Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-microsoft-scramble dept.

nieske writes, "Engadget reports that Wal-Mart accidentally published online the intended price of the Microsoft Zune; the iPod rival would apparently retail for $284. The price was quickly pulled from the Wal-Mart site. Reports say that Microsoft was flustered when Apple dropped the price for the iPod 30 GB, previously $299, to $249. BetaNews states that 'undercutting the iPod is a major goal of Microsoft's upcoming effort.' Will Microsoft respond to Apple with another price drop?"

  1. A good use for the Zune by Secrity · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It seems that the Zune has a use after all, as a method to get Apple to reduce it's prices on the iPod.

  2. Re:Will MS respond? Yes. by neoform · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So, the question is, will MS do with zune as they did with the xbox and sell it at a loss just so they can overtake apple.. ?

    also, why is a zune price leak in the apple section?
