Best site to get a Zune...

Thoughts?

i saw it on tv, looks pretty cool.

I want it. It looks sweet and my iPod is ehhh

the real question is, what good freebie site has it? P (i'm serious lol.)

YourGiftsFree allows custom orders.

haha, you beat YGF.
freeincentives has been offering it for a while

How many refs?

which one has the least refs P

freeincentives is DIY not refs. I have steered away from most ref sites recently because I don't have the time to coordinate it all, so I have been sticking to mostly DIY. So I guess it comes down to whether you like refs or DIY.

Well... meh you know what im going to say. lol

zune4free has been plugging it for a while in the Other Sites section

Thats AWFUL!

Yeah, that is why i do DIY now.

The thing I don't like about DIY, especially with say electronics or games, is that after the months of waiting and when you get it, it'd outdated. I sent off my certs for a 512mb Shuffle a couple weeks ago, who knows what I'll get, as the site doesn't offer shuffles anymore.

www.bestbuy.com P

DIY FTW

If you have to pay $25-$30 per ref to only get back $40 per ref after approval, and credits are denied because such and such offer was scammed. It's too much hassel, I did back when they payed out $50 per ref and you only had to pay $20-$25 per ref. Even then people said the prices were too high.

I agree that people pay WAY to high for refs.

TSIF has it. shrug

We will be releasing a new site that will have an option for the Zune within a week. There will also be other digital audio players that i am sure no other sites have at the moment.

For those who do not know GiftsInnovations launched on the 1st of october and have already sent over $4000 in free gifts. We are even expecting a bigger response for the new sites. The Zune will be for 6 referrals.

DIY or refs?

Actually, I don't want one anymore after reading more about it and seeing reviews and such.

It's actually pretty lame.

Yeah, the reviews were prettty bad, I read the engadget one today. They didn't deliver on what they promised, like battery life for example.

I also didn't know about the sharing feature.

I assumed you could share music, pictures, video's etc with other people and keep the stuff for as long as you wanted, but you can only keep anything you share for 3 days (or use it 3 times).

It's also incompatible with Vista. roll

J', where'd your post go?

I thought I was in the PS3 thread and you guys were talking about a PS3 review lol. oops

The only good thing about Zune is the large screen.

Is there a way to get all of your itunes music converted to make it playable on the Zune?

before you buy a Zune look at this

from the wallsteet journal

[quoteb76eeff41f]Even worse, to buy even a single 99-cent song from the Zune store, you have to purchase blocks of "points" from Microsoft, in increments of at least $5. You can't just click and have the 99 cents deducted from a credit card, as you can with iTunes. You must first add points to your account, then buy songs with these points. So, even if you are buying only one song, you have to allow Microsoft, one of the world's richest companies, to hold on to at least $4.01 of your money until you buy another. And the point system is deceptive. Songs are priced at 79 points, which some people might think means 79 cents. But 79 points actually cost 99 cents.[/quoteb76eeff41f]

my love for my ipod has risen.

Ohh.. Whoopdie doo.. It's heavier than the iPod and doesn't play songs you bought from iTunes, therefore it must be inferior. roll

As for incompatibility with Vista... Vista isn't even officially released... Keep in mind that the XBOX 360 did not support Windows Vista until recently from the "Fall Update". I'm sure there will be an update for the Zune when Vista hits the shelves (or shortly after). This device is only 1 day old... and The Zune device is just as improvable in terms of firmware upgrades as the XBOX 360... In other words, features can be added and I'm sure that the first Zune update will allow compatibility with Vista.

Did you honestly believe Microsoft would allow you to keep other user's content for as long as you want? You should know that the RIAA would be suing Microsoft's ass off if they would allow such a thing.

CYA (Cover Your Ass)... You can't blame Microsoft for trying to avoid yet another multi million [billion] dollar lawsuit.

The only downside I can see is the whole "Microsoft Point" system for purchasing content... But, there are better sources for obtaining content, so it's pretty much a moot point.

Finally, about that "thief tax" tax that bloke aussie was yammering on about... Do you honestly give a flying fuck? The player is $250 for 30 gigs. It's not like you're paying more for 30 gigs than an iPod... It's [b12a37b198f]exactly the same[/b12a37b198f]... The only one that should have any concern for this is Microsoft themselves... They are the ones taking the loss, not you (the consumer).

I bought one yesterday. I really like the size of the screen. It seems a ton bigger than the ipod. Radio is really nice to have. It is a little big but not something that is noticeable. Battery life isnt great but i am very happy with my it and recommend it to you guys.

why settle for less? just get an ipod. ;)

Yes I do.

Assuming you're not BSing, you've had it for a day or two and already you're defending it like it's the best thing out there. I think you were defending it the same way when we talked about it a while ago so I guess it doesn't really prove anything. Fanboys... roll lol

You're labeling me as a fanboy and you haven't even heard my opinion of the iPod... roll

The iPod is also a great device... I used to own a 5G video ipod... and just because I personally prefer the Zune over the 5G ipod does not make me a fanboy in anyway... so please don't put words in my mouth.

I'm merely clearing up misconceptions of the Zune (such as incompatibility with Vista) and you accuse me of taking sides... Gee, I thought you were a lot better than that.. Guess I was wrong http//forum.freeipodguide.com/smilies_mod/upload/45cf3fb094b87f3930267a5c1ea17caf.gif[" alt=""/img30726a3580]

[quote3d48143b36="h3x"]Also, The Zune can have features added to it by future updates... Phone capability has been said to be available in a future firmware update by one of MS reps.

Like with the XBOX 360... It didn't support 1080p, but only 480i/480p/720p. 1080p will be enabled when the HD DVD add-on is released in November.

So if Apple adds a feature, MS can add the same feature as well in future updates.

even if MS released zune and it is very good, it still wont' top off the experience and amount of updates made from apple's ipod line...

iPods aren't even the best DAPs before the Zune. iPod is the man, CONFORM!!!

I'm interested in getting one too. Any links to sites?

LOL when you say you think one will be better and don't stop touting its features (or future features), I think that's called taking sides (aka fanboyism). Anyway don't take it so seriously, I just thought it was funny that somone was defending the product as if they worked for microsoft. It's cool if you love it that much.

I don't consider three sentences as touting it's features (which is a plural word)... Where I merely pointed out one feature of the Zune.

I'm done debating with you on this.
