So this is the "XBoy"

lol it's steviep jr! he certainly posts as much as him, anyway

I like the huge screen, but the unit as a whole is ugly. I don't think there's any way microsoft would release it lookin like that.

LOL... yeah, I'm a Nintendo die-hard!! Explains the XBox in my living room. Just because I don't like Live, and, like most people, think Zune is so-far a stupid venture, doesn't make me some !!!!!!. Call me a person who's glass is half-empty, or a skeptic of nearly everything in this stagnant gaming industry that I've been a part of for over 15 years, but not a banned !!!!!!.

Odd, you talk about steviep like you know him. You didn't join the forums until months after he was banned. I don't remember anyone EVER saying steviep was banned for being an obsessive Nintendo zealot.

If that was Steviep this thread would be about how the DS and the Wii rule, and not about how Apple will wipe the floor with the Zune. The justification for starting this thread, imo, was correct in that this is a pretty stupid idea if the price point is anywhere near being correct.

The same goes for you. You didn't join the forums until 3 days after steviep was gone.


Also, how do you (vortexpud) and tosp know each other?

If you bothered to read my initial posts, you will have seen that I have been lurking since just before Christmas last year. It would take a complete moron to have missed who Steviep was. I also cannot speak for vortexpud since I do not know him. You seem to be tracking me as if I'm some fugitive and I can't say that I believe you're justified in doing so. Plenty of people join this forum, and plenty of people lurk and participate both before and after people get kicked and banned. And to be honest, if he wasn't banned for being a Nintendo zealot, I have no idea why he was. I didn't pay THAT much attention to this forum.

Anyway, this topic is about the Zune, not about Nintendo !!!!!!s. As such, maybe we should be talking about this MP3 player instead of things that are completely off-topic and out of line. I think I've made it quite clear that this "Zune" gizmo is the real deal, but it is not finalized or in production, but a concept that has been in the works for a long time. And, I've also made my opinion clear in that I consider it a failed venture unless this concept materializes much much better than it has so far (not to mention its speculated price point).

this is serious?

hmm.... that thing or my ipod nano?....

oh and stevep was banned?

Yes, he was banned, and this thread is off topic. Feel free to create a thread abouot the Zune in the computer and gadgets forums.
