What is a Zune ???. Is it food
It must be. Brown, ugly, slippery, and slimy. hm... I wonder what else can it be?
Y'know, that reminds me of two things. First, Vista. Second,

I think it's a brand of body wash.
But Phil from Frisky Dingo seems to love it. Talks about it all the time.
This baby green is just a different flavor of the same stuff though :

Sorry. That's the one that I saw first hand. Haven't seen any other since then.
And yes, I did know that they don't sell them. I know about the new colors - and that I've used them in arguments earlier this thread.
But it's just that when I hear Zune that's what I think of. Anyways "brown" makes a better comparison of what that joke was meant to talk about.
That's just a muted green. It's not a brown Zune.
I'm sure I'm one of the very few, but I liked the brown Zune. It wasn't like all other MP3 players and it would have gone well with some of my outfits. I wish the new shuffles came in more colors... that way I could match them with more of my clothes, but instead I would have to wear greys/whites/blacks.
Did you even read my comment or just reply to the picture ?

Depending on the shade of the color, but black usually works well with brown or leather outfits.
If it was that easy to penetrate the gaming market, then someone would have done so before MS. Do you remember Apple's attempt at a gaming console?
If MS tried to buy exclusivity, then Sony should have offered more for the developers not to leave. It's all part of the competition. That's what capitalism is all about.
It's not easy—but with Microsoft's capital, it's not hard either. Money, money, money.
That's also the difference between earning someone's respect and bribery.
Ah. Do you seriously think that Sony can outbid Microsoft?
D: Sarcasm.
With you on the brown zune
I'm actually looking to buy one at some point, for the sheer hell of it.
Yes it could. Sony should have offered alternative incentives to keep the developer. After all, money while a major factor, is not the only one that affects the utility for a developer.
One could argue that Sony's move to Cell architecture was a disincentive for developers to stay with Sony. If they wrote for Xbox, it would be more simpler to port to other platforms hence savings.
It's not all about the money. Developers would have left MS if they had sub standard support.
You only need to have a slight sense of logic, to understand that 100% of teenagers cannot possibly all want to buy iPods within the next year. Like I said, the fact that I don't plan to buy another is proof enough.
Well for the Cell architecture, without any advances in technology such as that the gaming industry will move on, probably in another kind of product. And both Sony and Microsoft looses. Microsoft is merely using the inertia left by the developers' willingness to move on. They eventually will, and when they do, they will move back.
And I am still not convinced that Sony is going to fall anytime soon. The Xbox may have a foothold, but the PlayStation is nowhere near the "extinguished" status.
I think it says something about the user experience and gameplay, when even after multiple hardware failures, people still go back to the Xbox and not PS3.
I can see the next Apple ad:
I am an iPod.
And I am a Zune HD.
So you can display movies in HD quality?
No, my maker thought most people are too cool to buy from Microsoft instead of buying an iPod, so maybe we can at least to those who are stupid enough to think that "HD" means "HD".
Margin of error?
And it's 100% of teenagers who's planning to buy a PMP in that survey is planning to buy an iPod.—it is a sample, after all.
Though come to think of it, your original statement was:
"I know for a fact that '100% of teenagers' do not want iPods."
Which was absolutely untrue. What I think you're trying to say, however, should be expressed as:
"I know for a fact that [not] '100% of [all] teenagers' want iPods."
I beg your pardon. You've lost me. I never said anything about user experience or gameplay.
Why is it anything remotely MS related always devolves into how MS sucks compared to anything?
Not to be a b***h and rain on your anti-MS parade, but I'm presonally psyched to see where this goes. I'm looking for a reason to ditch my iPod Touch (too little space). And hell, since all music is DRM free, I can still buy from apple and play on a Zune!

IF it's true. It's still unconfirmed.
Just remember that it is known that even music purchased from Microsoft's Windows Media Player store cannot be played on Zunes.
