Despite the fact that the Zune hasn’t even been released yet, it appears that Microsoft has already slashed the price.
According to Gizmodo, Microsoft intends to drop the price to $229 in response to Apple’s move to lower the 30GB iPod price to $250. This comes only a day after Wal-Mart leaked a $284 Zune pricepoint.
Furthermore, David Caulton, a contributor to the Zune project noted in his blog that “Zune won’t be undercut on price by iPod.”
I have to admit, a 30GB Zune with built in FM and 3-inch QVGA LCD video screen for $229 has me willing to re-consider my loyaly to the iPod. I suppose we will have to wait until it’s released to know if this deal is as good as it seems.
