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?"

    Maybe emploees of walmart just want to get cheaper iPods/Zunes for themselves and did that on purpose? :-D

    Microsoft have no concept of competative pricing. Their only pricing policy is to milk the market for all it's worth.
