Zune

[Joe88]

Take this advice from a Zune owner, if you can find something that isn't an iPod for cheaper, don't get one. However, if you can't just get a Zune. If you expect to buy ANY peripherals be prepared to pay a lot more than it's actually worth since they don't have any third party dealers... I'm talking 30~50 dollars for a car charger, dock, AC Adapter, or any other peripheral. A USB cable alone can be 20~ dollars. I've never even considering buying a single peripheral besides a USB->AC adapter that's third-party and works on anything USB.

It dies fast with Video, so don't load it up. 15 GB free space and it lasts 20+ hours for me. 5 GB free space and it barely runs 7 hours.

I have a 30GB, got it when they came out rly, only broke it once (Really durable) and they sent me a new one. If you crack the screen they refuse to service you, so if you drop things a lot, be very wary.

Another thing to note is that any case for the Zune third party or not costs at least 50~100 dollars for something that either looks good or is durable.

just look an amazon
theres tons of cheap third party adapters for like $15 or so

and cases by the boat load are also real cheap, wtf you get the idea that they cost $50-100?
this leather girffon zune vizor I got on mine only cost like $15
the most Ive seen a case is like $30 because it was basically bulletproof or something like that, there was an inch of rubber and polycarbonate plastic all around it

archnos sux, u must pay for the plugins to browse the web, watch movies, specific codecs, etc

If anybody wants, I can get them every plugin for a total of $40.

if you can afford, get this *drool*

160GB!!! and its not an ipod!

Too bad it's fuggin' huge but I guess that's neccessary for something more meant to do movies.

Fits in my pocket fine...

Really? I've always thought it was rather large from looking at floor models but I've never tried putting one in my pocket.

Fits in palm, fits in pocket (although the 80GB and larger versions are 5mm thicker than the smaller ones)

I would be too afraid to carry that around
it would probably break
