Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Anyone got the Zune HD, yet?

So, I just ordered the Zune HD 16gb off of ZuneThings.co.uk, and I was wondering if anyone else here has got one yet? I'm mainly looking at JaggedSac + co.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to it arriving, I love the Zune software, and I hated iTunes - so I'm kinda glad that my iPod died.

Also, seeing as this is a sales site, anyone know of how well this thing is doing, and if it's gaining any of the pie for the Zune brand?

I was going to wait, too, but my iPod finally (thankfully) bit the bullet recently, so I divulged, I've paid quite a large price for what it is, but I don't mind.

Can you get any radio on it over here?



 

I may get one, I need more memory and I've been looking for something new besides the iPod.

We can get the basic FM radio. But the "HD Radio" (which is the American branding for "digital radio") doesn't work because of different standards.

Yeah I figured as much, I reckon it'll launch sometime in the summer, if it hasn't and there is no sign of a 2010 christmas release then I'll buy one online!

How large is your current iPod's storage? Because if you're looking for largest storage, the Zune HD certainly isn't the place to go. Max size 32gb, you can get an iPod Touch for 64gb. But storage isn't an issue for me.

my zune hd 32 gig is hidden in the house somewhere... my wifey got me it for xmas... I WANT IT NOW!!!

by the way I have found a way to hack a proper zune account in the UK... so you can use the marketplace and all other features properly. my zune software and account is up and runnign and waiting for the player. its ridiculously easy.

I changed my region settings to the USA, which unlocked a load more features in the Zune software, I'm guessing that I'll need to make another Windows Live Account set in the US to access to Apps, etc, I'll do that when it arrives, though.

I seriously can't wait.



Zune in here have no market at all for some reason, its only about Nokia (its always nokia here) and Ericson (cause of yearly deal sponsorship , not many buy it tbh)
iphone have little marketing but everyone have one, ZuneHD is available at stores, but its really rare to be sold.
