30GB Zune Black

Pros: Screen size, tactile feedback, crisp interface, supported by new firmware

Cons: Lackluster exterior, somewhat large, battery life, outdated

The Bottom Line: There is little incentive to buy an old Zune 30 and it does have its faults but it offers a lush, crisp interface that is worth it.

Review: With the new Zune 2.0's dropping soon the Zune 30 is being sent to the back of the line. Microsoft is trying to push these things out to make room for its new stuff and I can't blame them. But that means great deals for customers. I got this black...

Pros: Pretty good player, solid build, got a bargain, long battery life, decent music selection

Cons: Horrible software (from a software company!), limited and pricey accessories, unecessary "points" system

The Bottom Line: This is a pretty good player with substandard software. MS should get the bugs worked out of the software and drops the confusing "points" system.

Review: Given to me as a Christmas gift, this was a bargain at less than $90! The 8G version is more than $120. Plays music, videos, photos, podcasts, etc.

Player works well with a long battery life and music is crisp with strong bass and precise...

Pros: endless feature possiblities, battery life, ease of operation, storage

Cons: the little headphones, time consuming downloading processes

The Bottom Line: If you want something to hold all of your minds prized possessions, here you go. Also, a definite must for music lovers!

Review: I held it off for as long as I possibly could, but I finally took the plunge and purchased one of these things. For way too long, I've been repeating this sequence of events over and over and over again. Burn cd, lose cd, burn cd lose cd...etc. I...

Pros: priced less expensive than video ipod for the features

Cons: stops working after less than a month

Review: my son (13 years old) got this for a birthday present in the beginning of nov. it work for less than a month. One day, he plugged it in to charge and it just died. It wouldn't charge, turn on or anything. I made several calls to customer service. I...

Pros: video, radio, huge amount of memory, durability

Cons: scratches easily

The Bottom Line: Not better than the new technology that has come out since but it is a durable, well-built, piece of equipment.

Review: I got my Zune a couple years ago for Christmas and it has been all I wanted. The only con I have had is that at this point (two years later) it is pretty bulky compared to the new technology that Apple and Microsoft have come out with. Other than...

Pros: bluetooth availability

Cons: 1st generation

The Bottom Line: DON'T BUY IT! It's like buying $200 worth of frustration! I say spend it on something else (maybe the 2nd GEN ZUNE with 80GB).

Review: I'm not going to lie. There are a lot of positive criteria about owning a ZUNE that might make you choose this product over an iPod, but from what I've experienced with my own ZUNE, I highly recommend you think twice before...

Pros: This site is useless.

Cons: Still, useless.

Review: I do not own the Microsoft Zune Black (30 GB) Digital Media Player, but I would if Shopping.com was accurate towards their pricing guide. When I was ready to purchase this mp3 player, I went to buy it from Circuit City for $99, since I found that to...

Pros: Going to the dentist isn't so bad now that I have my Zune!

Cons: Could use a built in kick stand for viewing.

The Bottom Line: It surpasses my needs, it's not too expensive, and I don't have piles of cd's around anymore. Not great movie viewing in the sun tho...

Review: The hubby and I purchased Zunes for each other for Christmas last year unknowingly. It would be nice if I could get my all ready purchased DVD's on to it in a simpler fashion...
So we purchased the little out to TV device wooot!!!!
We...

Pros: perfect size, large screen with great resolution, high capacity, great looking, customizable.

Cons: low battery life, can only use software another attempt for MS to take over world

Review: The zune is pretty nice overall. awesome looks, and awesome controls. The song/picture sharing feature is microsoft's attempt to make people buy it. you can only listen to the song 3 times in 3 days. GREAT screen. Large and Great quality. Very high...

Pros: very simple to use, hard to scratch up

Cons: marketplace could be a little better

The Bottom Line: Get the Zune! Just because it isn't brand name doesn't mean it's not worth the money.

Review: I recently purchased a Zune thirty gigabyte, and I absolutely love it!
While there is much debate on which is better--the iPod or the Zune--I have to say after now having a Zune, I prefer the Zune more. I like bulky electronics, so the...
