[JMcEntegart]

In what was more a formality than anything else, Microsoft has confirmed details of the Zune HD, most of which everyone knew already.

unless that preorder "platinum" color is gone after launch, i'll wait till i have some color and design options....

The only thing I want to know is if it will work with any media player...and I doubt it will due to "Zune Marketplace". If Microsoft makes the Zune usable on any media player, life wil be good...

I am picking up one of these for sure, anyone looking for a 32gb ipod touch?

 

[megahunter]

not so expensive...

 

[mtyermom]

I am pleasantly surprised by the pricing.

 

[kewl munky]

Damn I saw upwards of $500 for the 32GB model on another site. Surely they will have to do some price drops on the other ones.

why do people write "BTW who cares" obviously you do cause you read the article then posted a coment you moron!

i want a zune hd but i hate the zune software. Downloaded it yesterday. but i did like that music on there is cheaper than itunes. anyone know if the zune hd will work with that media monkey software?

 

[nachowarrior]

yes, it's a really girly question

I see no real reason to pre-order stuff unless you're getting a really good deal or it comes with something that won't otherwise be available to retail buyers. Typically, the price is a bit lower at Walmart, if only by a couple of dollars, than at other retailers. So why not just keep your money in your wallet (or purse, as the case may be) and keep your options open on release day.

I'm waiting for either A: the price comes down or B: I have more money in pocket. College is not kind to my savings account.

But what we really want to know is "Will it run Crysis?"

32GB for $10 less than 16 on the iPod touch?

I think I'm willing to trade iTunes' app store for that. Not that there would be any apps to use anyway since they're all being kicked out by their insane approval process.

I'm really excited to see what they can do with the Tegra platform too.

U can assume it has somewere along the lines of 100MHz SPU and maybe 64MB of RAM... so no.
But that would be awesome. =D

...
My entire music collection is about 70 gigs... bigger sizes please.

Ipod touch vs zunes hd i'd go with zune hd for more memory not like ipod touch has great apps, iphone does the touch does not.

I'm probably going to wait a bit for possible bug to be reported and then see if its worth it.

I agree, I need more room, 32gb is not enough for HD video and music. Not to mention games if they ever release anything worth having. My 80gb Zune is fine until they can fix the sizes.

 

[RCx240]

I'm gonna have to give one of these a try when my iPod explod- err, breaks. Yeah.

Good Point Jellico- dont want to end up in a situation like those who dove in blindly and bought Archos.
