Looking at the new Microsoft Zune media player that's going to go up against the iPod.

Some of you may remember me talking about how well Microsoft did with Media Center 2005 and the Xbox360 pairing. It's a beautiful thing. Can't find a flaw with how these two systems work together streaming the media files of saves television and music to the Xbox.

So who in the hell thought it was a good idea to NOT include the .ms-dvr format with the new Zune? From what I've read the Zune pretty much had the Media Center on it, minus the TV section.

I was ready to buy one upon release if it included Media Center support. Now I'll wait until someone over there finds a clue.

I was wondering why they made one in brown.

Ugh.
It's not me, it's someone else.

The brown one actually looked better than I'd imagined. Not by much, but not quite as hideious as I'd envisioned it to be.
