Microsoft kunne i går fortælle, at deres musik- og filmservice, Zune, nu for alvor vil forsøge at indtage Europa. Der er tale om en abonnementordning, som giver Xbox 360-ejerne adgang til både musik og film. Det er dog desværre (endnu en gang) noget som de danske forbrugere ikke får glæde af. Zune vil blive lanceret i en lang række europæiske lande, men Danmark er endnu en gang udenfor det gode selskab. Vi har inkluderet et uddrag af gårsdagens pressemeddelelse, hvoraf du kan se præcis hvilke europæiske lande som glæde af de nye tilbud.

REDMOND, Wash. — Sep. 20, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the further international expansion of Zune, its digital entertainment service. This fall, Zune will expand its music and video footprint and bring the free Zune software, Zune Marketplace online store, Zune Pass music subscription service and enhanced features on Zune.net to new markets, providing a comprehensive entertainment experience on Windows-based PCs, on the go with Windows Phone 7 and in your living room through Xbox LIVE.

Zune Marketplace will extend services to several markets in Europe and beyond.

  • Zune Pass (U.K., France, Italy and Spain). The monthly music subscription service will be available for 9.99 euros /8.99 pounds per month for unlimited download and streaming access to the Zune music catalog and will be accessible on Windows-based PCs, Windows Phone 7 and Xbox LIVE. The offer in the U.S. will remain at $14.99 per month for unlimited downloads and streaming access, with the ability to keep 10 MP3s per month.8
  • Music purchase (U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Germany).

  • Video purchase (U.K., France, Germany, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). Consumers will now be able to purchase movies to download and watch anywhere — on the big screen in the living room with Xbox LIVE or their Windows-based PC as well as sync it to their Windows Phone 7 to enjoy on the go.9
  • Movie rental (U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, Canada, Australia and New Zealand).

  3. Jeg lejede sq gerne film i Zune (den nuværende udgave), hvis der var undertekster på… Men det er der skutte ikke…

    Men i forvejen en udmærket service, som den er. Ved ikke om jeg ville bringe boxen som musikafspiller, til det har jeg itunes på min blærbare…
