Get a Zune 80 for $229 and get a free 2 month Zune Pass

Microsoft is currently running a nice special on the Zune 80. The offer is simple, if you purchase a black Zune 80 for the regular price ($229) you will be given a free two month Zune Pass. Which should be more than enough time to convince most people just how nice the Zune Pass really is. Of course, there are some catches, this offer is available through December 31, 2008 and limited to the US.

Zune Originals adds new artwork, online exclusive colors

In addition to the new software and free Wi-Fi, Zune Originals has also received an little refresh with the introduction of the new Zune hardware. We have already seen the new Zune 120 and Zune 16 hit the retail stores in black, and now Zune Originals has also announced that the Zune 16 will be available in blue, red, pink and green as an online exclusive. Finally, customers will also have the option of choosing some new artwork as Zune Originals has added 14 new designs to give your Zune a little more of a personal feel.

Wal-Mart offering the new Zune 120, lower priced Zune 80 a little early

The official release date was supposed to be the 16th, but it seems that at least one Wal-Mart in Harborcreek, PA has decided to add them to their show floor cabinets for everyone to see. Of course seeming how everything else detail wise managed to leak out a little early with the Zune lately, I suppose we should not see this as any real surprise.

While the pricing had already been confirmed by Microsoft, we can see from the image that Wal-Mart will sell off their remaining inventory of Zune 80's for a nice $198, which sounds like a good time for anyone looking to make a purchase. Of course if you wanted the biggest storage option to date, you would have to shell out the $50 extra for the Zune 120.

Personally I have a Zune 80 that is in excellent condition so its kind of a mute point for me, but I am a sucker for a bargain and had I been looking I think I would be more than tempted to go for the Zune 80 and save a few bucks, after all, all models of the Zune will be able to get the new firmware for free anyway and aside from storage that is where most of the cool features are anyway.

Has anyone else able to find one of the new, or discounted old Zunes in a local store yet? If not don't worry much as they should be everywhere tomorrow.

Microsoft officially lets the new Zune details out

I suppose this post comes as a little bit of bittersweet news considering we have already seen the details, but that said, Microsoft has chosen to officially unveil the details for the new Zune hardware and software.

So just for a quick recap, the new model of the Zune will be the black 120GB hard drive based model which will retail for $249 along with a 16GB flash based model which will retail for $199. Additionally the Zune 16 will also be available in blue. The Zune 8 will be priced at $149, and Microsoft also plans to lower the prices on some of the older models.

As for the software side, it looks like software version 3 will be available with those features that we mentioned earlier, which include Buy from FM, Device to Cloud, Channels and Games. Currently nothing was mentioned about when the new software will be made available for current Zune owners. Personally although I like the blue Zune 16 and the black backing on the Zune 120 I am more excited by the new software features and hope that will be ready soon.

If nothing else, I guess Amazon can go ahead and add that Zune 120 listing back to their website now.

Zune 120: The unofficial roll-out continues...or does it?

In addition to the listings over on Frys, another online retailer (Amazon) had ever so briefly list the Zune 120 for sale. Currently I have not seen any confirmed purchases through the Amazon store listing, but they have since removed it from the store, with the URL now going to a big'ol 404.

With just one day before Microsoft is expected to officially make the announcements, it seems Amazon has had a change of heart, one can only wonder whether Frys will do the same. Of course it seems that Frys is already in a little deeper with between their multiple leaks and at least one confirmed sale.

Funny thing is that when this listing was available on Amazon, there were eight vendors listed, of which seven was showing the Zune 120 as in-stock and even had expedited shipping available, and strangely the only one of the eight that was showing a "temporarily out of stock" notice was Amazon themselves.

At this point we can only hope the announcements come tomorrow, and put an end to this mess. Anyone interested in the larger capacity Zune, or what about the blue Zune 8, its pretty sharp looking.

Joy Division limited edition Zune unboxings

Well, given the fact I love Joy Division, I would love to get my hands on one of these, especially after seeing the pictures. I however cannot justify the extra cost, mostly because I recently upgraded to a red Zune 80 and truly have no need for another 80GB Zune, even if it does look really cool.

I am not sure if this comes as any measure of success, but I have been keeping an eye out for unboxings and images and so far have seen very few. In fact I have come across just two, one of which comes from a zunerama forum member who managed to get number 39 out of 500 and the other from Peter Rojas of Engadget/RCRDLBL fame who happens to be even luckier and scored himself a protoype. The player is also (as of this posting) still available for purchase.

From the description that was given by the zunerama forum member "RL" it sounds like a very nice looking device and a worthy unboxing experience.

"I got the box this afternoon from Fed-Ex.   Solid Black.  Opened it up.  Solid black.  Unwrapped the black paper from the interior box.  Solid Black with the Unknown Pleasures Graphics engraved into the cardboard.  Opened what appeared to be a 2 inch thick, LP Sized box and found another padding area with the same design engraved into the polyfoam.  Lifted it up and there it was.  A leather case with the same engravings.  A black 80gb Zune.  It was solid black, almost reminicent of the 30gb, lighter with a sticker on the glass warning of unsuitable content for minors.  To the side were the obligatory usb cable and premium headphones.  Etched into it's polyfoam cradle was a single signature, Peter Saville.  I hesitantly warmed it up.  The Zune start screen began, and then the background, the background that was etched into every single part of the package.  I am charging it now as we speak."

Here are a few images of the limited edition Zune, and the links below will also take you to both unboxings to check out the rest of the images. If anyone comes across any more feel free to leave a comment below.

Joy Division limited edition Zune still available

While the latest limited edition Zune to become available officially went on sale a few days back on June 17, it seems there are still some available. As we previously mentioned the edition will be limited to a run of 500, each being individually numbered and also coming pre-loaded with the Joy Division Documentary movie.

I honestly did not think it would take all that long to sell out, and am a little surprised to see it still available today. However after some though my concern is that depending on when you began listening to music, and for those who are younger, you may not be all that familiar with just who the Joy Division is.

However, with that said, even as a Joy Division fan, I still find the $399 price tag a little high for my taste, but that black back sure does look sweet with the JD graphic included. While they seem to be going slow, they are only available until they sell 500, so if you are interested you may not want to wait much longer, as far as we know they could already be up to number 499.

Also, in an effort (I would imagine) to cut down on people from buying multiple units to create a demand and then resell them "you are only allowed 1 Joy Division Zune per order"

Joy Division themed Limited Edition Zune unveiled

The Joy Division themed Zune has officially made its appearance. The limited edition Zune is being released to mark the DVD release of a documentary about the life of Joy Division, the limited edition model will come in the form of a black Zune 80. Feature-wise it will be your standard 80GB Zune, however it will have the Joy Division movie pre-loaded along with the artwork from the Unknown Pleasures album featured on the back.

The Joy Division themed Zune will be available only through Zune Originals and sell for $399 beginning on June 17. It will also be limited to just 500 units, so if you are into Joy Division, then you may want to grab one on the day of release.

Zune 8GB Price Drop official?? $180??

It would make sense for Microsoft to do such a thing, and it seems like they may have already done so. The Zune 8GB is now at $179.99 at most online retailers, such as Amazon, Circuit City, Best Buy and Buy.com (which only has the black model for the new price). It's not official yet, but maybe there will soon be an announcement. Hopefully this will allow them to lower the price of the 4GB model also, driving the sales of the Zune to even higher levels.

It would only make sense, and it would help with the competition of the other PMP manufacturers. So go save some money on that flash Zune you may have been looking for, and enjoy some media!

Canada Selling Refurbished Zunes On Boxing Day

First off, I'd like to wish everyone of our readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and in hope that the Zune news will continue to flow and that you all will continue to use Cliczune as your go-to site. Now onto the days happenings....

While looking through plenty of Boxing-Day flyers (For those who are not aware, Boxing Day is Canada's shopping day after Christmas, kinda like U.S. Black Friday after Thanksgiving) and getting ready to spend, spend, and well, spend money on Wednesday, I saw something that really blew my mind and cught my attention so much, that I just had to post it. One of Canada's leading bargain/refurbished stores from coast-to-coast, XS Cargo, is apparently getting ready to sell many refurbished 30GB Zunes on Boxing Day. I first noticed it when I seen it in their Boxing Week flyer, on Christmas Eve morning, and then later on in the day, noticed it on their website available in White(In-Store only) and in Black colors. They come complete with everything found in the original Zune 30 box, with everything brand new and the Zune refurbished. XS Cargo are retailing the Zunes for $129.99CDN, which is a tad high priced comparing to some American stores, but it still works. So is this just a typo, or miss-hap, like the TigerDirect incident? Or did XS Cargo really buy some stocks of refurbished Zunes for Boxing Day, and is this another sign Zune is making its slow and steady debut in Canada?

Take a look at the site HERE to read more on these Zunes, or if your in Canada, grab your local newspaper and get the XS Cargo flyer and see it in there.

Merry Christmas to All

Sincerely,

Cliczune Staff

Microsoft Releasing Limited Edition Zune 2 in Gold

The folks over at Gizmodo have reported that Microsoft has teamed up with the company Goods to sell 10, each in 80GB and 8GB(20 in total), of the gold colored Zunes. This was in part due to a big hip-hop Launch Party that Microsoft and Zune sponsored for the "Goods" brand. They will be available next Saturday, but here's the kicker, only in Seattle. So if your that desperate to get a gold Zune, then nows the time to pack up your clothes, get on a plane and go wait in the line for that gold zune(Only if your that desperate though). So far, there has been no announced priced of these particular Zunes, or if there are any other added features, most likely not. If you want to see more pics of the Zunes, Click Here.

Want a Zune 80 for Christmas? Act Now!

The biggest issue with the Zune 80 since it was released two weeks ago is certainly its non-availability. But it looks like that the Zuneinsider was right and the Zune 80 will soon be available to all you, Zune fanboys. The question now is: Are you going to get it before Christmas?

If the answer is yes, you should act fast on this one…Amazon [affiliate] says the Zune will be available on December 16^th. If I can still count correctly, this is about 8 days before Christmas, and I don’t even add the shipping delays that can add a few days to a week depending on your location.

By the way, if you buy it now, Amazon adds a terrific discount on the Zune 80. Instead of the $249.00 price tag, you'll pay only $248.99. Isn't it wonderful?

Don’t snooze on this one. Act now and get a Zune 80 under the tree for you, or for a loved one.

Thanks StylesClash450...

Zunes On Black Friday

We've been discussing the lack of Zune 80's in stores on this critical shopping day after Thanksgiving, popularly known as Black Friday.  You know, this may actually work in favor for Microsoft.  Recall the theory that people want what they can't have?  Well, the more they can't get it, the more they want it.  Check out these stories floating around the web today to get an idea how the Zune sales are proceeding on the busiest retail day of the year.

Start off with MacWorld (Brace yourselves for a Mac website reporting on the Zune; what a difference a year makes!); they're discussing that there's a big shortage of the Zune 80's, and that the Zune 30 is topping the Amazon list for the last few days.  They do go on to point out that the iPods are still plentiful on the Amazon list, but you had to expect them to give it an Apple spin, right?  Well, that's online, but what's going on B&M?

Then we head on over to news about Toy's 'R Us who apparently had a morning doorbuster of a Zune 30 for $70 (which is a really good deal, and the cheapest I've ever seen one for).  If you were in bed this morn' digesting turkey and stuffing, fret not.  At two corners of the country at least, there wasn't a Zune 30 to be had at that dirt cheap price.  That's right, at both the Toy 'R Us in New York, and the one in Florida, there were apparently a bunch of unhappy shoppers in line as the Zunes sold out at the store, and were forced to leave Zuneless, and look elsewhere.

Buy a Zune 8 for $179.99

I was reading this post from Zunethoughts about how you can import a Zune to Canada by ecost, and noticed that the Zune 8 is already discounted on the online store. That's right, you can buy a Zune 8 for $179.99 and a Zune 4 for $139.99.

Have you spotted other good deals for the Zune 4 and 8?

Ok, I know, you won't get the fun of shopping for real in a crowded Black Friday, but you'll at least save $20!

Zune 80 Available at Walmart.com

Still looking for a Zune 80? Can’t resign and buy a Zune 8. Well, check on Walmart.com right away. The online store says they have it in stock.

You can also monitor nowinstock to see if the so desired and newly released MP3 player would not be available from your favorite online store. Otherwise, wait for a week or two and it’s going to be available everywhere…

Good luck and thanks to our tipster.

Availability of the Zune 80- How it's going to improve, and what to do for now

oday I have heard some great news for people that are still waiting for their 80 GB Zune's. We all know about the shortage, and their have been many rumors about it. "They're out of stock because of high demand," or "Microsoft has a manufacturing problem, resulting in the shortage". Well, this post from Cesar Menendez gives us the answer:

"You may have seen some buzz in the news and online over the last few days about the availability of Zune 80 - so I talked to the product management and retail teams to get the story. Here’s what I found out: Based on our own forecasts as well as early retail orders, we chose to prioritize production of the Zune 4 and Zune 8.  Zune 80 was at retail on launch day albeit in lower numbers.  That combined with the posotive press cycle and higher-than-expected demand has led to the current situation - but here’s the good news – we’ve stepped up production and significant inventory will begin hitting stores within the next 7-10 days. Right now, the stores which currently have availability: Circuit City, Target, and Walmart, and online, check out Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal Mart, GameStop, Amazon, and Dell."

Buy a Refurbished Zune for $79.99!

That's right folks, $79.99! At that price, you can still resell you Zune if don't like it and you will still probably making money with it.

These refurbished Zunes come with a full one year Microsoft warranty and the original packaging. Plus, you will get the Zune 2 new firmware in November, including the wireless sync!

On the bad side, you have to buy a brown Zune and everyone knows that green is the new brown. But hey, at $79.99, do you really expect to choose the color?

[Thanks Paul]

Buy a Refurbished Zune for $99 at Woot

Do you want a Zune 30? NO? What if it cost you only $99$ That's right, Woot is selling refurbished Zune for $99. They're available in the three primary Zune colors. White, brown and black.

The nice thing with the Zune 30 is that you will get the new Zune firmware next monthly with the release of Zune 80, 4 and 8.

Act fast though,Woot is selling one product a day until and we never know how many they have.

New Zune Players Release Date: November 13th, 2007!

Zuners, mark your calendars! Amazon takes pre-orders for the Zune 80GB, Zune 8GB and Zune 4Gb now and confirms that the release date for the Zune 2 is November 13^th, 2007. UPDATE: You heard it here first, but Microsoft confirmed the information to Gizmodo. Guys, you're getting a brand new Zune on November 13th!

Flash Zune and 80Gb Zune Available Next November!

Journalists were invited to a press event today at the Zune Team campus in Redmond. The new Zune players we’re revealed to the attendees, but an embargo stops them from publishing the information until midnight, tonight. Nevertheless, King 5 station in Seattle leaked some (unconfirmed) precious information ahead of time. According to the station, Microsoft will release a new Flash based Zune player (4Gb and 8GB) available in black, pink, green and red. A new black 80GB Zune player (hard disc based), thinner than the 30GB Zune player and equipped with a 3.2 LCD screen, will also be released by the same token. All models will carry an FM radio tuner.

And guys, we’ve been expecting new Wi-Fi scenarios and they're on their way! The new Zune 2 firmware will sync music, videos and photos wirelessly from with your computer! Pretty cool! Isn’t it?

Prices? These are easy to guess as they match iPod prices… Flash Zune models will be priced at $149 and $199 for the 4GB and 8Gb respectively. The new 80GB Zune player will carry a retail price of $249. The new devices will be available mid-November. We still don’t know if the 30GB Zune player will be retired or if it will still be available and compatible with the Zune 2 firmware.

The Zune firmware has been redesigned from scratch, and that’s why no substantial Zune Firmware update has been released since the first generation Zune was released last year. Life is sweet, isn't it?

Silicon Alley Insider says that the Zune marketplace will have DRM free music. The Zune to Zune sharing would be totally or partially released from its DRM prison (still to be confirmed though).

We should also expect videos and podcasts from the Zune marketplace.

The Zune Squircle is apparently called the Zune pad...

Have your ordered a Zune from Dell for $109? Forget About it, Dell Canceled Your Order

Have you recently bought a Zune for $109 (or even less) from Dell and you haven’t received it yet?  Well, you should forget about it right now. Dell won’t send you the Zune because this is considered an “internal error” and they say they can cancel an order when such a situation arises.

What was suppose to be the sweetest deal of the year is now history folks. To bad though, a $100 Zune would have been a real iPod killer.

Here’s the email sent by Dell to a customer:

Buy a Zune from Dell for $109!

This offer will probably be gone by the time you read this. But as I write it, you can buy a Zune for $109 from Dell. Use this link and select the pink Zune in the list. Once the pink Zune has been added to your cart, Dell will show you a list of related products. Select the black Zune in that list and here you go! A black Zune for $109. Courtesy of Dell. Remove the pink Zune from your cart and you’re ready to go.

It looks like a $70 rebate for Zune players is applied twice on the black Zune! Enjoy this if you can! At that price, the Zune really becomes an iPod killer!

Update: Sorry guys! The deal is gone. Clearly, you had to act fast on this one. I wonder how much a mistake like this one could cost to Dell? Thanks John.

[Thanks Brad]

 

Buy the Red Zune Available on June 10th

The Zuneinsider spilled the beans about the Red Zune: The new color will be available exclusively at www.target.com and www.Amazon.com on June 10th. The red Zune is still not in the product list of the stores.

The pictures above are the official red Zune pictures published earlier today. We also have unofficial pictures of the red Zune from flickr and ebay.

We still have no information about the number of red Zunes that will be available. But like the pink Zune, the new color will probably be limited to 100 000 units or less. At this point, any model available on the market is probably a limited edition Zune with the strong rumors of a second generation Zune that could be just around the corner.

Do you like the new color?

Buy Zune for $170 from Wal-Mart

If you want to buy a Zune and you are looking for a good offer, Wal-Mart has an interesting one for the brown Zune. They are currently selling the player for $199.54, bundled with a Microsoft AC power charger. That is a $30 value. Amazon has the same bundle for

Buying a Zune for less than $200 is already a good deal. If you get a first party AC power charger with it, I would say this becomes an awesome deal. Any buyer for the brown Zune?

Zune Bundle From Amazon

This bundle is available on Amazon for $310. Is it worth the price? Not sure but you get an extended 3-year warranty, a pack of LCD Screen Protectors, a silicon case with an hand strap and also a set of portable speakers. The bundle is announced as a Zune-Microsoft product but only the Zune and the extended warranty are real Microsoft products. The case looks a lot like the Boxwave silicon case.

I would say this is a nice starting package. The only missing accessory is a pair of premium headphones.

You can buy the Zune bundle through this affiliate link.

Buy a Zune at $168

The guys from Crunchgear stopped to their discount store in Seattle over the weekend and found brand-new, unopened Zunes at a very good price. The player was on sale for $168! That’s about 25% off the going rate of $229 we’ve been seeing around the Web, making it a good deal for someone looking for a Zune.

But that kind of discount does not come from Microsoft at all. It's just a store dumping some inventory for an unknown reason... Don't expect to see the Zune at this price on a regular basis on the web. At least until the Zune 2.0 or the 80Gb Zune comes out!

How much have you paid for your Zune?
