Thanks for the coverage.

I want a Zune so bad. But I have a older Mac Mini. So, there goes that. :/

I'm honestly jealous about the gummies. Unless I go to the cost-plus, they don't have any gummies except for those awful neon gummy worms.

@code.monkey: it has nothing to do with quality. It has to do with failed potential.
If you promise garbage, and deliver garbage, people are happy.
If you promise great, but only deliver good, people hate you. That's why the Zune is reviled.

@KSPRAYDAD: Why is it odd? People namedop iPod all the time. Besides... Zune isn't just an MP3 player, it's a way of life. *arcane hand gestures signifying street struggle and brand loyalty here*

@KSPRAYDAD:

Why is it odd? People say "ipod" all the time don't they? I never see someone say my "mp3 player" or "DAP" when they have an iPod. Unlike most other players, the iPod and Zune have an actual name and it's simply easier to say that than saying MP3 player.

LittleBigPlaneteer

@code.monkey: I don't think it is a matter of adequacy...it is just ODD to name drop 'Zune' instead of just saying PMP or MP3 Player or the like.

KSPRAYDAD

It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the coverage guys!

LittleBigPlaneteer

Glad to know I'm not the only one with a Zune.

Oh, and @vid3oman64: good lord, they are perfectly adequate music players.

@vid3oman64:
Point not made.

Foreign travel sucks for sure. I feel your pain. Flying to England and back puts a toll on the body, Germany is another couple hours past that!

Gummis and Beer? Did you just leave your clothes at the place or did you trade some guy clothes for snacks?

I was going to say something about the Zune but I think that's been well covered.

Sorry about the Zu... I mean long flight.

Arleas

yeah i got lucky and found a zune and it works great i like the interface and i prefer it over my sisters 2nd generation ipod nano

koeramco

Oh, and Kotkau folks should add me to their Zune friends: Mr Akash

akashhhhh

WELCOME TO THE SOCIAL.

akashhhhh

Fine, fine, I've never had a Zune, so I won't say anything about a product I've never had.

But I will go by what I've heard. Booyah!

vid3oman64

I LOVE my pink Zune! At first I picked it up 'cause I found one especially cheap but have come to really appreciate the easy to use interface. Of course, I've had it well over a year and have never run into anyone else with their wireless on. Probably never will...

Have a safe flight. If ya fly with a Zune Pass, be sure to sync my Social card and listen to the hotness that I listen to all the time.

I think when the Zune gets 120GB later this year, I'll get one.

LittleBigPlaneteer

Zune's are awesome. They're reliable, sexy to look at, and are constantly improving through firmware updates...

Wait a minute, I thought only Sony products fit that description. :P

Anyway, I love my Zune, and use it more often than I do my DS or PSP. I'm just waiting for it to get XNA support.

armless-phelan

@LittleBigPlaneteer: And people say you're a Sony fanboy. :p

You won't regret getting a Zune. You'll just be the odd man out. (I've had mine almost a year, and have yet to meet another person with one.)

armless-phelan

a friend of mine took 34 pounds of gummis with her to asia.
they were like: "ma'm ... what are you doing with all thos gummis o__o;;?"

schLuen

@armless-phelan: I just nab the Sansa clip 'cause it's tiny and cheap and lasts long and is perfect for running.

And I don't have much music.

*Cries in dark corner*

Polterg3ist

@Polterg3ist:

Yeah, the Sansa Clip is great. One of the best sounding players available.

LittleBigPlaneteer

I fucking new it! Those gummi bears are how germany plans on taking over the world (again)! Every exchange student I've ever met has given my family those gummi bears and mud thick coffee as a gift.

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

@Mike Fahey: Ummm... Mike?

You do know that Haribo also releases some/most of those Gummis here in the states too, right?

Granted, if you brought the more outrageous bags of Gummis, then it's all the more understandable

@Fahey:

Where's McWhertor off to? For more videogame coverage or is he looking to get some German action?

And by German action I mean more sausages and beer. You silly perverts!

excaliburps

@Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.: ...lived in Holland when I was a kid, got the Haribo gummy bears all the time. My dad used to go TDY to Germany and bring back giant bags of them. Now that we can get them in the states? I'm in heaven. I go through a couple of bags of them after every stop off at the grocery store.

I'll stay out of the Zune comments...other than my Zune ID: FatalisticDread.

FatalisticDread

@Soldier_CLE: And yes, Haribo releases a lot here, but there are fresher over there. I've run tests.

Mike Fahey

I always mention my Zune not because of a deep seated love for Microsoft, but because Crecente is constantly ribbing me about getting a Zune instead of an iPod touch or something. Telling me how cool his games are, etc. He's so mean.
