs on it.

Aaaaand...make your own decision.
(mine lies with the ipod, for now)
