I have an 80 gig Zune. It was only $250, much cheaper than an ipod.
Zunes aren't too strong in the game department, and they don't have an official way to put more games
onto your Zune, but you can make and put games onto your Zune using XNA Game Studios and Microsoft Visual C#.
You need to download a program onto your computer to put media onto a Zune, put it is helpful for organizing your media. The program can also edit the media information
The Zunes are also pretty strong. I've dropped mine a lot and it still works fine.
