So, I plan to buy a Zune HD pretty soon, the 32GB version...mainly because I wanna have a MP3 player as I travel a lot and like my music, as well as watching shows on it during my 1hr lunch breaks at work...

Just wanted to know how its been doing since its release last year, as far as apps, games, the community, etc. Is it a good investment and will have lots to offer me? I know I can do my own research but I'd rather have personal thoughts from you owners....thanks!

As far as apps, there are only a handful, maybe 40ish total of games and other apps.  But as far as an MP3 player goes, I love it!  I also go the 32GB version and it's been amazing.  Great sound quality, responsive touch screen, web browser, HD Radio, and the games it has are great!  The real gem of the Zune is the Zune Pass.  The Zune software absolutely annihilates the iTunes stone age interface when it comes to being a media player and marketplace.  With Zune Pass you get unlimited song downloads a month for $15 a month, plus 10 songs you get to keep for life each month.  So if you buy 10 songs a month it is basically $5 for unlimited music for as long as you are subscribed!!!

Sounds good! One reason why I wanted the Zune HD over the iTouch was the price, heard the Zune is cheaper but I haven't done research, but yeah want it mainly for music and watching shows and I've heard good things...and judging by what you're saying seems like a solid choice.

I got a bunch of mp4/avi shows on my laptop, would I have to convert them to watch on the Zune or I can put them right in?
