I just got my 32GB Zune...as I speak..it's charging. I'll plug it in on my 360 tonight and see how well it plays with XBL.

It plays well... on a side note it pulls up it's syncing face when you plug it in... hmmm.... just for those who don't know that's what it does when Zune Software is on and it's plugged in otherwise it's just charging and you can use it like normal while it's plugged in



Darn thing is trying to load my porn...argghhhh...no!

It was a tough decision for me between the 32 GB Zune and 64 GB IPod, but the integration to XBL was the tipping point for me...plus all the raves about Zune Marketplace over itunes (which I don't really like).

Hi all... Well i am about to order a Zune HD for import to the UK. I cant put up with iTunes software much longer. Also I am getting an iPhone through work soon anyay and I like to keep my phone and music separate anyway.

Right, I recognise that I wont be able to use hi-def radio (DAB over here) as the standards are different, FM will be fine, wont use radio much anyway. Anything else I miss out on? What about the zune store?

Also I am sure I read somewhere that it has a built in FM transmitter, for in car use - a very nice feature? Is that correct or did I dream it?

I was unaware of the FM transmitter thing, I don't know if it has it or not.  I am also not sure if people other than US can purchase things from the Marketplace.  Basically, I should not have responded, because I really don't have any answers for you.



You can use the regular radio. There is an option to switch between the US, European and one other standard. Don't know if you can buy from the Zune store.



Cant wait for UK release. Sounds like Zune HD has a chance of taking Ipods spot in America. At least with 360 users.



I think it’s easier than it might seem to transform the Zune HD into a gaming platform. Basically, if you look at the Zune HD, it’s pretty darn ergonomically constructed allow it to slot into something to allow it to be turned into a gaming portable. So, all M$ would need to do is design a shell, kinda like the old PSP with the Zune HD functioning as the screen. The shell would have a D-pad and buttons, and maybe even a slot to allow for SD cards or some other form of medium to sell the games at retail. M$ could basically sell the shell for $60-70 bucks, and allow for dedicated gaming functions, which is the current challenge for IPod Touch…what do you’ll think?

It already can get a gaming platform. it has a touch screen and the accelerometer in it. XNA has built in support to use it, so we should see stuff start coming on there in a few months.
