I love when conspiracy theorists claim company's are astroturfing. Rather than that more logical approach, that is to say, people actually like the zune...
also, I see dozens of apple blogs, which talk about the ipod, and i see plenty of people write pro-ipod posts, despite it ( imo ) not being the best player or software on the market. ( I will grant that they have the best store )

I normally get a minimum 136 kbps on edge. I am currently getting 64 kbps. this sucks. no orb streaming for me.

why are people digging you down? I agree this is a zune/iphone killer.

awesome!

rofl that was hilarious.

I wish I had a brownie. I bought a whitey to match my DS and 360. =(

After seeing a brown zune in person, it has got to be one of the best looking mp3 players I have seen in awhile, and it matches my clothing. =P

This is great. I have a launch console, and although it is still working fine, I have been paranoid about having the console break during MLG tour/Halo 3/Summer etc. Glad to see I don't have to worry anymore.

I am most looking forward to finally being able to watch my iTunes tv shows while traveling. having that 3.5 inch screen is perfect for viewing video content. Then when I am finished, I could hope on Youtube and watch some funny cat videos. =D

what's an ipod?

lol j/k.

Seriously though, zune is a great device, and alot of us bought 1. You should really look into the device and see what is has to offer, I know alot of my friends are switching from their ipod videos this christmas.

it gets rid of the double shot... =(
I think they just take the casing off and put a new case on... probably won't have that same rubbery feel, and losing the double-shot effect would suck. Thanks but no thanks, my white zune is fine as it is.
( although if anybody would be willing to trade for one of those zune team orange zunes, I would be happy to deal )
