Not really, especially if the seller doesn't give any information about that. If there is warranty, I guess you can get that by shipping the item back, though that's a bit complicated. I would rather take it to a local electronics service instead, of going to the process of shipping, waiting for service then shipping back. That could take up to 3 months, so...

My opinion would be that you wait a little more. There too many uncertain things that may ruin your experience, especially that buying from ebay is not always the safest method to get quality stuff.

I suggest you wait a little, try to find out exactly if it will get to Europe. If yes, wait and get it from Europe. If not, get it through a store that ships over-seas, or by a friend that you trust from US. E-bay would be my last resort, in case everything else fails.

Anyway, if you have money to spend and can afford to get another one if anything happens to the one you saw on e-bay and you are also too impatient, get it :p.

I read some articles saying that it probably doesn't come to europe :(
The only thing I can find is eBay, but the reseller is Top Rated and has only good comments. (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Microsoft-Z...Item&pt=Other_MP3_Players&hash=item45f02fd5a7)
I suppose I could probably go to a local tech store. Hmm, I think imma go ahead and buy it.

Yeah, I think it'll be ok, seeing the 100% positive :p.

Oh, and I'm not sure if you saw, but the minimum international shipping tax is 42$. I'm not sure if it makes any difference for you :p. The express one is 52 or so.

Hmmz? Does that mean an extra 42$? Or is it included in the total price? (Total price being 199$ + 44$ methinks)

Well the buy-it-now price is 199$. The international shipping is 42 (and a few cents, you can see the price on the page :p). So the total price would be 199+42.

Oh, good, you had me scared for a moment there. I had that counted in the price :p

EDIT: It's official - I'm getting a Zune HD. It'll probably be a week or two before I get it, but when I do, I'll tell you guys about it!

Have fun with it, when it comes :p.

Oh, and don't be too impatient about it, sometimes shipping gets delayed and it also depends on the custom of your country, sometimes they delay the transport as well.

When I bought items from America they came in 2-3 weeks.

Yeah, I know. Mostly they get to Denmark in like 1 - 2 weeks, I ordered some items from America a couple times :p

Ubuntu Mobile Edition would beat all, if it was still in development (Note: NOT the netbook remix).

once you add multi-tasking and folders to an OS, then it becomes the best! No, it should have that in the first place

It's already the best, Apple are just making it better. There are a lot more than just two new features with OS 4 (over a hundred I think).
(Yes, I know some people don't like it, but overall, the iPhone OS is the best mobile OS)

Apple doesn't implement features poorly, they wait until it can be implemented perfectly. Such as Apple's multi-tasking having very little negative effect on battery life or performance, if at all.

Guys, you're getting off-topic. Vestras already got the Zune HD, so what's the point in this discussion? If you want a debate over which OS and which manufacturer is better, move it to the Debates forum.

Not so much of a discussion (so far), but a great idea nonetheless!

I have the old Zune

and it is so far the best portable mp3 player i've had, it locates the album art better than itunes it synchs wireless, play the radio, and share my music!

as an mp3 player it is superior, as a portable media device with internet, i'm not sure.

If they actually sell the Zune HD here I'd probably get it.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
