Not So Best Buy

I don't know if you have been in to a local Best Buy to look at the Zune HD but I have and well its a real big let down.

Now dont get me wrong here - though I am no big fan of microsoft or windows for that matter but the Zune HD PMP is of interest to me and I am on the edge of getting one and was hoping to get some hands on to see how it feels. Seems that Best Buy has them for viewing but its not much better then seeing one on the internet or in a case. Hell is worse then seeing a video of it online since you get to touch it lashed to a post - powered if your lucky, I was not. How is this a way to sell a product, They pretty much insured I wont be getting one from Best Buy if I buy one and I won't be getting any games for my Wii from them either....

Just needed to vent....

Now by comparison I have to mention my experience at Borders the same day. I went there to look at a book about how we should probably change our diets by Mark Bitterman titled Food Matters (look here as to why) and I spotted the really good looking display for the Sony Reader... Hmmm they had two on display there marked with a warning that they were not working models... well I thought right that figures but as I was walking away a clerk told me that I could lift the reader to see a video presentation on the screen behind them and that after I asked that they were in fact working models.... well I did stop and toy around a bit and found that I liked the touch screen edition and feel really inclined to get one when I have the money....

That is a good example of the difference in a good display ... I had small interest in the sony reader but now may buy one while I had lots of interest in a Zune HD and still feel that I need a hands on to invest in one...

Food for thought...

and go check out the Sony Reader Touch... it may be B&W but it is a good item and with the opening of the drm its better then before... ...

Also still interested in an HD (hell Best Buy 's failings are not microsoft's fault) anyone know where you can test one....
