So I finally got an MP3 player. Due to certain circumstances, the finances were lacking around the 25th of December at my house, so not until today was I able to pick up my main Christmas present. Of course, I had to chip in a little moola ($100..)to get this gift, but let me tell you, it was worth it.

I picked up a brown Microsoft Zune and my initial reaction is that it is completely awesome. 3" screen makes quite a difference when you are watching videos, and the interface is way nicer than the iPod. The "clickwheel" is nice, but after a while it got a bit annoying to me, and this new thing on the Zune is much better to me.

I'm just waiting to upload my CDs and purchase some new CDs/songs on Zune Marketplace.

If you are ready to pick up an MP3 player and can't decide between an iPod or something else, I'd suggest a Zune. It's more stylish, has a bigger screen, and is just better than others in general.

I'm ready to show it off.
