[quote name='Nowell']Lol, low sales on the first gen probably. Nobody wants to buy a last gen product at full price.
As for the zune software sucking, 2.0 is actually quite awesome. I've never had any problems with album art or tags. And it doesn't lock up anymore like the original (the reason my zune went untouched for almost a year).
I actually prefer it to my ipod (which freezes every couple of days, and the only traveling it ever does is from my house to my car and back). The screen is gorgeous, and soon it will be getting homebrew games and stuff.[/quote]
i have a zune and the software totally sucks. there was a firmware problem that causes problems when you try to upload files onto the zune. I had to send it back to get it fix, took about a month. when i got it back the usb port of the zune broke within 2 days. so i had to send it back again and get that fixed. total time 2 months without an mp3 player.
I have an 5th gen ipod and 1st gen zune (got that for 70 bucks.) the zune is nicer than the ipod and the zune allows you to wirelessly sync so you can upload you files without any cables if you have a wireless network. but thats hella slow. if you get a zune that actually works, its better than a ipod, but ipods imo, are alot more reliable.
