Comments on: To Be Fair, Sales Figures Were Limited to Consumers Willing to Admit Owning a Zune http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20080509/to-be-fair-these-sales-figures-are-limited-to-consumers-willing-to-admit-to-owning-a-zune/ by John Paczkowski Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:03:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Mullinax http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20080509/to-be-fair-these-sales-figures-are-limited-to-consumers-willing-to-admit-to-owning-a-zune/comment-page-1/#comment-2413 John Mullinax Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:45:23 +0000 http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20080509/to-be-fair-these-sales-figures-are-limited-to-consumers-willing-to-admit-to-owning-a-zune/#comment-2413 I got the brown one as a gift (one of the original brick shaped ones). I like brown, and I actually found that I enjoyed having something different than everyone else. Definitely not a fan of the green. :-) Will probably move up to the blue one at some point. But following links on a related post I found the Microsoft news release -- and coolness -- it sounds like MSFT will deliver the best features as a software update so I only have to buy a new one to get extra storage/different color. Awesome! I got the brown one as a gift (one of the original brick shaped ones). I like brown, and I actually found that I enjoyed having something different than everyone else.

The BestBuy employee tried to tell me how it's so much better than an iPod. I was on my third iPod at the time. I had to restrain myself from laughing in his face after feeling the cheapness of the Zune, and knowing that Microsoft has already abandoned one group of music buyers who trusted their music would "play for sure."
