Looking forward to this! However, I hope it will have a lot of apps that can be added; otherwise it doesn't really stack up against the iPod touch in terms of mobile computing (though in terms of actual media playback it may be superior, seeing as it can show bio information from the internet, it has the 'pins' feature, etc.)

  • 3 weeks later...
i guess because of supply and demand probably wont have enough because i heard some places are already sold out

I guess... but I figured they would offer it to at least the first xx amount of pre-orders. I pre-ordered mine like literally seconds after it went up on Amazon.

I would buy it from one of the local retailers (Best Buy), but I hate giving them money.

I'm really just being a whiner because it says I should get it Sep. 16... so I guess it really is not that big of a deal.

Well my 120gb zune just crapped out on me and due tto the warrnty(a mist have form bets buy) I am getting a zune HD as they had no zunes in stock at all.

I bought my 8GB Zune (now "classic", I guess?) on Saturday from Future Shop, and they had very few left. They're clearing them out, got mine for $100, and they threw in the car adapter kit (which they normally sell, I think, for $60+).

Good value? Sure. Leaps and bounds better than any of the little-known brand name players I've tried so far. But I'm not deluding myself comparing this first-gen product with any iPod (before this devolves into a religious war)...

Got a question for you all.

If you are importing the Zune, what won't work? I assume the radio and the store won't work, but is there anything else that would limit it's capabilities?

I really want one, I'm still stuck with a first gen iPod touch.

I want one but it won't be out in the UK for a while...if ever! :( Any sites selling the Zune HD ship internationally?

You can buy them in the UK from http://www.zunethings.co.uk/. I'm considering this but I'm not sure about the potential compatibility issues (i.e. How does it charge from a UK plug? Will the radio work?).

I really wish MS would just release this worldwide or explain why they can't.

Edit: It looks like a lot of my questions are answered when you click on the All Zune HD Details Here! link on that site.

Radio should work as it is just FM but as the rest I don't know. You can charge via USB too. I think I may just wait and see how other people in the UK manage with it.

Yeah think I will too. I was looking at getting one and then they decided just to release them in the US :( I'm sure they'd be a big seller over here.

Yes, you're right about the FM. It's a shame they won't pick up DAB radio although I wouldn't even expect MS to support that with an official release given their history of poor support for non-US broadcast standards in Media Centre.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
