I was roaming around thinking about a new IPOD, but then I stumbled upon this.
"Microsoft Zune 30GB Media Player - Black "
Description: Zune starts with a 30GB digital media player and adds a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures or your home-grown tracks directly from Zune to Zune. You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you like and easily buy them the next time you sync up. You can discover new music in the Zune Marketplace, and show off your favorite pictures and videos on the big, bright screen. Zune has all that and a built in FM tuner, too. Let your inner DJ run wild
Price Range: $228.99 - $277.94

Does anyone think it worth it. Price wise its cheaper then the big IPOD, bc I was thinkin about that one to watch videos

Yea. On paper. SOUNDS AMAZING. im waiting for the reality check. Im gonna wait till my b-day for any decision (feb 19). But i hope it puts Ipod + itunes to shame becuase that was the biggest scam america has seen.

I would like to see it in real life to see how heavy and the size of it, I wonder if they will have the libary that itunes has (even though there are songs I looked for that they didn't have )

Oh, also. Its a LOT better imo, dont trust anybody on the review sites because chances are they are biased ipod fan boys. Try and try one out yourself. Im sure you will like it.

The only downside I can see when I read about it in Stuff mag is how you can't actually give people your music, but you can sort of lend it to them for a bit, and then they have to buy it. I'm always a bit suspicious if there's subscriptions and that invovled. But mine isn't a very good opinion to take account of
kthx

Agreed. You know why that is?

Because the recording company's said 'we are going to sue the shit out of you if you let people share'

yes, thats a shame. But jeez, its not what the entire product is about. It really is a REALLY good media player. and its something different.

As a matter of fact I DO support it. Look, I just want people to know that its good to base your opinion on the product itself. Is that fair?

Yes it's fair, but it's also fair to have a preference for the iPod based on your experience of it. You can't tell people not to trust reviews of something because they're "fan boys" when your review and recommendation to buy the Zune is clearly biased.
