you guys getting Zune HD next month? It is a new PMP by Microsoft that will feature some games and apps, among a lot of other features.

Comes out September 8th, comes with HD Radio, 480x272 OLED 3.3inch Multi-Touch Screen, WiFi, A mobile Web Browser CNET called "Smoking" fast and just as good if not better than iPhone browsing, it measures 0.35 inch thick, it also has the Nvidia Tegra CPU which will give the device upwards towards 100 hours of music playback on one charge, the 16GB model will sell for $219.99 ($80 less than iPod Touch 16GB) and 32GB for $289.99 ($110 less than 32GB iPod Touch) it will have a accelorameter as well.

I'm picking one up and giving my 120GB Zune to my dad, anyone else in the market for a new PMP?

I've been watching the news on these. But to answer your question, no. I just bought a 120gb zune 5 months ago and can't justify buying a new mp3 player already. I wouldn't get it anyways, because first gen products are always obsolete in a short time anyways.... so i'll jump on for the next version which will hopefully have a larger hdd, HD videos are large files you know. Though I may screw myself over when I buy it, because they will most likely announce a new zune/game handheld/phone device right after I jump on board.

Yeah, I plan on getting one. My first gen 30gb Zune is still going strong, but it's about time to upgrade. The screen has a slight crack in it, so I def could use a new one.

My 80 GB Zune hit its first birthday last month. So, while the Zune HD looks amazing, I don't think I'll be needing a new one just yet.

Same here. I've had mine for the past year and I've had no problems yet. Besides, I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon, and I need all the loot I can get.

If it had blue tooth I would. I realize that it doesn't provide the best quality for music but it's good enough for when you're working and don't want to deal with those pesky wires.

I'm from the UK and own a Zune 80gb. I may get this depending on their ebay prices :) They do look stunning though. Just a bit concerned about scratching that lovely screen :( My current Zune is very scratch resistant but I reckon this one isn't going to be...

I'd love to, but I bought a 120 GB Zune just a few months ago. No sense replacing it this early.

I'm planning on getting one if it comes out next month at a good price... But the prices you're showing aren't the confirm price... Thats amazon's Pre order price that could change and most likely will.

I don't have the money to get it Day One. It might be a Christmas present.

I have the original and its getting old, its been a little more than 2 years.

I doubt it, I prefer the normal Ipods (Classic or whatever they are called). Wish I still had mine, to bad it got stolen. :(
