Personally though, I like the 33 hours of music.

But, the lack of info for the Canada release easily trumps any other annoyances.
You do realize that converting files has almost nothing to do with graphics cards, right? It's almost entirely the CPU handling that.

That being said, I have a quad core CPU in my PC, so I won't have a problem converting files either

You would be right if you are talking about old or cheap computers. However, on modern computers with decent graphics cards, converting video files has quite a bit to do with graphics cards.

You do realise that Badaboom is CUDA enabled and uses your graphics cards, right?

That is irrelevant. He was saying that the converter that he uses (Badaboom) does use his graphics card and that is why he does not mind having to convert videos.

it says English French Spanish, Does that mean Asian characters are gonna be in blocks again? I read somewhere that the New zune is gonna support more languages, I can't find that post anymore, also that was what they said about the 2nd gen. If no Asian Language support, I guess I'll have to skip the zune again.....

That means the firmware/software will be available in those languages. The Zune HD will support Unicode, so non-Latin characters should show up fine.

Thats like saying that before May 26, the Zune HD leaked photos were incomplete/incorrect.

It might not support Unicode at launch, but if it does not, it will soon.
