Real or Not Real?

My Bro just gave me this screenie he saved on my pc.

He said he logged into the zune site and then started looking at the framework and links to pages and stuff on the site. (he wouldnt go into much detail).

He reckons he found news about a firmware update which we are waiting for, but i looked again on my pc with my self logged in, and i got him to log in too and cant see it.

Has he just photoshopped this to annoy me, or does it look genuine?

JMcCaf · 05-19-2007, 02:15 PM

It's photoshopped. He spelled means wrong.

David · 05-19-2007, 02:19 PM

lol... this is so fake...

like JMcaf said... he spelled means wrong...

and the last sentence looks pretty suspicious. they would say wireless network... just just wireless.

Aden · 05-19-2007, 02:53 PM

Hmm, I believe you on that, but i was just shown it again in action.

Shall i upload a screen capture video?

David · 05-19-2007, 03:32 PM

if you feel like it.

Marshillboy · 05-19-2007, 03:36 PM

Fake:

1) Downloading songs on your zune from the marketplace would require a new firmware update: Version 1.4. According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926770/, however, the latest version is only 1.3.

2) He misspelled meens, and the sentence structuring seems sketchy.

theDark · 05-19-2007, 04:52 PM

did microsoft say that there where adding the ability to use the marketplace in wifi hotspots though?

ACE · 05-19-2007, 05:13 PM

Hey Aden,

How 'bout instead of a screen shot get us a link.

Aden · 05-20-2007, 02:31 AM

I know, i didnt believe him either.

He had used a firefox extension to edit the page (firebug), and tricked me into it. So it still looked like a functioning page, with everything open.

Sorry about this guys.

David · 05-20-2007, 09:26 AM

no need to be sorry... this is the place to ask questions like that.

Hi Everyone!
I'm Andre. I live in Maine, USA. I'm 57 years young. Hobbies include reading, writing, computer gaming, listening to music, audiobooks and videos on my new SanDisk and Zune players. Love all types of music, but somehow am drawn to electronic music...love artist like Andy Caldwell and Booka Shade, and many independent artist at eMusic. Zune Marketplace looks good and wondering what some of you that may be using it, think of it as a source of good music.
Will post in Forums Section, but wondering what people have to say about places like Zune Reactor, Z-Downloads, Zune Video Pro and MP4Advanced. Are these as good as they portray themselves to be or are they scam sites. Zune Reactor seems to be the top rated site, but unsure whether it's all that it's made up to be. I'm looking for advice and hope some of you can shed a little light on my confusion.

crimsonwolf · 05-20-2007, 05:15 PM

I would strongly advise you against them, if you want music (the legal way) use Marketplace, if you want movies (once again, the legal way) use retardedrabbit.com (not sure if its spelled right). BTW this should go in introductions or help and support section. Welcome.
