Microsoft's "iPod killing" Zune music player will be jumping in the sack with Halo 3 in a few weeks. Rumor has it that an exclusive Halo 3 branded Zune will be available later this month online and show up in retail stores come June. But just like the newish pink Zune, it'll only be available in limited quantities. But we're not sure how "limited" the device will really be. Overall, we think the Halo 3 Zune is quite sexy in a subtle fanboy way, but would it make you, fellow fanboy, break down and purchase a Zune over an iPod?

Well, I already bought my first Zune, and am not happy with it. Looking at this, it looks pretty sweet...but it's still a piece of junk...but I want it...

I have had my zune since Xmas... only issue is that it is too sensitive to static. Shift in your chair and it resets on you. The screen and UI i enjoy much more than my ipod, so I would be a repeat buyer. Ipod or zune is just totally whichever floats your boat.
For those already with zune's I would recommend: http://www.360style.net/ for some nice backgrounds. I got Master Chief on now and he looks great with the brown, and that statisfies my halo 3 meets zune for now.
Now what would be a great thing for the Zune is if Halo 3 game playbacks can be saved onto your Zune for viewing at your leisure.

I know of only one person with a Zune. Everyone else I know has an iPod. He used to own an iPod but switched because the whole music sharing thing looked cool to him. The only good thing he's said so far about it is that the screen is bigger.
I'll keep my iPod.

If this came in a Zune-2.0 form I'd totally buy it. Instead of buying this, I'll wait a few months for a Zune-2.0.
And I'd never, ever - EVER - buy an iPod. They're horrible.

zunes need a major software overhaul.
add some new features, kill the bugs, then we'll talk.
Until then my 8gb nano is more than awesome.
weightless, tiny, long battery life, and loud. sure it's only 8gb, but thats more than enough for whatever my current top 200 songs are, and any other current playlists. what else could you want from a DAP?

I've had both and the Zune deff. kicks iPod's ass. People who are complaining about the iPod being so much better than the Zune are just pissed that they already bought iPods. Zune does absolutely everything the iPod does plus more. Enough said.

The Zune has been the victim of a rabid smear campaign by rabid Apple fanboys. It's not the touted 'Ipod killer' but it does well in the market for what it is, which is a solid and reliable MP3 player.
As for this limited edition... it looks like a bunch of leftover black zunes with some halo wording printed on it. I hope people aren't so easily suckered by something with the word "halo" printed on it, but who am I kidding?

I'd hit it.
But, I have an iPod, that works for whats its intended to do. Only bought it because, well, its cheaper, and it has my nickname engraved in the back of it.

The Zune isn't that interesting now. I thought "Man, this looks sweet. I wanna have my background to whatever I want!"
However, there are already iPod hacks were you can change your background, so this doesn't seem to be worth it.
Plus iTunes is heavenly. I couldn't find Eluvium anywhere else.
