Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price

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?"

    How the hell did this get modded 'redundant'?

    Anyway, go here.

    Because the criticism occurs in the comments of every slashdot story.

    And because clearly this is not the type of news that matters if it is a few days old?

    So, the next time there is a BSOD criticsm of Microsoft, or a 'Diebold needs to be open source', or 'Bush is a moron', it will get modded redundant?

    I was just listing that as an unpopular viewpoint, not claiming that it actually occurs :) But he occasionally says some things that make sense. He's not as fucked up as most politicians on immigration, for instance.
