Microsoft cuts price of flash-based Zune’s
PR News: — ... The new pricing range for the Zune’s is $129 to $99 (4GB) $149 to $139 (8GB) and $199 to $179 (16GB). All of the prices are now down by $20, so now the US Zune’s are more in line with what the Canadian’s are paying. The Car Pack with included dock is also down by $10, with the Home AV Pack down by $20. It looks as if Microsoft has decided to give a little back in the run up to Christmas. I bet those who purchased a Zune a few days ago will be a little mad now. Source
