  1. yeah, as soon as you say you have something different(like a Zune) they're all like " oooohhh, it's not an iPod. If i touch it, will I look poor?" Though I have been getting good comments from people regarding my Zune HD
  2. It costs MS points and not cash. I honestly don't know. I don't get my songs off of the marketplace
  3. So it's a legit site. Sounds to me like this should be closed
  4. They have, It's called Zune Marketplace
  5. Well, in terms of touch MP3 players: 8gb Ipod Touch- 199.00 US 16gb ZuneHD - 199.00 US Those are just the base models
  6. yeah, it's pretty cool. I think it fits better in your hand than the Ipod. Plus it has an FM radio receiver in it, which the Ipod doesn't.
  7. If I'm not mistaken, I think Hoppah doesn't care about that website. I could be wrong though. They've been around for quite some time, so I think if there was a problem, they would have been reported by now..... Actually, I think that's one of the mirror sites
  8. You can't see the "gas" all the time. There are a lot of gasses that are clear and have little to no oder
  9. How did you see that from the midwest???
  10. or you could download it from here instead: http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?showtopic=9436
  11. actually.... yeah. the regular Zune can hold up to 120GB and has a few games to it. http://www.amazon.com/Zune-120-Video-Playe...k/dp/B001EQ0HAW As far as games and apps go, the Ipod like to boast it has 2000000 10^7 apps, but maybe 10 are actually useful.
  12. It's "The Soprano's" dude. And Hoppah already said he hasn't planned for 2.1 yet. That doesn't mean it won't happen, that just means he's run out of ideas.
  13. In the US, SWAT are taught to neutralize the situation and save as many lives as possible. If that means they have to end one life to save others, then, unfortunately, that's what they have to do. They aren't taught to "kill" people as much as they are taught how to save lives
  14. See, I'm not the type of person that wants every song known to man on my player, nor do I want the entire seasons of "Lost" and "the Simpsons" on there either. So I read these reviews: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10309397-49.html http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352978,00.asp http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10356047-49.html They seem to say that the Zune has better quality music over the Ipod touch. Is also performs better with less battery drain. The Zune software is very neat. For those who have never heard of/ had a Zune, the software that comes with it does a LOT more than just play and sync. If you click on a particular song, you can open up a whole web of information. Anything from the artist bio to who they were influenced by is displayed. So, based on that info, I went out and got a Zune HD. I gotta say, it's pretty sweet. I put a friends touch next to it and played the same video and the Zune effortlessly outperformed the Ipod (my friend ended up snatching it back and walked away grumbling about how many apps he had) The only thing that I can see that the Ipod trumps the Zune over is the apps support. Though, I ask you this.... What happened to the days when a music player just played some freakin music? If I got the touch and got a bunch of apps, then what would be the point of flopping down money to get a music player that all I do is play with? Pricewise, I bought the 16gb model for the same price that Apple was selling their 8GB model for. I gotta say, i'm very happy with my purchase. What few apps it has so far are actually worthwhile (and they were free too, another point to the Zune) and the music and video quality is [drool] AMAZING [/drool]
  15. Hooah to that But if you go out with 10 and come back with 11, then someone learned how to asexually reproduce
  16. *Sigh* This wasn't meant to be a flam topic
  17. Don't use your kids as an excuse to get what you want. Jeez EDIT use this http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?showtopic=9436
  18. I've had experience with both, but I'm a little torn between the newest generations. The Zune HD seems to be about power and quality while the Ipod touch seems to be all about freeware and less about music/video quality. So far, I've only owned a Zune so far and I've been very content with it. I started this topic to get meaningful feedback, not just "apple/MS sucks because I don't like them. As for the "MS has crappy this and that", every company has released it's share of flop products (Remember the Apple Cube?) And I haven't used a program yet that didn't work on windows. As Hoppah said, I believe that both products have pros and cons. So far I've got ZUNE HD- * Long battery life * 720p video * Great sound quality * Zune software is easy to use. * Zune Marketplace is easy to use APPLE IPOD TOUCH * Apps * More size choices * Apps * Camera * Apps * More games * LOTS of aftermarket accessories * Apps ... Did I mention apps?
  19. My original intention was to compare products from the same generation. So, say, you compare an Ipod touch to a Zune HD, A nano to a Zune 2, etc EDIT: This is what happens when you talk bad about the Zune
  20. ..... I could DIE on this website?!
  21. IMO, it depends on what you want in a music player. If you want all that app nonsense, then the Ipod is for you. If you want Excellent quality with a few less perks, the Zune is for you
  22. A Zune is as easy to use as an Ipod is. You haven't seen what I've done to a Zune The zune supports just about everything an Ipod can As for everything else (besides the hate of MS) I could understand. But keep in mind, the Ipod has its flaws too
