I can't decide between a iPod Video and an H3 Zune. What would be better?

If you're a true Halo fan go for the Halo 3 Zune. It has a build-in radio and you can share your music with others VIA it's Wi-Fi.

EDIT: More Halo 3 Zune details here (http://www.zune.net/en-us/meetzune/halo/default.htm).

lol, My PSP screen broke, beyond repair, but since I new the XMB interface well, I just put music on it and used it.

But if i were going to choose, I'd go with an iPod video. Since the Zune was basically a cheaper copy.

Yeah, the Halo 3 Zune costs the same as an iPod Video and has the same functionality and more. Get that. I personally could care less for the radio and already own all of the stuff that comes on that zune on my iPod.

Question: How much music do you have? It will aid me in the perfect player for you.

Neither. They're both horrible.

It's like you're renting music.

I used to hate my zune, but now I like it because it finally decided to sync with my computer.

Also zune has alot more hacks IMO that dont involve upgrading firmware in the zune (so you can load DVD's and stuff on there) haven't tried it myself though.

I would say go with the H3 zune, your video game friends will be "omfg" over it.

Zune all the way man. Can't beat the 3inch screen. XD I'm going to get mine actually here in the next week, i'm not getting the Halo 3 one though, just a black one. I don't need all that extra stuff.

I voted Zune, but i use a Ipod Nano. I use the Nano simply because i don't need a lot of memory for my music. I'm not big on music but i do enjoy certain songs, the Nano is good and has been reliable. Its also small, but easy to lose. I think if you are a music/video/pictures addict i would defiantly go with Zune. It seems to have a lot more feachers than Ipod and the Halo 3 one looks :awesome: .

Ipod. Only COOL people have ipods.
here let me fix that for you.

Ipod. Only COOL people every one have has an ipods.
I for one don't really like iPods do to the fact that they aren't very hardy. and dust gets between the clear screen cover and the screen and you can't take the clear screen cover off to wipe or blow the dust off. and the amount of memory the Ipod has is it, when it's full it's full. I don't know about zunes but I've heard that they can drop 2 feet onto the road and still work. but I have a SanDisk Sansa which I can cleen the screen it's self if need be, and it takes SD micro cards which is really nice. and it's only 4 gigs of memory, built in FM radio, you can play videos, you can upload photos onto it and you can record voice. but if you really want a Zune, go for the Zune.

Zunes APPARENTLY suck, I wouldn't get something, just because it has a brand on it.

Proof my good sir? :hist101: 3 days until I get my Zune, and as far as I have read, there has been nothing wrong with it tech wise. People just think that the iPod is the "cool" thing to have because EVERYONE has one.

The ipod has far more accessories and add-ons available, plus they are trendy, hip, cool and popular. But if your really into being a geek and proud, go with the zune. It might lower your chances of getting laid, but meh, you can keep your pr0nz on your zune.

What's better, you can impress the ladies(and slightly scare them) with your awesome modding ability with the iPod. Google Rockbox.

I'd say Zune. If you've never used an iPod, it'll be easier to adjust to the controls, assuming your old mp3 player didn't have a scroll-wheel. Also, disregard Jahrain's biased advice. There's nothing geeky about a Zune. In fact, anybody who's seen my Zune has regarded it with interest and questions me about it, because it is sleek, and differs from the wheel-on-a-box, everyday look that people come to expect from iPods (that and it's exclusive to America, which means I'm one of the only two people in my school with one). Also, it will NOT lower your chances of getting laid. In fact, the only negative social side effect from any of the two devices is that the iPod will increase your chances of dancing around like a fool, similarily to the iPod commercials. Vote Zune. Vote America.

Ipods don't have built in radio. so they're not as "Cool" as ever one says.
