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?"

    Wouldn't it be funny if they advertised it that way? In small print, anyway!

    I don't know about you guys, but I'll be getting a crappy color Zune for sure! I think the money is in my back pocket somewhere...
