The Microsoft Zune HD that I ordered from Amazon just arrived and it’s pretty cool so far. This is probably the very first one to arrive here in the Philippines. Check out some unboxing photos after the jump.
I got the black 16GB model which is priced at $219.99 at Amazon (that’s about Php10,500 at 48:1 exchange rate). I also paid under Php900 for the shipping from my USMailBox address in the US to the Philippines. That’s a total of under Php11,400 (similar to the price of an iPod Touch 8GB).
Full review to follow.
Note: If you’re looking into getting some affordable shipping (with a US postal address) to the Philippines, I use MyUSMailBox. Email them at [email protected] and mention YugaTech to get a 3-month free trial (that’s Php600/month waived membership fee). This is what I used for ordering the Zune HD.
Hi Yuga, this is a very helpful post. Just have a question. do you know anystore here in the Phil that sells casings for the ZuneHD?
…also, to anyone who already have their ZuneHD, any found defects or bugs? :D
@mickey, so far from my usage, I haven’t encountered any critical bugs at all. They already released v.4.3 that adds support for the upcoming 3d games..and more.
So far so good I have not encountered any problems with my ZuneHD.
guys, for those na may kakilala sa US at magpapabili, nagmura na ang Zune HD 16gb sa Amazon.com!!! it’s now $197.99 na lang!!! (That’s a $21 price cut!!!) unfortunately for me nakapagpabili nako before bumaba ang presyo!!! sayang talaga! almost P1k din sana yun! hahaha. pero anyway, can’t wait for my ZuneHD to arrive!!! weee!

hi guys, i just emailed MyUSMailbox to try their 3-month free trial… then, i’m off to buy my Zune HD… ask ko lang pano ang payment pag online purchase? wala kc ako credit card… thanks.
It does not have the same price like ipod nano 8gb. Ipod nano 8gb is only Php 8,790.
anyone tried timing the battery time when playing videos and music (and apps)? just want to know because i tried mine for playing videos and it only lasted around 4.5 hours (but it says 8.5). haay. haven’t tried timing it yet in playing music but for apps, it really ate a lot of power!
@luis – yes ipod nano is cheaper but it’s not touch screen, only 8gb and has small screen for watching videos. though the fm is a great thing. hehehe.
The new Zune HD wireless media player takes you closer and connects you to a whole new world of entertainment.
