For 24 weeks now, I’ve been providing links for Zuneinsider readers to download new, free music. I’m sorry to say, dear blog reader, but I’m actually running out of ways to introduce the tracks. Hence, today, I’ll just say: have a butcher’s: First up, by request: Stereogum has a Ghostface vs. Spoon Mashup. And a bunch [...]

Well, clearly this device isn’t officially endorsed by the big boys at Sony, but that didn’t stop a small, presumably China-based manufacturer from cashing in the PlayStation brand. The amusingly-named PS3 Game Player comes with a form factor not unlike the PSP, but its graphical prowess seems to be a far cry from the official [...]

Ok, whether yet another Zune photoshopping or not, there is a red Zune out on eBay. Yes, I did say a RED Zune. Whether the player inside is the Watermelon Red or not, I’m not too sure of currently. However, there are two shots of the casing, which is surprisingly similar to the limited edition [...]

Microsoft has announced that the new Pink Zune, released about a month ago, sells quite well leaving behind his White and Brown brothers.

Are you tired of the Zune software? Would you like to use the standard Windows Media Player to synchronize your content with Zune? Well, one Zune enthusiast has set out on a quest to do just that. A user over at Zunerama is getting tantalizingly close, getting WMP to see the Zune [...]

The June issue of Game Informer has a feature about gaming’s big questions. One of these is whether or not the PSP is a failure. Unsurprisingly, these claims are reduced to nothing more than simple falsities, spouted by Sony haters. As the Game Informer article smartly states: “How does selling 10 million units equate to [...]

A new hack allowing users to view the contents of their Zune on Windows Media Player 11 appeared. As you may know, Zune Software is a skinned WMP11 installation with some restrictions and some security systems added. Because of them you can't (yet) sync your Zune or access the Zune Marketplace from WMP11…

"Which one is better? The Zune or the iPod? Difficult to say but CNET-Crave found a way to avoid fan bias. They did a simple "Coke-Pepsi challenge" with people in the street. Participants had to listen to each player and tell them which one sounds the best. Of course, just like the old "Coke-Pepsi [...]
