"Microsoft sets price for Zune" - Jerry® - 09-29-2006
From CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/ptech/09/28/microsoft.zune.reut/index.html
"Microsoft's 30-gigabyte Zune will retail for $249.99 -- 99 cents higher than the iPod with the same amount of storage -- when it goes on sale November 14." ...
"The Zune, a rectangular media player with a round click wheel, is similar in appearance to the iPod but slightly bulkier and has a larger 3-inch screen." ...
"Microsoft also announced it will sell a music subscription pass for $14.99 a month, allowing users to listen to any of the songs on Zune Marketplace. It pledges to offer 2 million-plus songs at launch. After the pass expires, users will not be able to access those songs."
Zune + Napster + Microsoft = Zaprocrap
LOL! Can't wait till Zuners forget to renew their monthly subscriptions and all their music goes bye-bye.

I prefer Zapstersoft, but hey.
Rest assured that M$ won't make it too easy to forget your monthly fees.

Uglier, bulkier, and not any cheaper than an equivalent iPod.
A subscription service where you don't own the music you're paying for.
Man, this thing is really gonna be DOA.

It's a nice shade of brown. Maybe this is hinting at what it really is. A turd.

Subscription services fail. No one wants to pay $15/mo for eternity.

Does Tivo sell content?

No, they don't even provide anything, just an on-screen TV guide, and they program your DVR for you automatically.

Who thought up that hookie subsciption service idea? That has to be the worst if they are trying to catch iPods.....Who would subscribe and download music that disappears?
