The Zune, a success?

[halo71]

I bought mine on the release date. Circuit City was selling them like crazy. Now it seems like every store I go to is selling them! I was in a gaming store at the mall just yesterday and they were even selling them. But in hindsight I almost wish now I would have gotten an iPod instead.

Halo 71 your exactly right, its a matter of preference, but it seems that iPod ruled the market. Have u guys ever stopped to think about the name iPod... Sounds so dumb, i would have never bought one back in the day with a name like that (never bought one, never will). The name sounds silly is all. It has games, can have video, pics and songs... People ask me why i dont get one.

1. "so, my ipod has games!"-if i wanted something to play games on, id take my psp everywhere.
2. "it can play video"-once again so can my psp... and music for that matter and pics... same price pretty much... has internet, ipods dont... and if i wanted to watch movies on an mp3 player, i would buy one with it...

people just dont go looking for things better, ipod sells, so they assume its the best and then they get converted and never buy anything different... its a cult lol.

well there my sence and a half about ipoods... any one agree?

I kinda agree ish. iPods are becoming basically a fashion symbol, and what they do does not matter anymore. I got an iPod 4G years ago, before they became so fashionable and cool. I dont know about the new ones, but mine is made well, very high quality compared to many other players, it did what I wanted it to(play music) and it did it well. I like apple products because of the quality.

Well the name 'Zune' does not really covey a hi-tech, master mind name either!!! lol.

I didnt realize that my Zune did not support games when I bought it. Wish it did because there are a few Chess and Poker games that I like. Maybe MS will add this as an upgrade in the future. Hopefully.....
