So I got a new 80gb MS Zune for my b-day last month, I've been faily happy with it, the software took some getting used to and say it was good would be an exaggeration. Anyhow, i usually drive with my mp3 player sitting on my lap, today i drove a 100 miles to take a god damn coast guard test, but that's another story. I get home here at the marina and i'm sitting in the parking lot with it on my leg, it falls onto my carpet floor with a rubber floor mat lands FACE UP and shatters the paper thin glass screen, spider cracks everywhere... yea that's right the fuckheads put a glass screen on the fucker. So i call them after browsing around the internet to discover this is common, very common and they tell me that cannot fix it. They have no way to fix the shitty little glass screen. Basically its a disposable mp3 player. I beat the **** out of my creative zen and it's still working, amy uses it everyday, but they stopped making the large gb models, so i decided to give the shitbag microsoft 2nd generation junk box crap fart a try and I'm out $250.



you fucked me again microsoft, you fucked me again. So don't waste your god damn money

Didn't Ipods have something like that when they first came out?

I dunno, this is the thinnest glass i have ever seen and screen size is pretty good , so you just breathe on it and it breaks.... apparently. lots of people complaining on the various forums.

Yea, Farrah got me the big plastic case for my 30g video Ipod because I do the same stuff with mine.

Had it for a year now and it still looks brand new.

The only thing i put on my zen was one of those plastic screen protectors, other then that i dont even put it in the case. ******* glass screen who **** thought up that and this thing is THIN, like paper thin.

my 30 gig video ipod has taken a beating and looks like **** case is even coming apart and it works like a charm

sorry phins I have to laugh at you you should know better than to not research a product before you buy it









Dont Ban ME ! ! !

I have a Creative Zen and they are damn near indestructible. Almost bought a Zune... guess I'm glad I didn't.



Sorry to hear your luck phins...

I did in fact, a couple months worth, the new zune 80 has the HIGHEST rating on cnet, it's their top pick, not one mention of the **** ass screen. I bought one of th first ones to hit the shelf, then you start seeing the broken screen blues showing up all over the internets. ******* nightmare.

I would have bought another zen the first time around, but they are only producing flash based players and they want 249 for a 16 gig, with the sd card slot it would prolly be enough, but i was leary. I'll prolly just go ahead and get the new zen

My large cell phone screen looks like glass with plastic on top (I busted it, spider cracks all over), I'm surprised they're still doing that with small electronics. It's a Motorola Q.

Yea it's rediculous, the ONLY advantage glass has is scratch resistance, but you can easily avoid scratches using a screen protector or case. The fact that anyone would use glass on something like an mp3 player, that has a screen with a 4 inch span is retarded, i can see it holding up a little better on a smaller screen, but this scraan is 4 inches across and the gass goes almost to the edge. complete junk. seriously, dont even consider it, the zune is getting great reviews and there's several things they don't tell you.



1)software is terrible, yes wores then itunes, much worse ( i hate itunes its why i wont own an ipod)

2)battery life is pathetic, for one there's no easy way to turn the thing off, u use the method they tell you and you wake up in the morning with 25% battery left, it doesn't shut off.

3)you can't use it as a hard drive, now anyone that has zen or any other large gig player, this thing is 80 gigs, knows it's nice to be able transport files back and forth with the cocksucker, no such luck with the zune, everything has to be sync'd with the software and it wont do files.

4)the hardware is, as mentioned poorly made

Think of it as a donation to Bill Gates. I hear he needs the money.



Wait....



Oh, never mind. It's me that needs the money. Bill Gates is filthy stinkin' rich. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

yea i should have known better then to buy a microsoft piece of ****, guess my xbox made me over confident.

walmart swapped it out LOL now i just gotta ebay the sucker

i hate microshaft.

Doesnt Creative have a 60gb player. Vision-M

they dont make the vvision:m i have a 30 gig vision:m they now make flash based players, very nice even have a spot for sd cards. that's what i ordered

Sometimes when I'm in the car I listen to the radio or play a CD. The last portable music device I owned played cassette tapes. I never used the damn thing. True story.

I really have no clue what you are talking about, why would a glass play music?

why would you drive with a glass? drinking and driving is not good!

Well i managed to sell the replacement zune on ebay for what i have in it.... the poor bastard.



This is what i bought as a replacement, it's credit card size flash based player.

Flashed by a bass player? Huh? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

i have a 1gb zenV that's awesome. couldn't be happier with it. I don't find I need more than about 1gb at a time, cause i use it mostly for working out.



also i hate direcTV commercials.. fyi.

I got a free Ipod Nano yesterday from work. score

Should have bought the NBA version.



Its military grade and bullet proof.

I got a new Sandisk Sansa View for Christmas. Only recommendations are: get the 16GB version (Expandable to 24GB with an 8GB MicroSDHC card) and do a firmware update. This thing is thin and it rocks!

The zen is available in a 32 gig version as well with a sd card slot

your mothers a sd slot.
