I know NBC paid a lot to get the rights, but I really wish these videos were provided free, even if ad-supported.

Ya know... it's lame we have to pay for it... especially when it's offered on Vista Media Center for free with GREAT TVTonic interface that allows you to watch what sport events you want to watch - a perfect idea for the Olympics.  You should just make that sync with your Zune Library!

Daniel - check the media alert, you can see free videos on MSN with ad-supported content

This is fantastic. Combining the 2 things I love the most: the Olympics and Zune!

Awesome! I love the Olympics! For real. Even though I don't really plan on 'purchasing' the videos, when I can already view them on TV and on NBCOlympics.com, it's nice to have options.

Is Xbox Live Marketplace getting the same video content? Because I'm rather confused about that.

If I have to pay with Points instead of Dollars, then I can't get interested.

Cesar - Sweet!  Thanks!

I would pay more to get the entire Opening Ceremonies (especially without the commercial breaks).  Too bad we couldn't edit out Matt Lauer.

EXTREMELY disappointed in the opening ceremonies available on the ZM.  When my DVR accidentally erased them due to heavy olympic recording, I thought I could simply turn to Zune for the answer.  What NBC had already edited down to 4 hours now was less than one hour on the ZM.  The gravity of the entire spectacle had been lost with its choppy and more-often-than-not premature ends to clips.  I blew my money on something I trusted Zune on and it failed me miserably.  My friends who had missed the ceremonies still did not fully experience them.  Is there any way I can get a refund?  Extremely disapointing Cesar...Zune let me down (again)....
