Microsoft Zune Video Review

[prasad604]

fairly thin player lol

it looks so thick :(

[IndentYourFall]

"FAIRLY THIN!!!" lol roflmao

[2amazin4u2handle]

about how thick is it ?

[killa60707]

Im gonna get Zune HD, the new one..

[bladearon]

well for people whose watching this video and planning to get one the button is like a clickwheel now kind of soo yea its good the new versions well i got the 120 gig and it rocks big nice clear screen good for video

[havokauto]

the zune owns ipod allday even the 30gd check out the new updates on the software now

[neoarcadezr]

the zune is 5 years behind ipod guy it cant touch it and it never will

[Marth8880]

The Zune and the iPod are at the same rank. Microsoft will almost have to add touch capability (which is pretty much useless anyways) because of the rising popularity of the iTouch and iPhone.

[neoarcadezr]

first of all its not usless ur brain is usless for thinking that  even is thay make zune touch it will still suck in comparison to the ipod

[iJutsu]

it's not useless for retards like u that must freakin touch everything, like sum lil retarded kid.. i got iTouch.. and im about to buy the new Zune..

as a player.. itouch..sux...

[neoarcadezr]

lol I had a zune it junk good luck u I have a tpod touch 2g and I'm very happy with it farmore than zune

If u want a real mp3 get a cowon s9 >;p

[LiquidWaffle]

this thing is an inch thick... wtf

[Sampawende]

Damn ! it's huge like a house mama!

[kevNchris445]

the Zune 2nd gen pwns all.. but this version of the zune is pretty good too.. but yah!

[tarheelgirlie]

umm this is the first generation ppl stop complaining.

no first generation of ne mp3 is that good.

[ponstonxx]

it looks more like my granny's old television.!!

[JoeyRamonerulz]

Haha! As does most Microsoft products!

[ponstonxx]

my trunk is thinner than this zune... microsoft flops here..yea they may be good at xbox and windows stuff(i like the microsoft stuff).. but thats not there game to play..

[elkaboy100]

zune is for losers

[gielfransen]

I suspect you have 2?

[hawkman6913]

hahaha

[ajrunke]

zune is for losers...that thing if f ing huge. why the hell would you want a zune? It's twice the size of my phone!

Thanks for the review...you made up my mind for me!

[sony3003]

yea apple its better

[daksfa733]

how do u put ur own movies on it?

and wallpapers?

[willistw]

zune is the most broken piece of shit

[bigredmarx]

you and the zune have something in common :)

[xxTheProfessor]

What happens if you have 2 zunes on the same computer? Like how do you have two zune programs?

[rihoshi]

it doesnt work that way. you can use one software for 2

[LukezAccount]

wow, its fucking fat

[CrazyRockerGuy]

Y does everyone compare zune's to iphones and ipod touches, it obviouse that the ipod wins because its more advanced but instead comapre it to what it is actually competeing against, the ipod classic and nano

ZUNE ROCKS

[iTouchDude08]

dude get an ipod touch. it is way better. it may not have radio but it has internet,itunes store and app store,and its a touch screen.

AWESOME!!!

[1080darkness]

@iTouchDude08 1) people who consider the zune are looking for an mp3 player

2) you can't compare the zune to the ipod touch because they aren't in the same category - the zune is an mp3 player much like ipod classic and nano

the ipod touch is, well, what the fuck is it - an iphone without a sim

clearly not the same thing!

[daverfv]

10 Reasons The Microsoft Zune Beats The iPod. Seriously.

polel(.)net/?p=9

[onlygibsonsrock]

how the fuk do i turn it on i held the play/pause for like and hour and still nothin

[writerwolfgang]

There's a little latch up top. Flick it so you don't see the red

[Momogrl14]

can you change it go go to a spin wheel like a ipod? i thought you could!

[writerwolfgang]

I have one --- no-go.

[theliman]

I never trusted anything other than a CD player until I heard the Zune, coupled with the right earphones this player blows the ipod out of the water, and regardless of features thats the bottom line. The ipod was just too shrill and harsh to listen to. If you want to make some cool cash invest in the hearing aid industry thanks to the ipod they are going to be huge.

[cruzmandara]

nice

[monst3rj4m]

you have abba haha

[itsSteffDUH]

how do u get ur main menu to look like that??

is it a older or newer version or something??

[writerwolfgang]

It's the oldest version

[S0liliquy]

Wtf does he mean "fairly thin" that thing is like 10 inches thick!

[Daulttx1995]

hey guyss, im getting the same one tommorow in red, is it worth it?

thanks.

-daulton

[PrinceFerrariz]

i like the zune really much. but i saw that the ipod touch as wifi and you can buy music off the music store and watch videos on youtube and be on myspace and the apps are awsome. get the ipod tocuh

[raptor477]

The Zune is pretty good and its a worthy opponent for ipod. .........there actually both good! And yea its worth it, unless ur a ipod fan, cause apple is releasing the new nanos later on this September so yea, good luck choosing dude.

[ChrsBrwnLver]

actually it is.

you get TONS of more space than the ipod.

i was looking at the 4th generation ipod nano and i wanted the 16gb one

it holds 4000 songs and 16 hours of video

but the zune 8gb holds 7000 songs and 25 hours of video.

so yea, haha.

i would say its worth every penny.

[Daikokuten777]

Look how cheesy it is click through items...I can hear him "clicking" on everything he does...WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP Zune is!!!! and it's made out of PLASTIC!!!!!

No way to create FOLDERS!!! WTF?!?!?!? How STUPID!!!!!

Microsoft is YOUR GRANDFATHER'S SOFTWARE COMPANY....

They are a DINOSAUR from the 1970's....

[mattg400194]

Go suck more dick because your ranting is really annoying. Go try a Zune first before you talk.

[Daikokuten777]

Dude, they can't GIVE AWAY these P.O.S.

You think a cheap P.O.S. like Zune even comes CLOSE to the quality of Apple. Please. You need to smoke another boll of crack.

[theliman]

Wow, I hope youre being paid to say that, youd have to be a real tool otherwise, and im sure you arent.

I tried the zune, and the sound quality is much much better, the bottom line is that im getting a richer less tinny sound and I wont be wearing a hearing aid by the time im 27 like the millions of tools like yourself who all think the ipod is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[UInACrash]

Sounds like someone is busy sucking off Steve Jobs.

[SoccerGirl427]

lol that's the same thing I was thinking. I have an Iphone 3g (not the 3gb its 3g as in thrid generation for some of you that don't understand it) and it's way better then the zune. even zune fans would have to admit that Iphone is better then a plastic fat large piece of crap. lol

[maplefan94]

LOLOLOLOLOL 1 BAR

[maplefan94]

eew the 80gb kicks this things STOOL-EMITTER

=[]

[kinkosmyers]

omg, he has such an old version of the software..and he hasn't put the game hack on it...

-.-

if you going to represent zune, do it right :D

[KiloByte69]

Look at the posted date you fucking idiot.

[Sparky12311]

OK but if I had an Ipod touch/ Ipod classic, why would I wanna buy one of them..., if you have a look at the reviews for, Ipod Classic vs zune, yeah it has a bigger screen but a nice crisp screen on the Ipod classic... an its a lil thinner than the new 80 gig zune anyways....

[Sparky12311]

did he say its a thin player, its about 1 meter thick lol, get the Ipod touch, its way better.

[ZEPPELIN198]

Don't forget that this is a 1st gen zune. The new ones are much thinner and better looking.

[LordHines420]

Wow. ppl said Zune sucked, but I didn't believe them. thanks for showing me just how much it does indeed suck. it's a shame the iphone is so much better. I hate macs. DAMN!

[jazzzjackrabbit]

how is this peice of fuck thin are you fuckin kidding me shit review. your def a microsoft gayboy.

[LordHines420]

I know. when he said THIS i nearly lost it LMFAO. sad shit. this thing is SUPER THICK and ugly.

[lockiel123]

thin!!!!!

[50centmarian]

can any one tell me this

which one is better

zune or a ipod

[pointlessjudjment]

Christian rock? wtf!

[TdGfAn16]

whats wrong wit dat

[NintenDoorMan]

steven curtis chapman is allrite. i used to listen to him as a kid, but now, i dont

[LordHines420]

LMFAO @ christian rock. I agree. WTF. that's sad.

[CSMiller00]

do you have to buy the songs you put on there?

nice review

[guitarlovenjc]

Yay SCC :)

[chukychaffin2]

what video formats can you put on it??

[arcanistherogue]

With the new firmware (not shown in this video) any Zune can play .wmv, mpeg-4 and H.264.

[nutzw1]

it's like a freakin brick

[Notor88]

Can you put songs on ur zune that u already have saved in ur music folder?

[goopysoupmonkey]

if they are mp3 or WMA, yes

[Wildmonky3000]

old ass zune

[goopysoupmonkey]

its the best though.

[Ajapam]

Spiffy screen! I might try and pick one up when it releases in Canada on June 13..... OMG I'M GETTING MGS4 THAT DAY!

[Fireinme81207]

the screens on these things are so awesome, big, bright, colorful display, this is the original firmware, version 2.5 is alot better

[applefog]

chrisitan rock FUCK YOU NIGRA

[indahwang]

I have one and i hate it. Worse mp3 player i have used so far and i have used quite a bit. The software was hell. I recently got a macbook and judging by how much i love it so far, i am thinking of never going back to using windows again.

I am getting rid of the zune and getting an ipod touch or iphone. At least itunes runs on both windows and mac os platforms. This piece of shit zune software only runs on windows, but thats okey... i don't want to smash my macbook out of anger (w/ the zune)

[nufsikcarc]

new ones better

[xboxplaya420]

how can you even say the ipod is better just because its thinner zune is way better ipod is outdated peice of shit

[sticky494]

Yo I got a ipod touch version 1.1.4, and it could kick this thing's ass any day

[goopysoupmonkey]

no it couldn't. besides, the zune and the touch aren't competitors,the zune doesn't have a touch screen

[sticky484]

tht is soo thick compaired to a ipod

[GanonDarkBeast]

...wow

[lovetoshootstuff]

is the screen unscratchable

[writerwolfgang]

No way

[Fartmaster300]

ipods are better

[askerp2007]

I support both zune and ipod, competition is always good, both of them will need to offer the best, peace and love

[paulevap]

old zune for the win actually i have a ipod classic black but zune looks sick new zune looks like a small piece of shit i could break in 5 seconds like the nano

[shelmarie87]

WTF this thing is HUGE! It looks like an old school GAMEBOY. I mean I dont need anything super fucking tiny but I at least wanna fit it in my pants pockets or something. And, it looks like it sucks origanizationally too. MS is usually good at that, but they've failed here. And yeah, it doesn't look like anything very special. I am thoroughly disappointed. I thought it would be better than it looks like it is.

[aggie2314]

that is one of the old ones the version 2 is smaller plus the one in the video is about the same size as an ipod video and has more features

[samshirley001]

the only bad thing with the newer zune is the memory only 8gb"

[rockhopper445]

i bet if there was a zune versus ipod video ipod would totally beat zune!

[rockhopper445]

i bet if there was a zune versus ipod video ipod would totally beat zune!

[samshirley001]

they also got the 80gb version out at the same time

[Gerbilmeister]

Hey I got myself a zune and let me just say GET AN I POD. Yeah the zune can sync, pretty cool, but it comes with a slew of annoying problems that cancel that out: the buttons are messed up, the volume randomly goes up, it messes up your posters, it is fragile, and it double posts songs, which you can't delete but STILL TAKE UP MEMORY. Get the Ipod, it's cooler. The Zune can sync, but good luck trying to find someone with a zune to sync to. Plus, the Ipod has games and shit, which the zune lacks.

[samshirley001]

you may say'the zune is shit' and such, but the only reason people are asying this is becasue thhat is is a late entry into a market dominated by ipods, take the origonal xbox, nobody cared about the HDD as standard and the better processor(733 compared to the ps2's 700mhz), becasue it was a late entry, not many people had the chance to say'this is better than the ipod', look ate the origonal ipod, it is crap, and the origonal zune is great compared to the origonal ipod, it was just a late entry

[PLrYbKaPL]

nothin special

[Slmjm884]

Do you need batteries for the Zune or can you re-charge it with the computer?

[Zure467]

id assume re charge be pointless to have normal ones ipod would own zune if they did that

[downlode123]

USB recharge.

[Bificus]

iPods do OWN zunes... How many people do you know who have zunes?... -.-'

[Gerbilmeister]

me. they suck.

[samshirley001]

nobody at my school, im the ONLY person who HAS HEARD OF THEM IN A SCHOOL OF 600+

[skatergirlvans]

u should get a betta mic

[slarfuggle]

could i use Apple's iTunes with Zune? becasue i dont want an iShit, but i want a Zune.

[destructon62]

u can choose what files, an yes, u can use it( itunes)

[slarfuggle]

omg look at his hands, he is an ALIEN =D

[Virus2020]

You listen to Christian Rock music?...oh no....no,no,no,no...oh goodness gracious that is....lol sad isn even the best word to describe it

[nsuzp]

i dont know why but for some reason i really really like you voice =) thanks for the review too =)

[bigasstom10]

me 2

[JINOFTHEKEY]

Which Product Is Better Zune Or Ipod Touch...

[bladetorrt85]

fairly thin ha from where the battery life

[SEGA305]

ipod and zune is GAY (PSP) all the way

[ferrariz24]

zune sucks that thing is not thin at all, 160 gb classic is thinner than that crap

[dylan5102]

the Zune is way much cooler than the Ipod :) for fact the screen is like twice as big as the Ipod

[AgentZer012345]

Man if you want a big screen you buy the ipod touch, if you want space the ipod classic, but the zune is nothing but crap

[dylan5102]

what if you want space and a large screen? :)

also the Ipod touch is more expensive then a Zune

[Toucanspam]

And the ipod has better battery life,space,more portable,way more stylish,and is just way cooler.

[AgentZer012345]

Wer kauft denn den shit?

[dylan5102]

off Ebay, you can't buy it in europe yet so you got to buy them off the internet or if you have family in america you can ask if they can get you one

[AgentZer012345]

I don't mind that 'cause I don't want to buy such crap. Why that expenditure if I can have an iPod? I would even rather buy a shuffle than a thick, ugly zune with little space much weight and a bad battery life.

[dylan5102]

zune 80 weights as much as ipod classic

[Samaraizan]

Did i say its only a radio? I said why the hell listen to the radio component when you have all teh music on your ipod. Maybe i should have said on your zune. There? you happy. Zune ipod doesnt matter both have music on them. "People make the most ignorant comments." you get a 4/5 for one of the most ignorant comments of 2008. I never said the zune was a radio only.

[puppetmaster95]

It seemed like either the buttons didnt respond quickly or were just hard to press, are either of these true? Also, I read somewhere that if you open a picture on your computer and rotate it 90*, it will appear on your Zune vertically instead of horizontally.

[Kedo4839]

does the thickness matter that much? i'd rather have this than the new iPod Nanos that you can't even feel in your pocket. quality over thickness. what a dumb argument

[texashardrocker0]

Yes thickness does matter. Who wants to carry a five pound brick in their pocket everywhere they go?

[AgentZer012345]

But where do you see the quality?

[SLCorleone]

if mp3 players were from the 80s this is what it might look like...idk i just think their too big. in my opinion i like ipods better because of the slim design. but who knows it might get better if microsoft does work on it.

[chowfon166]

looks like a brick my friend has one and he says he has to put it in his book bag cuz its so big

[Orange1ofnone]

ipod sucks compared to zune especially the new zunes i wonder what 3rd gen wud look like

[datboigreen]

how do you get your videos on your zune?

[macman1117]

you could build a house with that, its a brick, get an ipod

[bad65stang]

luv da vid hat da zune GIV IT UP GATES APPLE BEAT U

[coonhounds56]

I bought one last night and in my opinion, it is crap. I had to go through 5 steps just to put music on it. what ever happened to click & drag. I am taking it back to the store in a few minutes. I wasted 200 dollars. I don't like it at all though better than an ipod.

[spells14]

its tooo thick, and it made outta plastic, boo Microsoft... GO APPLE!

[505zombie]

the new zunes are not thick at all.....

[N1E1O]

yeah, and they have metallic back now too

[r31ncarnat3d]

haha, amen. the biggest beef i have with ipods is planned obsolence.

i buy a brand new, top of the line ipod, bask in its glory for all of two seconds before apple releases a newer one to make money.

and dont get me started on their crappy customer support :(

[stephylynne33]

mine duznt have the option to send. why????

[mtlh05]

Im guessing you have to enable your wireless conection under settings...

[Shnidle360]

ipod touch ftw

[ShawtyLikeMe2007]

although iPod does have that click wheel, zunes is way better, but iPod is much compact, but does iPod have a radio? i think NOT. anyways, microsoft is way better than apple, not that i'm siding on anything, but at least zunes is cooler right?

[Samaraizan]

wth why listen to radio when u hab all the music on your ipod?!!?!

[N1E1O]

radio isnt only music u know

[Fkm7b5c]

Hmm, I still prefer iPods for its portability.

Do you know why Walkmans are no longer favorable in the market?

I compromise certain things for portability. Knowing which features can be compromised is something everyone should learn.

Portability: not thicker than 1cm, not as heavy as a piece of brick, having a width and length that fits in your palm. Features can come second; why? Because the same model may have several different features in it.

What do you REALLY need in a media player?

[Nodieus27]

You must have very small girly hands if a zune doesn't fit in them! Not only that you sound like you are making excuses for the ipod you must own, other wise why would you make comments like "what do you really need in a media player?" Well I need everything the apple doesn't offer, and I find the ipod ugly trendy un-upgradable, overpriced crap! Just like the mac!

[Orange1ofnone]

i agree

[TDubs42]

Just flip the picture sideways before you put it on yuor Zune so its the right way :)

[sstevens101]

Does ne1 know were i can download free music videos/movies compatible with the zune, thnx.

[EvangelionUnit13]

i agree that the Zune is a decent mp3 player, but too bulky compared to the iPods and not as "out there"

[rupimumaa]

Ipod sucks!! Zune ruless! :)

[bandgeek615]

god you guys are unbelieveable. i have a zune and everyone is always like "its so big" and its really not. its basically palm sized. and why do you need a itty bitty one anyways? not all of you are that active im sure. and wouldnt you want a bigger screen? duh.

[tangledweb16]

Listen, I own that exact same zune, but calling it a "fairly thin player" When the 30GB iPod that came out before it was way thinner is crazy.

[coolguy9513]

wow that thing sucks it doesnt even have the firmware update

[tylerkincaid]

it is an old video smart ass

[naryanr]

did he call that thing "thin" ?

[N1E1O]

hahahahaha

[coondogtheman1234]

this thing (zune) wouldnt suck if it wasnt riddled with DRM Crap (like if you beam a song to another zune that zune can only play it 3 times then its dead)

[GoDieProductions]

all the microsoft people are in denile, they all think the zune is so thin and revolutionary...

wake up microsoft, catch up with apple.

[danny99999999999999]

zunes are sucky ipods are da best

[Nodieus27]

great comment...(sarcasm) how old are you? Oh let me guess with your screen name and your pro apple comment. Let me guess, you own a tredy ipod, and feel the need to put zune down. I don't get the attraction of ipods, i never owned them, but i've owned, creative, sansa, i-river, and finaly a zune, Never will i buy any apple product!

[link2691]

Ipod touch is better

[GoDieProductions]

Christmas :]

[N1E1O]

than wht?

[Finnegani]

very thin player

i think the drugs are kickin in

[Walrus487]

"I think the drugs are kicking in"

Funniest thing I have heard today.

[LeonAsher]

dude how did you get the video on your zune? did you have to convert it?

[sergiogon]

multi touch screen...safari web browser...youtube videos... vs stupid keys... zune to zune wi-fi?? what a joke... microsoft steals you more... windows vista ultimate in europe costs 550€ vs Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard-- 125 €... effects, searches and other things copied from Mac... Do you think microsoft is fair?

[clownay]

who cares how thin it is? lets talk about quality! zune i think is much better quality.. much faster also. les problems

[NYR1668]

fairly thin??? hahahahahahaha GET A MAC

[zulonz]

ya get an ipod its much much thinner

[LessthanJake14]

Or a Creative Zen so you can watch movies in 16 million colours instead of 65k.

[BubblyBlonde12]

i disagree creative sux ass
