I got an iPod 3rd gen like a couple of years ago, just for the hell of it (there weren't really any big HD players out there then).
Used it for 2 months, and got complete aggro of the sound of the thing. Basically, it sucks. The player was really slow too, plus it broke like 3 times.

So i started looking for a replacement, and bought the Sony NW A3000 (big purple pill thing). That was ffing awesome. The sound had never sounded so well!
But after almost 1 1/2 years of loyal service (and that, my friends, is a LONG time in geek-world for 1 gadget) the HD (20GB) was completely stacked with my music, and i realized it was time to look for something bigger.

No way i was going back to the IsuckPod, and ive always been a huge Microsoft-fan (kinda grew up DOSsing my way around the playground), so i was hugely disappointed when I found out that the Zune wouldnt come out in Holland for like another year!

But, my Zuneloving friends, there is a little thing called 'Marktplaats' in Holland (kinda like eBay), and there it was, a brown Zune, mint condish, for just 200 euros! (i think around 170 dollars, not sure)

Its coming this monday, and i CANT WAIT.

EDIT: Ill keep you all posted on how the installation and music transferring went, since I live in Europe and have to use 'adjusted' software; stay zuned.
