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.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • 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.
