Bad idea to buy a Zune 80?

Waspinators · 04-14-2008, 02:54 PM

I'm trying desperately to sell my Zen Vision: M and Zen Stone to get the money for a Zune 80, and I doubt I'll end up selling it before around June, so do you guys think it's a bad idea to buy a Zune 80 that late in the year? Considering the new one should be released in a short time, you think I should wait?

no...in fact, I think the Zune 30, Zune 4/8 and Zune 80 will be getting the same updates as the new one...since by Holiday all Zune should be capable of playing XNA games.

The beta for XNA games start in May.

I think it would be a good time to get it now
There are rumors saying the new zune won't come out till' 2009(but you can't always trust rumors)
I just bought one recently, and i like it alot, so i say just buy it, though it's your decision
so good luck deciding, and i hope your happy with whatever you decide to do

Join us! You won't regret it. The Zune 80 is an excellent MP3 player.

I just bought a zune 8 2 weeks ago. Try to buy it earlier then June if u cant u can always wait untill 2-3 more moths to find out if new versions will be coming out.

I got one of the 30s when they first came out and have never regretted it. Just get it and don't worry about not getting new features. The updates take care of almost all of that anyway.

Well. as some others have said, remember that you WILL receive a firmware update with the 80 gig when the new models come out if you choose to buy it. The only advantage to waiting for another update would be battery life, screen size/resolution, possible touch screen, and memory. If these do not concern you too much, then the zune 80 would be a great choice for now.

I love my Zune

Buy one it is worth it!!

In advance, Welcome to the Social!

i highly doubt the new version battery and memory is gonna be better than zune 80. when the touch screen comes out it's gonna be like ipod touch, barely any memory. zune 80 is the best mp3 player out there and maybe even for years on!

Zune simply owns.

I traded out my Zen Vision M and haven't looked back. The 80 is a much nicer MP3 player than the M. The M did have its upside, but I doubt you'd ever regret getting the Zune 80 over the M.

mr.handsomeman · 04-17-2008, 08:31 AM

buy it man! as stated before....the updates keep you happy, and the 80 is the best mp3 player anyways, you won'y be dissapointed.

Blayde · 04-17-2008, 11:08 AM

I sold My Zen vision too, though not the M, but i'm still happier right now with the 80

Icy Mt. · 04-17-2008, 12:53 PM

Buy it. Now. You won't be sorry. I've had mine for 2 weeks and I love it.

I have only one warning: If you are like my boys and are not careful with expensive toys...$250 might be a little much to pay for an MP3 player. Zune 80's are not as indestructible as the Zune 4/8. The 80 has a huge screen and moving parts (hard drive).
