FINANCIAL PLANNER SAYS ITUNES IS A MONEY PIT, SO GET ...

[asianoutcast87]

nahhh, theres not gonna be as much pirates anymore cuz the zune hd makes it extremely easy to buy songs cuz their subcribtion base is so good. anyways.............this marketing thing is genius. not even mac fanboys can say shit about it.

[anderalex129]

@asianoutcast87 LOL! There will STILL BE pirates

[outsideheaven]

but there are definitely more concerts and the tours get bigger. also, the number of bands and productions increases by a lot, adding productions from other countries as everythings going worldwide now, you have to decide what cd to buy because you cant buy all. at least for me it's so.and in that case i prefer to support small bands.i figure thats also part no ones going diamond. and yeah, they would earn more money, but they have more than enough to produce well. they just go mainstream.

[yummdiddy]

everything you said sounds like a mac commercial... you obviously dont realize the percentage of people with issues on pc and mac are the same...its just there 10 of you and millions of pc's

[yummdiddy]

shame shame on the music pirates out here...and they wonder why no one makes good music anymore...its because they cant afford to produce it. thank you pirates for every fucking cd coming out with only 11 songs on it

[outsideheaven]

yyeah right, they seem to have shit in your head as well..

not that i actually support that but i also don't like to support the music industry..downloaders don't do any damage, the managers, bands and producers are millions of dollars heavy and i guess they just swim too much in their money to make good music. the major labels acutally force bands to adapt their music to the mainstream so any creativity gets lost out there.

[yummdiddy]

pirates do hurt the music industry...look at sale pre p2p and post and tell me why no one is going diamond anymore

[outsideheaven]

u cant judge by just looking at todays cd sales. e.g. as the access to free music is easy, the possibility for an average citizen to amplify his musical horizon is much bigger which improves concert visits to bands he would probably not even know. also, about 80% of the illegaly downloaded music would not be bought even if there werent p2p systems. so when they talk about damage in numbers, u have to divide by 5 to get the actual number. u want more?

[yummdiddy]

your figures are made up lol...concerts were just as big 10 years ago as they are now...

[electronicgizmo99]

cough cough limewire cough cough....

[ScaryManLikesCereal]

They keep saying itunes is a rip off, when in reality you pay more for zune.

[etpark5]

not exactly unlimited music for a month.....and when you download a song just run it through tune bite so your music doesn't disappear

[010dragonslayer025]

Fuck paying for it, we have ThePirateBay for a reason.

[eric77lv]

Zune sucks, you only get to keep 10 songs a month from Zune Pass! For $14.99!! Plus stop paying and all of those 10 songs you kept will be GONE. For $10 I can get 10 songs from iTunes. Plus I can get some APPLICATIONS! for free. Microsoft, just admit it all of these people who commented "ZUNE ROX" are all paid people. Apple FTW, even SanDisk is better than the Zune.

[ScaryManLikesCereal]

Soooooooooooooooo true

[yummdiddy]

eh no bub...zunes do rock...and the zune hd should be fire!

[put4558350]

wrong

Zune Pass! is "optional" deal. for $15 you can download "any song - as much as you like" (eg. full zune immediately). but you can listen them for 30day after last sync (to check that you still in subscription)

Plus you can keep 10 song "forever" in non drm mp3.

If you don't like the deal. You can buy music traditional way for $1. non drm mp3.

[polkaspotsss]

@put4558350 Yes, but you have to subscribe every single month for the rest of your life to keep those DRM tracks. Considering you only get 10 songs a month, and 120 gb can hold 30,000 songs, while you're paying 15 dollars a month, that brings you to a grand total of... $45,000 to fill up your zune with DRM free tracks. They're both shitpiles.

[77deereboy]

@put4558350 ...but in the end it costs 30 grand.

[xerxaxax]

Ugh their still trying with this? I mean just use music rescue and get all the songs from your friends iPod's, it's just that simple!

[MetallicAuptuned]

Typical mac user...

How about I completely take a mac apart, and you name five of the parts that I choose for you...

[NeonMite]

Zune roxxxx!

[Insomnizack1994]

idk why u got so many thumbs down, i agree

[BlueFlashProductions]

Yeah, I doubt your Mac can stand up to my gaming PC that I built for under $500 dollars. Mac people probably don't even know what a quad-core is.

[Skullslasher6]

lol..funny. I love watching my friends mac crash while I flash through all my multi-tasking games/programs. Oh, and I payed half of his cost.

[PeteRoy]

I want to know what you have to say about the prices of Vista and other Microsoft products while u can get the same for free

[wixostrix]

Well, the most widespread consumer version of Vista which is Home Premium costs $129 to upgrade just like Mac OS X typically is (excluding the Snow Leopard). Also, it has been announced that most people who bought Vista will be able to get a free or $50 dollar upgrade to Windows 7 from the retailer, depending on when you purchased the computer.

Yea office is expensive, but so are Adobe software and other industry standard applications.

[penguinboy4]

zune owns

[imagoodkid69]

5/5 zune for the win!!
