Zune — $249.99 On Nov. 14

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-price-war-on-songs dept.

Cubricon writes, "As expected, Microsoft has dropped their price on the Zune in response to Apple's recent iPod updates. Ars Technica has an article that discusses the Zune's use of Microsoft's prepaid 'points' system for songs. Will the masses notice the difference between an iPod and a Zune? Will they want the FM and wireless capabilities?" The Zune lists for $0.99 more than the comparable iPod and songs from the Zune Marketplace will cost just under $0.99.

    He was right. Then Apple made iPods with USB. Then Apple made iTunes for windows. Then Apple made them cheaper...and cheaper...and cheaper. Then Apple managed a few to get a few trend whores, and as they say: The rest is history.
