Zune Canadian Release Date Officially Confirmed: June 13, 2008

Any Canadian Zune fans out there? I've just received the press release confirming the Zune release in Canada. Starting today, the Zune software can be downloaded at www.Zune.ca. For the Zune players themselves, we will have to wait until June 13, 2008 to have a chance to buy the first Zunes to be sold outside the US.

Here are the models and prices confirmed for Canada:

• Zune 80GB: SRP $249.99 CDN (available in black or red)
• Zune 8GB: SRP $189.99 CDN (available in black, red or pink)
• Zune 4GB: SRP $139.99 CDN (available in black, red or pink)

A few things are new for Canada and still not available in the US. First, www.zunenews.ca is a place where publishers can submit their Zune related news. You can also visit www.comingzune.ca to check the ComingZune party schedule for dates, talent line-up, pics, and exclusive tracks from the parties.

The Zune Online Community, aka Zune Social, is also available and Canada and is open for registration now. The Zune marketplace won't be available for now.
