Can you pros answer me these questions ? It will determine if I will buy it or not.

Is the Zune marketplace out in Canada?
Is HD radio available in Canada?
It has games like forza 3, but do you think therewill be APPS liek Ipod?

If not, Ipod touch for Christmas!

Is the Zune marketplace out in Canada? - Not yet. It was supposed to be but somethign fucked up launch plans

Is HD radio available in Canada? - Yes it is. If you go to Best buy here in canada and are buying a deck for your car, they will always try to upsell you to one with HD radio capabilities.

It has games like forza 3, but do you think therewill be APPS liek Ipod? - Absolutely yes. Maybe not at first but by christmas time you will be able to play beer pong with your Zune HD.

"In addition, the Zune Marketplace has begun including free apps in the store, and will be releasing more soon and several 3D games. Pinero says that an internal team will manage app approval and that the emphasis here will be on quality over quantity."

well since most itunes songs are now DRM free , yep

What about older stuff that I bought before they made everything DRM free?  Do you know if it's retroactive?

I'm sure the songs update when you connected to the store after it happened. Try using the songs on your 360 or PS3. If they work, your fine

I am in the process of installing the new software. It does not appear that apps are available yet.



^^Maybe it's accessable through the Zune. I should have my Zune by lunchtime.

^^They have a tab under marketplace. My marketplace is currently down though so I cannot see what apps are available.



From what I've heard, it comes with a calculator and weather app pre-loaded, along with some free games.
