Chsoriano Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I love my ZuneHD but I was sorely dissapointed when I realized you cannot access the marketplace when the Zune is in the HD AV dock... really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingInAlley Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi! I just got Microsoft ZuneHD but i say outside USA. I can't seem to sign in the Zune Player as a result, i can't download any apps. When i put my existing Msn credentials, i cannot see the agreement but i click next, i get an error. Anyway to fix this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Any eta to firmware or software update for Zune HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coresx Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 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! Yea, get a move on MS. I'm close to buying another iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 DO NOT waste your money on the over priced $80 dollar Zune HD Car Pack. I did, and it was garbage. Just bought the " Advanced Car Mount System" from Buy.com, for $30, and it is LEAPS AND BOUNDS above that overpriced MS device. I get little to no static at all playing my mp3s on my car stereo. You won't be disappointed! http://www.buy.com/prod/fm-transmitter-cha.../211420384.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharat Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 How to change the background of Zune 4.0 Media Player? I am waiting for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotenks98 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 So is there any news on a larger size than 32gb? I refuse to buy the current hd zune because the size would easily get used up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted November 3, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2009 So is there any news on a larger size than 32gb? I refuse to buy the current hd zune because the size would easily get used up. Not that I've heard of, but I don't think we'll get a 64GB quick. Flash prices have to come down more. Next year for sure, but are we talking early or late 2010? No one knows outside of the Zune team at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yeah, my 32GB is already about 2 gigs from the limit, without any of my movies on it... I need a 64GB version, but 32 fits just fine for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasfrank09 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 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. They need to make actual Zune games, built for Zune hardware. I don't know about you, but I would have a hard time playing Geometry Wars on my Zune.

spaceelf Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Makes sense, what with the Xbox Live and Zune media stores merging. I just hope my wierd video DRM issues will be solved. I don't plan to call support unless the update doesn't fix em. If I watched em more often, I'd have called :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think even MS knows when they'll be able to launch overseas, but I'm surprised they haven't talked about it at all. Still, they're getting a pretty big reaming from Europe every other week, so might make em just a bit nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysah Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 What is the best case to get with the Zune HD 32GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted November 5, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2009 They need to make actual Zune games, built for Zune hardware. I don't know about you, but I would have a hard time playing Geometry Wars on my Zune. There could be some sorta wireless controller setup though? The ZuneHD does have the ability, and 360 contgrollers just use normal wifi iirc? It'd be a simple software update. Then, you could have something like this, the XBLA games are on your zuen, connected to a HDtv and played through a wireless 360 controller. I think it'd work. Or they can do a sorta mini-controller dock like setup to add simple d-pad and a 4 buttons to the device. I saw something similar for some old Sony-Ericsson phones 4 or so years ago. Zune specific games are welcome ofc, but they'd be built using the same XNA tools that others have used to make XBLA and Indie community games.

Redestium Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I really like the ZuneHD, had a chance to see it in person (though it didn't turn on) at Best Buy. It's a little annoying though to hear that MS is getting out of the hardware and just using the Zune as a software service, however that could be a good thing too. Imagine using the Zune software with a variety of devices down the road (possibly media players and phones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted November 7, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2009 Some good news for those with a ZuneHD today. Zune HD firmware update: Today we released the v4.3 firmware update for Zune HD players; this update adds support for upcoming 3d games and applications, as well as an auto-suggest feature for better text input, and other minor improvements. Enjoy! 4.3 is the next building block. Can't wait to see what games and apps they open up. BRING IT TO EUROPE NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you do remind me of something I read about manufacturers being really excited about the zune hd having the recessed edges it has - they would make for great holders for accessories. Still, I don't think we're going to see XBLA games just thrown onto the zune. Maybe some mobile ports in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Question: with the 4.3 update, do everyone else's favorites (in the internet browser) no longer go alphabetically? Kinda annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasfrank09 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I don't seem to have that issue, but I've only got 3 favorites and I haven't added any since I updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
