Complete Zune Details
Two weeks ago I posted the newest information released by Microsoft about it’s upcoming “Zune” device, but there were 2 main things missing in the long list of details, the price and date. Today, we now know them.
Price: $249.99
Date: November 14th, 2006
Ironically, I personally will already be at Best Buy on November 14th, as I’ll be in day 3 of my week long camp out for the PS3. Yes, I’m getting one at launch, but not to play it, but to rip off a Sony fanboy on eBay, my dream for a while now. Looks like I’ll be bringing an extra $250 with me and my laptop.
The Zune will also be using the same kind of Microsoft Points system that Xbox Live does, as well as the option of paying a monthly fee for unlimited songs.
A Zune Pass subscription gives consumers access to millions of songs for $14.99 per month.
Users can purchase songs individually using Microsoft® Points for 79 points per track. Similar to a pre-paid phone card, Microsoft Points is a stored value system that can be redeemed at a growing number of online stores, including the Xbox Live® Marketplace.
You can find a list of accessories along with their price over at the official Microsoft press site.
