Got my Zune 80 in the post today, beautiful thing, really glad I chose this over an Ipod Classic.

I wanna Zune. :< The only problem is, the wireless sharing bit isn't much use if no one else owns one.

Especially if you live in the UK and MS are being extra strict that only US people can get it xD I can't even access zuneoriginals.com, and cant register an account to get the social benefits :(

MS have pretty much copied alot from the Ipod to be honest, the box, style, width, height, etc. But the screen is just too good, Ipod can't compare at all to it, I also prefer this touch pad more than the apple scroll thing. Another thing is the ability to play wma's :)

In terms of iPod copying, what do you expect? That thing's really good. They at least did the navigation much better, though.

MS copies from good products then sells it ridiculously cheap prices? Noooooo.

When I bought a Zune, I got the brown one but it was 80gigs for US$80... ridiculously cheap.

Mine cost £138, thats about $270, thus I refuse to believe y00tz got an 80GB Zune (which are very low on stock) for such a low price. Are you sure its the 80GB version? The brown one was the old 30GB one...

Maybe it's 30, my roommate at the time picked them up off of Overstock for $80, his was black (I'm positive it was 80gigs, his came in first and we loaded movies on to it), I picked up a brown one, which I use for podcasting.

Edit: Indeed mine is the first-gen 30, my bad.  However his is an 80.

They are gorgeous arn't they y00tz.

On a side note, as its not released over here, its extremely hard to find any decent cases, anyone know of an American site that does them, and will ship to UK for a decent price?
