I really need some Zune advice.

Okay, so I'm buying a Zune because iPods break a lot and have have a shitty interface.I need your advice NS'ers I have $231.79 that I can spend on the Zune. My two options are the Zune 80 (80 gigs) or the Zune 120 (120 gigs). The 80 gig is $130.00 and the 120 gig is $150.00. So, I can afford the 80 gig as of current BUT the Zune 120 comes in a much doper color: blue. I feel like I will have 120 gigs of stuff for my Zune in a couple years, meaning I might regret getting the 80 gig.



Comparison:

>Zune 80< >Zune 120<
-cheaper -pricier
-stupid color -dope color
-less memory -more memory



Should I buy the Zune 80 right now?
OR
Should I save up twenty more dollars and buy the Zune 120?

Haha yeah I dunno. The main reason I'm gonna buy directly off of the site is because of how easy it is to get scammed these days. I have been working for the $230.00 since July so I don't wanna lose it ya know?

Great suggestion, then he can deal with the shit-fest that is iTunes.

I say go with the 120 Gig.  Its not that much more and when you fill up the 80 Gig you will kick yourself for not spending the extra cash.

ive had the 80 since the year it came out, after filling my original zune 30. zunes are definitely worth it and easy to use, let alone much sturdier than many an ipod. i say save up and get the 120.

You cant go wrong with the 120 for 20 more bucks. Ive had the 120 since christmas and it hasnt never failed me once. Hexic is super fun too. You can also sync it to your xbox 360 if you have one. go for it man.

Sounds like you don't need advice you sound like you want the space for a larger music collection and so go with the 120

OK now like you there was a time where I was like fack I need loadsa space for all my shit. I have about 150 gb of music but the fact is you never listen to half the shit.

I have now cut it down to about 60gb ish that I kinda listen to on a fairly regular basis and got rid of the stuff I never really listen to.

I have got 160Gb iPod when I had all that music but its just a pain in the arse searching for it all quickly.

I have had a Zune in the past, they are a much superior product and I really like them, I had the first version 30 gb one and was really impressed. If I still had a PC I would have re-bought one its a shame you cant get them for mac :( . Also my little bro has the new 80gb ones and they are sick.

But your better off just buying the cheaper one and just putting on what you wanna listen to.

A lot of the time I just make a playlist of about 15 songs or so and listen to that for a day or two on a shuffle and its a lot easier to carry around and just take the big fat thing when I go on trips. Its a much better combination imo and you would be better of sticking the extra $$$ towards a flash player.

and seriously watching portable video is pretty crap you get bored with it after a few months,

you might wanna look into archos as well if you do wanna watch video.
