P-Oed about ZUNE

So I have been seeing these nifty commercials and print ads advertising what promises to be my solution to my music needs. Zune states that I can have an instant music collection that will give me access to millions of songs for just $14.99 a month.

Am I interested in this? HELLS YES! Am I so ready to leave behind the restrictions and costliness of iTunes and find myself a better way to get all the music I crave.

Now the problem is, they use all these advertisements to bring people to their website, and then they drop the bomb: what they have declined to state in any commercial or ad is that you must first buy one of their mp3 devices in order to sign up to download music. They want me to throw my $300 iPod out the window of my moving car, go to the store and get their device and call it a day. They've got to be kidding! So now you know why I am pissed right now.
