You're not the only one, so don't worry about it.

You might need a UK power adapter. But there shouldn't be any other problems.

Will the Zune come with an A.C charger or not?

lpxxfaintxx · 11-07-2006, 11:01 AM

No, it will not... but it WILL come with a USB chord. You can charge and sync your Zune with it.

Foos · 11-07-2006, 11:03 AM

So i don't have to buy an A.C adapter then? I just really need to be sure about these things because if it doesn't work in the U.K then i'll have just wasted like Â£150.

putis · 11-07-2006, 11:07 AM

You do, he said it doesn't come included with the Zune, the only thing included with the Zune is the usb chord to use your computer to charge it.

Microsoft should just release it worldwide at the same time as it is released in America. Anyway, if i do manage to get one of these babies i'll be like the only person in college with one which would be cool, and also i'm having to rely on my old minidisk player since my old ipod broke 3 months ago.

Ya, I'm sure you'll be the shiz when you're the only one with a Zune. How did your ipod break by the way?

Foos · 11-07-2006, 11:18 AM

Well, it had been messing up for a while before it died as every time i plugged it into itunes it deleted all of the songs of it. Then, when i tried to put the songs back on again it overheated and just turned off with no songs on it. Then, when managed to get the songs back on it crashed and died on me.

. I'd had it since 2002 so i was well gutted.

Damn, that sucks. My friend's got fried by powered speakers. He kept plugging them directly into the ipod, and it fried his hard drive. Mine freezes sometimes, but I just reset it and it's fine.

I just need all my music in one place instead of carrying around loads of minidisks. It's gunna be sweet just selecting what music i want to listen to instead of what i have to listen to on my minidisks. Anyway, thanks for the info.
