Future Shop drops price on Zune

Future Shop drops price on Zune The popular Canadian retailer Future Shop has announced they have dropped the price of the Zune 8GB to $100 CAD, down from $150.
The deal will last for the next week on all colors and will prove to be a large undercut on American retailers and other Canadian retailers' current prices. As of September, Microsoft's official MSRP for the product is $150 CAD.

It is unclear whether Microsoft or Future Shop prompted the deal but it is odd to see a product at such a high discount while it is still relatively new and not a clearance item.

Future Shop is also selling the 120GB model Zune for $234 CAD, $16 CAD lower than the MSRP.

I want one, but my first Gen Zune is still good. Maybe I'll still get it.

These guys don't ship to US???
So, what's the point? A handful of Canuk's get Zune's for $81 bucks? Big deal.

And Oh, by the way... They're out of stock.

Hold on to your britches!

This is only the beginning of the price wars. Apple has slashed their prices in the last few months by 30-40% and over 60% for the year. Sansa is comming on line with cheap and good mp3 players. This was before no one was buying much.

I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers, my point was that while an $81 dollar price is good, it's hardly an indicator of the future. The deal is limited to Canada only (hardly an international marketplace) and there are none in stock.
I was wondering why it was newsworthy...
And a bit peeved that I couldn't get one... <grin>

I have seen them for 89USD and the 30G for 100USD. I think the prices will continue to slide. There is way too much competition and the echonomy is at a 50 year low.
