Zune-undrum!?

  1. I’m not a Microsoft Fanboy
  2. I will listen to FM tuner
  3. I will play Podcasts
  4. I want to play Video’s (don’t have many right now)
  5. I would prefer to have a moderately large screen
  6. I want it built to last
  7. I have $75 Amazon Mun-buns

With that out of the way…. what should I get.

Zune v2 (8gb) Green or Black: $170 – $75 = ~$95
Pro

  • v2 Thickness + Flash Memory Thickness = Small and Thin!
  • Flash Memory Durability
  • v2 Controls (Tactile & Touch! I hear its really good)
  • v2 Style
  • FM

Con

  • $95 almost same as 30gb old one…
  • 1.5′ screen :( :( – the border on this one makes the screen look small
  • 8 gb
  • No Video Output

Final Thoughts:

I think the 8gb would be the best to carry around

I think the 80gb is a good long term investment (Video & TV Output, premium Headphones, Capacity)

I think the 30gb I like/want because its brown and everyone hates the brown. (also good in price)

    Personally, I think the 30gb is the best for the price and what you get, plus it seems more durable. I chose “other” only because I think I would prefer the black one over the brown, but both are really awesome.

    FM tuner!!!

    the only reason I’m even considering the old one is on its brown’ness so if i go black It’ll be 80 or 8. I wish there was a v2 brown version or the green was bolder or darker and available in the 80gb

    Okay, looking at the smaller ones, the green one is pretty sweet
