iTunes Costs a Lot, Zune Pass a Little

Tue, 12 May 2009 20:33:00 +0100

Microsoft have just beaten their last video, and not with the Songsmith one but this:

So $14.99 Zune pass for 10 tracks/month to keep, you can access more a month but as soon as you stop your contract you are left only with the downloaded tracks on your computer. If you did download the max 10 every month then it would be $1.49 each x 30,000 = $44,700

The other main point is if you could fit 30,000 tracks on it and could only get 120 tracks/year it would take 250 years of subscription to fill your Zune..

This has got me annoyed recently - Laptop Hunters $2000 - Sheila gets an HP HDX

There are a few more of these ads to be found and all will make you cringe even if you are a Windows user.

Laptop Hunters $1500 Lisa and Jackson get a Sony VAIO
