For some weird reason when i "buy" one of those episodes it all goes perfectly, but for some reason it won't download... Music does work...

Sweet!! thanks to the zune team!

There is a free episode of Life as well.

Well this just gets better and better doesn't it!?

Any idea when Canadians will be having access to the marketplace?  I have just purchased a new zune 120 hoping that it would be rolled out with this fall update.  I'm trying to decide if I should return it or not.

Troyleb im in the same boat all though ive had my 80 for quite some time now. I just find it crazy that they leave EVERYONE in the dark, not just canadians, but other countries, havnt heard a thing abou tthe zune launching in different markets. I love my zune, but with a the zune at least in the US and CaNADA ud think we'd hear SOMETHING abou the marketplace, who knows if it will ever come up here, its never been mention.

First SNL won't download, now these won't either ... way to go offering free episodes but not letting people download them.

Hey Phil, the original press release from Microsoft on January 6/2008 prior to the zune release in Canada states Zune marketplace and Zunepass to be launched later in 2008.  I'm sure I had seen elswhere that it was expectd this fall and is why I was hoping it would launch with this fall update.

"For some weird reason when i "buy" one of those episodes it all goes perfectly, but for some reason it won't download... Music does work..." Same thing here

Awesome!

Thanks Zune team!

I also one a Zune since many monts, I'm in CANADA.  I buy the first one " 30G black" from internet and I juste buy a new "Black 8G0 " directly from canadian store.   I realy want Zunepass.   Can someone tell us when we will finaly get " Zune market place Canada! please

Can't download any of these. Had trouble months ago with free music, but that suddenly seems to be working. Videos, though, are no go.

That's weird, they all have downloaded fine for me. I just updated my software yesterday and I have an original 30 gig Zune.

Thank you Zune team!  

I'm not sure I understand. Is this just one episode for each show? And we don't get to pick which episode?

'The Office' episode does not download past 0%

@Tim yes, yes. Microsoft and zune are still capitalists. They want you to have the pilot episode for free so you can be hooked and pay for the rest.

Neither 30 Rock season lists a free episode.  I assumed this was supposed to be the season two premiere, SeinfeldVision, but it keeps wanting me to pay for it.

It's been 3 days and I still can't download any one of those videos.  I can buy them but they just won't download.  

Awesome stuff.  Got all of 'em, no problem.  Loved the content. Keep it coming ZUNE!

Is ther any rhyme or reason to when on the start day these are prices to be free and when on the end day they are put back to the normal price? I checked on this on the 22nd at 11:30pm eastern, and they were already (except for Lipstick Jungle) back to non-free status.

Got all of these to download no porblem ... keep them coming!

I like Supernatural show. I am sure there are others. Why not CW is not added into the marketplace. I noticed there are quite a few networks from regular tv not added for download. Please add more shows. Supernatural is my favorite. I have used itunes and that was months ago and they got Supernatural on there.
