I got a Zune for Christmas. It wasn't my first choice but not disappointed at all. Its great. I also got the kit that hooks the Zune up to the TV. Yes, it was sweet. I'll try my Zune remote with my 360 later.

I actually wish my media center remote wouldn't also turn on the 360. :( It means that I have to turn off the XBox manually whenever I turn on my Media Center PC.

I HAD a Zune. I returned it two days later. I simply was not happy with it. I actually kind of like the design and wound up with a black unit.

I have to say that out of every thing, I was very happy with its actual menu system and performance. It was easy to navigate, it was attractive and it was quick.

But at the end of the day, I felt weird. I didn't like the software, for one. I could be wrong, but it appeared to transcode items you would send to it (certainly that's what the settings menu implies) and it would massively compress album art to the point that having a huge screen wound up being kind of detrimental.

Plus, you know, the extremely limited file format usage... the same reason I wasn't interest in an out-of-the-box iPod (with Rockbox it looks OK).

I wound up returning it and getting a Zen Vision:M, which I'm very happy with.

Zune owner and love mine. My wife has a 30 gig ipod 5G and I prefer my zune over hers for the better screen, menus and better texture of the case.

Also a Zune is not meant to compare to a Nano, they are completely different market segments. Its like comparing a Hummer to a Mini Cooper.

Zune owner here, but I don't have a remote so I won't be using this.

#4 (Josh): You can turn that off in the settings on your 360.

I got one (Brown FTW). It was a tough choice between this and the Zen, but I decided that with MS backing there would be a lot more accessories and mods.

I have one and I love it. I just wish they would just get the bugs worked out with the software. Its very buggy on Vista.

I had an iPod, sold it, and bought a Zune. I'm soooooooo much happier with the Zune.

I got a Zune too. Wrote a long comment a few hours ago, but it never showed up, so this one is shorter. I love it. Got it yesterday.
