    Finally picked up a zune today and I really like it

    Hi All,

     

    I finally picked up a zune 8 today.  It's a nice black one.  Not to recap other reviews but I really like.  Interface is great, WIFI syncing is great.  sound quality is great!  Very happy so far.  I purchases from a Target in Erie PA (down here from Canada for a couple of days on March Break). I got it for 179.99 plus a 20 giftcard from target.  $160 for 8 GB seems like a good price.  I found it a little frustrating though.  The sales staff at Target new nothing about the zune, they did not have any zune 80's.  There wasn't a display or any display models to play with.  I asked the guy behind the counter and he said his MS guy was supposed to come in to set up the display months ago, and never showed.  It's really unfortunately as the I think the zune is great.  Marketing and sales still aren't there though.  Ipod crap was everywhere, quicktunes gift cards, accessories galore.  come on MS get the word out on these devices.

    Welcome to the Social Big Smile [:D]

    I've had mine since Christmas and really love it so far. I have the first gen 30gb but its been a great product for me so far. A bit of a bummer that it doesnt integrate well with other MS products. Hopefully we'll see some better integration down the road.

    The website 'Social' part is pretty cool. It's still in beta but it's an interesting twist. I have the fortune of working in a rather large company so I actually work with 6 guys who have Zunes as well. Having that advantage has actually allowed me to share things with other Zuners. I'm sure I'm in the rare group with that as an option.

    I really wish it would catch on more though.
