Why do you want a Zune?

sethmedia's avatar

I have and iPod and there are things I like about both

MrMontpetit's avatar

Why would you need a Zune if you have an iPod?

sethmedia's avatar

Just for the heck of having both

My little brother has a zune and loves it. It does have some nice features.

I don’t have the disposable income to have things for the heck of having both

MrMontpetit's avatar

I’m not saying Zunes are bad. (Wait, yes I am) But I’m just wondering why you’d need both.

sethmedia's avatar

Haha I have had every kind of iPod from the shuffle to the touch and I currently have the new nano, I just need a take anywhere MP3 player

sethmedia's avatar

One that I can beat the crap out of

MrMontpetit's avatar

You need to take anywhere MP3 player? Sorry for my lack of lack of understanding english, but what?

sethmedia's avatar

An MP3 player that I can treat like crap and not worry about it

squirbel's avatar

“A take-anywhere mp3 player,” is what he intended.

sethmedia's avatar

Haha but I actually take good care of my iPod

sethmedia's avatar

Zune has all the features except they are crap so I could just abuse it

MrMontpetit's avatar

An MP3 player you can beat up? That’s what the shuffle is for.

sethmedia's avatar

with a sceen, shuffles are gay I must admit

MrMontpetit's avatar

Basically what I’m saying is don’t waste your money on a Zune when you have all those iPods. But that’s coming from a cheap man, so if you have the money to waste, go ahead.

sethmedia's avatar

I only have one iPod I sell the old one every time I buy a new one that way I don’t loose money

sethmedia's avatar

gotta love eBay

squirbel's avatar

Well, since you have disposable income, can you buy me a Fluther t-shirt? My birthday is soon and I don’t have much to spare outside of bills.

:)

I’m semi-serious…

sethmedia's avatar

Haha I don’t either man, I sell stuff to buy stuff

sethmedia's avatar

But yea, Have an iPod I treat nice, a Zune to take everywhere and not worry about keeping it nice

@ sethmedia – My dad bought my brother’s Zune on woot.

www.woot.com It was refurbished but a great deal. I don’t know if your familiar but Woot only puts up one deal for 24 hours. When it’s gone it’s gone. Unless it is a woot off. Then it keeps changing for an undetermined amount of time.

I bought my 16 gig iPod touch for $100 off refurbished. I have had no trouble.

You can also go to www.bagsofcrap.com and set up something that will notify you when a Zune comes up.

What’s the point of having an iPod if you don’t want to take it outside of the house? That’s what cases are for.

Vincentt's avatar

Heh, I do the same with earbuds (except they’re less costly).

I find the rethoric “its features suck so I don’t have to be careful with it” a bit odd, though. What I’m doing with the earbuds is more “it’s cheap (and thus sucks) so I don’t have to be that careful with it”. I take the good ones when I know they’re not that much risk and I feel like listening to good music :P

fireside's avatar

You should just sen me your disposable income, I want an HD plasma tv.
Just for the heck of it.

Bri_L's avatar

@ vincentt – I do that to. I have a crap 7 dollar pair for mowing the lawn and the like because they get yanked out of my ears through ear protection so much or break.

I actually felt like that once. I wanted a Zune just for the heck of it and not care about damaging it because I am always over protecting my iPod I’m always worrying about it. But all my talk about how Apple is better I would look ridiculous to my friends. No Zune for me.

I just found this thread. If anyone is still following it, is sethmedia for real? Also, when he changed his story to “I sell them before I buy new ones,” it was suspicious. I wouldn’t be so down on him, if he hadn’t used “gay” pejoratively.

sethmedia's avatar

Woah man! lol I am real, I buy the new iPod’s every time they come out and just sell the old one.
