Default Why did you buy ur zune?

ive been browsing thro alot of the topics in this forum recently and they have me wondering y some ppl got a zune and not a psp or something like that

the zune is by design a media player for playing media, nothing else, it doesnt need more eye and finger candy like the ipod because it is, simply put, better

i bought a zune when i used to have an ipod nano. that thing was nice, but i got sick of the ui. it was boring and too plain. plus the 4gb it had was simply not enough for my media needs. the zune provided just enough of what i wanted with 30gb and video as well.

it also was the best media player that was not an ipod around (in my opinion of course)

I chose:
-music
-video
-radio
-greater cap
-not to go with flow

But besides these, I also chose the Zune because the look was superior to other players on the market.

I didn't have to purchase my Zune as it was already purchased (it was originally my mum's boyfriend's). When he wanted to sell it, I decided to keep it for the videos, pictures, and the larger screen. =3

I bought a Zune because my 30GB iPod Video was out of space and the iPod Classic wasn't worth the money since it was barely an upgade. The Zune 80 was a much more reasonable option even though I would sort of give up iTunes.

I have to say, I loved the huge screen and it was something that I knew was going to be big and it wasn't the same as everyone else's iPod.
