The TPU Zune Social

[DanishDevil]

I ended up ordering the Zagg Invisible Shield off the Egg. Unfortunately, it didn't arrive before I came home for Thanksgiving, so I decided not to bring my Zune with me. I should have a play on Monday

Let me know how it is! I've got the Speck one, but I still kinda want an all clear case to keep the size down, and show off my...

Soon to be Gears of War 2 Limited Edition 120GB Zune!!!

 

[Cold Storm]

I was thinking of going with that one... Parents want to get me a Itouch, and i said no... Now, I'm thinking I should tell them to grab a 120 Zune and be all set to go... Don't know of anything to get for that price...

 

[DanishDevil]

If you're a fan of Gears, get a Gears one like me!

How much is an iTouch? Like $300ish, right?

 

[Cold Storm]

Ipod touch is $229 for 8gbs and $299 for 16... My parents went to a Apple store in Wisconsin, and have been apple freaks since then.. Me, I really could care less.. The touch is a flash drive, and won't and can't handle going from one extreme to another. Where as the zune is a hdd sytle that doesn't hurt from that..
They even said, leave it at home when you work... Lol.. What's the point on spending that money if you can't use it when YOU WOULD use it??

So, I'm thinking of grabbing a 120...

A site you might want to add on the first post is Decalgirl. It's a great site that you can get Zune, and other electronic covers for... It's not a bad price for one ether... TO bad no 120 yet..
BTW: Decalgirl is, I believe, US only

 

[DanishDevil]

Is the 120GB the same size as the 80GB or not? They looks the same: http://assets.gearlive.com/blogimag...16-compare/009-zune-120-80-compare_medium.jpg

I say snag a 120, and sell the 80 on your local Craigslist. If it's in great condition, I bet you can get $170ish for it.

 

[Cold Storm]

It's the same one, just the size of the hdd. As you can see, the 4-8-16 is the same size, then the 80-120 is too. It's probably, due to the size of the hdd. But, for $20 dollars more, you jump 40gbs... To me, that just CRAZY stuff!

I don't have the 80.. I have the 30.. Old style.. lol

 

[DanishDevil]

Yeah! I love it. With the iPod Classics, it used to be like $50-100 to jump in HDD size. From the pricing, it almost looks like they're beginning to phase out the 80GB models for the 120GB models, like Apple did with the Classics. Now I want to see that blue one! That color looks freakin' cool.

BTW, that site is AWESOME! I'm pretty sure I'm getting my mom this one:

Her name is Star, and her favorite color is green. She is absolutely INFATUATED with any green star on the planet. She'll love it

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, they could be fazing out the 80's.. It's not a bad way to do it ether..

I'll have to show you once I get home what I'm getting. It matches my Xbox 360

I just got my wife a 4GB Zune for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. I also love it and will be getting myself one eventually. Just wanted to say that.

I will be selling mine sometime in December/January probably for $50-60 Shipped ConUS (I always ship USPS 2-Day Priority Insured). ;-)

Sweet! I kinda want to get a skin for my 360 as well. I've got two now teeheehee. I think I'll leave my Elite in mint condition, and skin my Premium. It won't match my Zune, though...

The thing that I like about Decalgirl, is that it's a hard plastic that covers the system. The skin isn't like it is if you got it from Gamestop or BB.. So, it doesn't damage it if the system is on and heat's the thing up.

I don't know if the Zune is that way, but I believe that the 360 is a shell.

 

[DanishDevil]

The Zune skin is not like that. That's cool about the 360 one, though.

 

[Cold Storm]

awww, wish it was like that... I'll have to think twice for mine since I go from cold to hot all day long.. Don't want to do something to it, even if I am keeping it till it dies..

Just installed the invisible shield now, so should be able to play around with it tomorrow I was a bit disappointed to see that the flaps to cover the sides that are on the back panel aren't quite long enough and thus leave the front edges and the corners a bit exposed, but meh, that's less noticeable than the front and back faces. I'll post some pics tomorrow to show you what I mean

I'm considering purchasing a zune (when I get a job), I'll probably get a 120GB because of improved battery life over the 80GB and it's probably only gonna be about £150.

I think you should also state what headphones you use with it too, how do the stock ones sound?

 

[Cold Storm]

I have some Sennheiser MXL 51... I love them... The best head phones I've ever had... Even better then the noise cancelling ones..

Just to mention, the 120GB doesn't come with the "premium" headphones like the 80GB did, so expect the usual craptastic quality stock type buds

 

[JoshBrunelle]

I've got a pair of Sennheiser hd280's. They sound awesome, haven't let me down in years.

 

[Cold Storm]

I'm a Sennheiser lover... I can wear my Computer set of Sennheisers around 6 or so hours before I would ever think of taking it off.
I'm really thinking into getting a full size set.. My bro is selling his, but for $300... I'm really not liking it all for the price... Since you have to have a amp with it...

 

[DanishDevil]

Thanks WC Annihilus for that tip about the headphones. I didn't realize that. Even the Gears 2 LE comes with the standard headphones. It's really a shame that they did that.

I definitely want a pair of HD280 Pros. Ever since I first listened to a pair, I knew I had to get one.

As far as earbuds go, I have the Bose Triport earbuds, and they sound great, but they broke. I'm gonna try to get them replaced, but if I don't, what do you guys recommend I look into for around $100? I want to be able to listen to music comfortably while I sleep (on my side, with the earbuds in my ears).

You will love it, BUT if it has 3.0 FLASH IT TO 3.1 NAOW!
3.0 has so many bugs its retarded. Locked up 8 times in 9 days when I did it... moved to 3.1 and it hasn't locked up 1 time.

[WC Annihilus]

Came with 2.0. Just let the software do its work and went straight to 3.1

 

[Flyordie]
