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.

    And you weren't one. A "grammer Nazi". You were being a spelling Nazi. Too bad you misspelled grammar.
