Official Zune HD thread


Recommended Posts

I think 80 and 120 GB are hard drive sizes, this is a flash based device and is more likely to go to 64 GB sometime soon enough.

I just bought one two weeks ago and I'm pretty disappointed - only 8-9 apps exist - none are 3D - and the web browser is not good enough for me. As a music player its good enough... and the eye candy in the interface is great, but this thing has a tegra inside and $290 for interface eye candy does not cut it.

It does have the most contrasty screen you've ever seen, that's the OLED for you.

Apps and 3D apps are sorely needed.

Other gripes: pictures are limited to 640x480 and there is no doc/pdf support. Personally I want thing thing to have PDA features.

It has a nice SDK I think if you wanted you could give it whatever feature you need. I was thinking of porting ghostscript if no one does it by winter.

My Zune HD 32 will be here on Tuesday...after being backordered twice. Sold out in stores all around here as well. Never thought I'd be saying that about a Zune, tbh.

Hopefully you enjoy your order after being backordered.

If anyone cares, on Zune Originals, Pink and Purple are now labeled as "coming soon".

i live in Australia and i was thinking about buying a zune HD off ebay, i was wondering if anyone knows what restriction if any there will be.. im guessing i wont be able to download music from the market place but do i need to log into the zune software to be able to sync up music?

no you do not

It looks like I've finally got a Zune HD arriving :woot: I forgot to ask what restrictions I will have? Obviously the HD radio won't work, which I'm absolutely fine with and I assume I won't be able to purchase from the Marketplace? Does anybody else know what might not work? As long as I can sync music from my Zune library and play it on the Zune, I'm happy :happy: I'm living in the UK by the way.

He probably means the 16, and it's just a typo? Anyways, I hope they can finally get this thing outta the states, seriously come on MS, work out the licensing already! And I'm not talking just Canada here. I'm in Europe!

Yeah I meant between the Zune HD 32GB and the Zune 120GB... Whats the difference between them besides capacity?

i have the zune 120, it's not touchscreen, it use an HDD instead of an flash memory, it can not output to 720p, it doesn't have HD radio it does have radio though, both have marketplace, only the HD has an internet browser, the HD has an AMOLED(or just OLED i think) screen, the Zune HD is alot sexier, they both play the same files(except the Zune 120 cannot have HD content on it), the HD has an preset equalizer, and the Zune HD has an better interface, both have the same sound chip thing so they sound the same

and most important the 120 is about 4 times larger than the biggest HD size, which is why i don't have one yet

HD is on the left

MS really needs to get out a zune 4.1 update that opens up the device to apps and especially games. The device has the ability to run pretty much all the XBLA games out now. They need to merge it even more with the 360 and let you move your arcade games over to the zuneHD so you can take them on the go. It'd be a huge bonus and a major selling point.

    • 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.
