I'm new here and I know nothing about Zunes!

I bought it from eBay in June, cos I live in England and they cease to exist here!

Anyway knowing nothing of teh zune, I simply uploaded the software, popped all the media on there, set up soem podcasts and away we go...

Fast forward to yesterday and mr. zune needs to update himself? Ok I'll go along with it...It's all done and then I find GAMES! WOW! HOW FREAKING COOL!

Now, how do I get more games because the poker game is easy and the other one is garbage. Will I have to pay for more games? Is there even any other games? Can people tell me cool stuff about the Zune, I've just been using mine as an mp3 Player...

*EDIT : I only just looked up and saw ZUNE GAMES on the toolbar...but i don't understand all this! I wish I took ICT at school

before the update, we made our own games, pretty much getting into the zune software itself (some boffins that know coding) and built and installed there own because we couldnt wait for them any longer. Then when M$ released them our ones dont work. But again the boffins have prevaled if you have a look on the homepage they have already i think made it so they work. I also live in england and also feel your pain

Go there, which will let your ZUNE CARD (look it up, all it does is after you have an account count your plays and stuff, i like it) anything else you need to know? ive had my zune for over a year and still love it!! with all the updates it never gets old =]

ZUNE SOFTWARE not updating the folders on hardrive as they change. Don't know what to do to fix.Does ZUNE need to be plugged in. It appeared an auto sync with hardrive and a "click" SYNC when ZUNE plugged in ?

ok, run zune and sign up. you can sign up but because of the region it wont let your zune card update. close zune software and run app from above and start it again, leave the software for about half an hour playing music and eventually it will count your plays.

And VNG what do you mean by folders? what folders and what are you doing with them? When updating folders on your zune you must have the zune plugged in. If you want to have album art which is on your software but not on your zune you have to delete it from your zune first, then put it back on which will let the art follow.
