Ten Free Downloads with Zune Pass Subscription

Nerd Grind — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:01:54 +0000

Microsoft’s Zune Pass subscription just got better. For $15 per month, you have access to all the songs in the Zune Marketplace but now you also get to keep 10 songs as well. That means for the price of a CD, you get to "rent" all the songs you want per month PLUS keep 10 of your favorite songs. Sounds like a bargain to me.

Why pay 99 cents per song in iTunes when you can have access to a plethora of songs for $15 bucks a month? I really think they have iTunes beat.

I personally hate iTunes, but have already vested so much money in buying seasons of Lost which I can’t watch on the go anymore because I got rid of the iPhone for the Blackberry Bold. I may be switching to Zune Marketplace today.

Canadian Retailer Offers 8GB Zune for $99 CAD – $82 US

Nerd Grind — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:00:47 +0000

In an apparent show of America’s deepening recession, Canadian retailer Future Shop is selling the 8GB Zune MP3 player for just $82 CAD. That amounts to $99 in the deflated American currency. That’s over fifty dollars less than anywhere in America. It is a limited time offer, however. It shoots up to $149 CAD in just six days, so you had better hop to it if you want to grab a deal.

Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer recently let some details go regarding the impending release of Windows Mobile 6.5. Motorola recently leaked that the OS was in the cards and Ballmer confirmed it. He didn’t go into details regarding specs, but he did hint at an improved UI. He also noted it would be the first Windows Mobile release to have Zune software integration. Windows Mobile 6.5 will probably see release in the first couple of months of 2009.

Guy who got Zune tattoo somehow one-ups himself

Once upon a time there was a legendary fanboy nicknamed "Zuneguy." Why you may ask? Well because he was the one person in the entire tech-iverse who loved Microsoft’s "iPod killer" so much that he had the logo forever emblazoned on his skin.

However, time has finally caught up with poor Zuneguy. He has had a change of heart. We don’t know if it was spurred on by the Zune’s pisspoor adoption rate or reported problems with the DRM. However, ZG decided it best to cover up that Zune tattoo, um, sort of anyways.

Not quite sure why he went with the "Zune logo acting as sort of pentagram in evil Dick Cheney’s head" thing but I’m pretty sure in thirty years when he’s an older Zuneguy he will remember the decision fondly. Tattoos are permanent, donchaknow.

Microsoft’s New Zunes are ready and reviews have been coming in from CNET, Zune Thoughts, and Zunerama.

Three new Zune models will be on store shelves tomorrow: the black Zune 80GB, which has a bright 3.2-inch screen and comes with premium in-ear noise-isolating headphones (ERP $249.99), and the slim, ultra-portable Zune 4GB (ERP $149.99) and the Zune 8GB (ERP $199.99), both available in pink, green, black and red. The new Zune models also feature the new Zune Pad, a touch-sensitive navigation button that lets people fly through menus or lists with the flick of their thumb, or click to easily change songs or adjust the volume. Every Zune player includes wireless sync and wireless sharing, a built-in FM tuner, and a bright color screen to display music, pictures, videos and podcasts. Existing Zune owners will receive all new software features via a free and easy upgrade, available Nov 13.

Worlds Most Advanced Racing and Entertainment Simulator

Or so the VRX site says.This impressive looking racing sim is designed with a Forza Motorsports 2 theme and three 37-inch Sharp Aquos 1080p LCD TVs. The frame is constructed from CNC machined polished aluminum, and envelopes the gamer by curiously including just one Sparco seat along with four Xbox 360 Elites, four copies of Forza Motorsport 2, an Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on player, camera / wireless headset, a Zune, force feedback wheel, and surround sound as well.

I didn’t find anything even remotely related to a price tag, so perhaps if we have to ask we can’t afford it! Btw, there is a sales email link onsite, just in case your curiosity gets the better of you. — VRX

Available June 15th (pre-order now), the $249 promotional Zune comes packin’ a 30GB disk loaded with a flood of Halorific music, video and artwork.

Welcome to the Social Covenant kids.
