dt Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looking forward to this! However, I hope it will have a lot of apps that can be added; otherwise it doesn't really stack up against the iPod touch in terms of mobile computing (though in terms of actual media playback it may be superior, seeing as it can show bio information from the internet, it has the 'pins' feature, etc.) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/810040-official-zune-hd-thread/#findComment-591451168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonhapimp Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i guess because of supply and demand probably wont have enough because i heard some places are already sold out Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/810040-official-zune-hd-thread/#findComment-591523006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 jonhapimp said: i guess because of supply and demand probably wont have enough because i heard some places are already sold out I guess... but I figured they would offer it to at least the first xx amount of pre-orders. I pre-ordered mine like literally seconds after it went up on Amazon. I would buy it from one of the local retailers (Best Buy), but I hate giving them money. I'm really just being a whiner because it says I should get it Sep. 16... so I guess it really is not that big of a deal.

I bought my 8GB Zune (now "classic", I guess?) on Saturday from Future Shop, and they had very few left. They're clearing them out, got mine for $100, and they threw in the car adapter kit (which they normally sell, I think, for $60+). Good value? Sure. Leaps and bounds better than any of the little-known brand name players I've tried so far. But I'm not deluding myself comparing this first-gen product with any iPod (before this devolves into a religious war)...

Ryne Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Got a question for you all. If you are importing the Zune, what won't work? I assume the radio and the store won't work, but is there anything else that would limit it's capabilities? I really want one, I'm still stuck with a first gen iPod touch.

spenser.d Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Just preordered mine on Amazon, and paid the extra $5.50 for release day delivery.

Calum Veteran Posted September 13, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2009 jonhapimp, great thread - all information in one place - thank you :) You may edit out the "a mod can delete this" part, if you wish though; this ain't getting deleted :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/810040-official-zune-hd-thread/#findComment-591570236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy them in the UK from http://www.zunethings.co.uk/. I'm considering this but I'm not sure about the potential compatibility issues (i.e. How does it charge from a UK plug? Will the radio work?). I really wish MS would just release this worldwide or explain why they can't. Edit: It looks like a lot of my questions are answered when you click on the All Zune HD Details Here! link on that site.

I think I may just wait and see how other people in the UK manage with it.

I was looking at getting one and then they decided just to release them in the US :( I'm sure they'd be a big seller over here.

It's a shame they won't pick up DAB radio although I wouldn't even expect MS to support that with an official release given their history of poor support for non-US broadcast standards in Media Centre.

QuantumTrickery Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The one I ordered arrived this afternoon, unfortunately it is a useless brick until they update their website, which seems to be tomorrow. I guess they really are serious about the street date. All I can do is view the little demo video preloaded on it.
