a1ien Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Goatlord Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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".

Calum Veteran Posted October 26, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 26, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted October 27, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2009 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!

jonhapimp Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 or he couldve meant the regular zune 120(no HD) I have a question;Pros and Cons of getting a Zune HD 32GB vs a Zune HD 160GB? there the same exact thing except one of them has more memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysah Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah I meant between the Zune HD 32GB and the Zune 120GB... Whats the difference between them besides capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhapimp Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysah Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So basically I should just buy the Zune HD 32GB? I will be buying around the first week of December... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I do believe he meant HD is on the right. But yes, the HD is the preferable option if you don't need massive amounts of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted October 30, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2009 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.
