The Zune Gets a New Price Tag

Looks like Microsoft is getting the price slashing bug as well. The Zune, Microsoft’s MP3 player that is a competitor to the iPod, was cut by $50 last Wednesday bringing it to $199. Seems like it didn’t get as much press as the iPhone price cut, but then again it didn’t quite tick as many people off either. I’d actually probably consider a Zune for my next MP3 player. Not that I don’t like my iPod, but if I had to buy another one I’d have a hard time deciding between an iPod Classic and the Zune. And the price cut helps too. :) The main reason I purchased a iPod this last time around is that I thought the screen looked a little crisper and brighter. I was also used to the iPods since I owned a Mini prior to my 30GB iPod Video. However, a $50 difference would be a factor if I had to make that decision now.
