Zune outselling iPod this Christmas?

Brown Zune

Yes, it is possible! For the holiday season the Zune has been heavily discounted. Right now, it’s Amazon’s top selling music device. How is this possible? As I’ve just stated, price.

  • 4 Gig iPod Nano: $135
  • 30 Gig Brown Zune: $134 (!!!)
  • 30 Gig Black Zune: $140 (!!!)
  • 30 Gig Pink & Red Zune: $150

What’s more, the new Zune 80’s are marked at 17th place at Amazon and are sold out everywhere. Finally some real competition for Apple, huh?

The Zune 30 was the first music player Microsoft came out with and has been recently upgraded with the new firmware, which originates from the new generation of Zunes.

(Yes! It now supports podcasts!)

Goofy Zune Ad

A lot has been happening around the Zune lately, be it good or bad, but this really rocks the boat!
I don’t know who released this video, but it’s definitely weird and kind of icky too…

I recently posted it to YouTube, so take a look, here.
