I’ve refrained from writing during the launch of Zune as I work with the team, but it’s clear folks are getting the word – Just like Windows 7, Zune makes people “more happy“. Engadget is now reporting, “If various stores on the internet are to be believed, the Zune HD is selling out in a pretty big way.” This is all good news for the fledgling device, but what I’m really excited about is Zune Video Marketplace on Xbox 360. The below video gives you a good overview of the features including the ability to buy or rent a video on one screen and play on all three – the TV, PC, or Zune HD. On the Xbox, you’ll get 1080p streaming over your broadband connection. I can confirm it really works as-advertised. As for when, I can only say it’s, “Coming soon” 😉
Let us know if you’re hearing about local sellouts as well. I know the Zune team is working hard to respond to demand.
