Just bought my first Zune. It is a 120
Got one of the last ones from a BestBuy in Calgary, Canada. As far as I could tell, you could still buy them on bestbuy.ca as of today. A friend of a friend works for FutureShop and says Microsoft stopped shipping Zune 120's (didnt ask about the flash ones) to Canada a while ago.
That sucks cause Zune HD only maybe max 64GB? AND in Canada we will have to wait a millenium before they ship them up here after US launch.
I bought the Zune 120 to copy over my entire WMA Lossless library and FM radio. Those were compelling enough reasons to buy it. I am hoping maybe with Zune 4.0 I will be able to play my WMC SD recordings too. Even if I wanted to watch HD shows on my Zune, in Canada the majority of us are stuck getting HD through cable or satellite which is near impossible to get HD recordings going (FireSTB for the techies) through Windows Media Center.
I am not fooling myself, Microsoft seems to have abandoned Zune in Canada from a music perspective. No marketplace and now no monster drive version. Zune HD seems incompatible in features for what I want. Thank goodness I found a 120 when I did. My old MP3 player just died a month ago. Hadn't even considered a replacement until last week.
