Microsoft announced today that it will be discontinuing production on the Zune. Let's take a look back at all the things that were never said about the supposed iPod killer. 

  1. "Oh, you have a Zune, too?"
  2. "What do you mean you have no more Zunes in stock?"
  3. "I enjoy using my Zune."
  4. "We have a customer who wants to know if he can exchange his iPod for a Zune."
  5. "This changes everything."
  6. "Apple better step up their game."
  7. "And the car comes with a place on the dash where you can plug in your Zune"
  8. "Two people bought me a Zune for my birthday. Best birthday ever?"
  9. "I'm worried someone might steal my Zune on the subway."
  10. "The Strokes have demanded one bowl of brown M&M's, one bengal tiger, and Zunes for the whole band. Or they won't go on."
  11. "Someone was just knifed and killed for their Zune. The eighth in what's now being referred to as 'The Zune Murders.'"
  12. "I think 'Zune' is a good name for a portable device."
  13. "Yes, I WILL fill out this free survey for the chance to win a free Zune."
  14. In the year 3000, at the Intergalactic Museum of Archaeology: "This Zune accurately depicted early forms of zargogs in the early 21st century."

What Your Favorite Thanksgiving Food Says About You
  • I have the original zune, I still love it, it works fine... :(
  • I love my Zune. I had the original 30gb in brown, and then got the 120gb That I still use.
  • I've had an IPod died on me within a year, I have a Zune and have no problem with it. Zune rocks harder than the ipod in my view. I also enjoy my lack of a douchey attitude from owning a Zune
  • I still have and use my original 30g white zune. I love it.
  • I miss my old Zune. Unfortunate that Microsoft will no longer be making them. Hopefully someone else will manufacture a quality MP3 player... as I will never, ever buy an ipod.
  • Zune beats iPod hands-down. Only problem is getting good accessories for it.
  • Never had any issues with my zune, it got stolen, but the two years i had it worked perfectly and enjoyed it. Easy to fix as well if the HDD goes out on it :)
  • Ipods and sound quality are mutually exclusive. The zune is/was actually probably the best sounding (reasonably priced) mp3 device on the market. Oh well. I guess you don't need sound quality when all you listen to is shitty indie rock.
  • LOL lots of people in denial, come on people really, you like zune, did you ever wonder why no one has one, except you? Microsoft makes shitty hardware, and barely comes close to software, you wonder why whenever apple makes something, Microsoft copies it? and its funny how most people own an ipod too, "Oh i have an ipod and zune and the ipod broke." yea ok lol, sorry to rant but its funny to see all this, its like looking at the sky and your trying to convince me its green.
  • one more thing........im sure you guys only own a zune because your grandma thought technology got better in alphabetical order
  • i've never seen a zune.
  • I love my Zune. Period someone actual did steal my 1st 30GB and I lost it. I don't need an MP3/Phone/espresso maker. I just want to listen to music.
  • Apple always had superior marketing, but they don't make a superior product because they don't have to. Who would make an 'A' grade product for $100 when you can make a 'B' product for $150 with better marketing. It just makes good business sense. Something the visionary Steve Jobs saw quite well. I'm a Zune fan myself, although reluctantly. Can't wrap myself around liking a product from a huge corporation like Microsoft.
  • Wow. All the Zune owners all in one place.
  • I loved my Zune. I hear all the rants, I don't dislike Apple or LOVE microsoft or anything like that. But I just really liked my Zune, it was easy, user friendly, and survived for 6 years (all the way through highschool, and I listened to it everyday). Apple has yet to make a convert out of me with any of their products.
  • Shit... I have two Zunes... lol.. wait 3... lol... But just like my ipod, I dont even use it.. smh.. just sitting there looking at me like... pick me up... lol.. I have way too many devices and get bored with em too easy.. I never got into the meat and potatos with the Zune, but it was cool, I liked it.. I know it probably wasnt " Trendy" but hey I dont suck dick either, and I know thats popular amongst todays young boys and girls... lol...
  • I like my Zune, I returned a Ipod after only owning it for a week. Go Microsoft!!!!
  • Yeah this is a pretty douch-ey article. Not only is it grossly inaccurate, but it smacks from recently ejaculated iJizz, Fucking iCulters make me sick. Enjoy your next slave-labored iFacefuck or whatever comes next.
  • the headphones for zune blow ipod shitphones out of the water .. i could play them at full volume all day and they haven't blown yet whenever i get an ipod as a gift i just give it away to someone poorer than me who obviously needs it more than me kudos to zune hopefully americans will realize they are brainwashed and start buying products that dont waste billions of dollars on advertising which in turn raise the price of their products by 200 percent
  • The iPod had better marketing Thx to Jobs, but the Zune is a far better product its just Microsoft couldn't compete with the marketing genius that was Jobs but now we wait and see what will happen over the next 5 years in tech I for one have a feeling that the i line will drop substantially in its popularity.
  • I had my Zune for four years before the hard drive died on it. That thing was awesome. Anyone who has ever owned one has always enjoyed their Zune. It sucks to see a great product go away because of all the sheep. Also, using iTunes to add songs to your library and copy them to an iPod is a fucking nightmare in comparison.
  • The ear-buds that come with the zune are awesome, and a 16 gig was like the same as an 8 gig Ipod.
  • I've had my 80gb Ipod classic for 4 and 1/2 years. Screw microsoft. Mac 4 lyfe.
  • I have had my Zune for 5 years and it is still going strong. Not only that my fiancee got one too and loves hers too. Too bad such a great product died due to advertising! The program lives on though!
  • Zune had a better way of putting songs on the device, ipod is fucking lame as shit. I'm glad Steve Jobs died cuz that piece of shit should have been hung by his international slaves.
