It's still an mp3 player except it's stylized in Halo colours which they're hoping they can get the gamer market to finally buy the Zune because it has Master Chief on it.

since they cannot seem to break into Apple's IPOD market, they are gonna work on their own gaming market to push their mp3 player in sales. So now they need you 360 fans to help them!

Will you halo nerds fall for it?

Halo was supposed to be Mac-Only in the first place. Microsoft never ceases to amaze me. And I don't think this reeks of desparation for Halo- but desparation for the Zune... Whatever they can do to make the brick sell!

Not really.

 

MS is dependent on windows...you know...that little thing you're probably using right now.

 

It's just an advertising campaign. It's not that big of a deal. Nor should it be in SW.

Moving parts FTL... I know one person with a Zune. Everyone else has iPods. There are... 4 people in my family, and 6 ipods (my mom and I both have shuffles for working out). Who would want a Zune when it reminds so many people of this:

Very true, the fact still remains that the Zune is the number two MP3 player on the market, and I must say it's a great, and a far better product compared to the iPod. Don't get me wrong, the iPod is great, but I just don't like it near as much as the Zune.

I freaking HATED my Ipod nano until I got "Anapod Manager".... best software in the world for the IPOD, lets you just drag and drop your music on your IPOD and theres no BS of having to completely reformat and update you IPOD if you have to re-install your comp.  But still I don't like apple as a company, and I don't like the software that it comes with, If I had to do it over again, I prolly would not have gotten my Ipod Nano.

apple and ipod own and anyone else is stupid for trying to seriously mess with them

nintendo and handhelds own and anyone trying to mess with them (sony) is stupid for attempting. apple and nintendo will always own the handheld/mp3 market. they have a true loyal fanbase unlike the one that was sposed to come over from ps2 to ps3.
