More details about the Zune trade-in program

I remember a while back when the discussion of a Zune trade-in program came up, but unfortunately nothing ever really seemed to be made public about what users could expect in terms of actually being able to take advantage of something like that. Given that, I started doing some research and came across a recent post over at Inside the Circle were it was noted that;

"Yesterday, after calling in to assess all options available to repair my brother's Zune, it appears the program exists. I call it a Zune Allowance Rebate System (Zunes for Zuners maybe?), they called it a trade-in option. Offered through Zune Phone Support (1-877-438-9863) the program allows you to trade-in your current Zune for a different capacity Zune device, at a discounted price."

Sounds good, at least the program seems to be official. In terms of what you are saving, based on a chart from from the same blog it looks like you could save in the ball park of between $30 and $50 depending on the model that you trade-in.

Hmmm. Interesting. But..
1. Could I get more for my old Zune on Craigslist?
2. Would I rather spend $50 more and have 2 Zunes instead of one?

This is probably why it's mostly talked about in the repair channel where these other two options aren't as attractive.
