HELL YES BELIEVE IT!

WALMART HAS ZUNE 80 FOR $138.54.  Price mistake or not, they have to honor the sale!  

The whole day it was out and in stock!  It was in stock around 6PM EST and I got a hold of one.  Keep your eye on it!!

This is not refurbished, used, or any thing like that.  It is 100% new.

Once it comes back in stock, buy it ASAP! I can guarentee that it will be GONE in less than 2 minutes.  

So it's gone online but you can still get this deal!  Go to any major electronic store such as Best Buy or Circuit City and ask for a price match.  Print out and show them the webpage which is attached to the first post in this thread.  If you're lucky enough you may be walking out with the cheapest Zune 80 ever.

Here is a tutorial made by our very own Dizzy on how to get the Zune 80 for $140. 

Guys I am not saying that this will work 100% but there is no loss for trying.  Please don't misinterpret this and hate Zuneboards if you don't get the price match.

Happy Hunting

Heh sorry for the horrible title but I gotta admit, the new zSuite v2 release is pretty awesome.  PityOnU and his fellow hackers from DarkZune released zSuite a while back but on April 2, 2008 the second version came out.  It consisted of zAlternator, zThemer, zExplorer, and zIconer.  All here to enhance your Zune Software experience.

 

Brand:  Kicker
Item Description: Kicker ZK500
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price:  $349.99

Zunerama got their hands on a beastly $349 speaker dock for the Zune. It shreds the Altec Lansing M604 speaker into pieces, with it's 40-watt stereo amplifiers, Five-inch woofers, and Six-inch subwoofer. Harvey from Zunerama says, 

"We're pleased to see Kicker enter the Zune stereo market with this compelling stereo system. We're awarding the ZK500 our Recommended by Zunerama rating."

For the full review (and lots of pictures) head on over to Zunerama!

Has the Zune 80 been shot down at Target? 

Rumor has it that Target decided to stop selling Zune 80s. Not exactly suprising seeing that they have an entire aisle for the iPod and just a small corner for the Zune but to officially end their supply of Zune 80 is unbearable!

Today while randomly browsing the internet I came across a little known website, www.zune.net, on the front page I saw something which I had not seen here before. There was a picture of a guy snowboarding wearing some crazy clothes. I clicked on the link which brought me to the Zune.net Community Spotlight page. Currently in this area there are 4 Winter X Games athletes who each have a playlist, and a short bio for people to look at. It is great to see the Zune Team connecting with some athletes. The four athletes they have right now are Tanner Hall, Kevin Pearce, Jen Hudak, and Grete Eliassen. Hopefully more athletes will be added in the future, and you can find the website here.

Cesar, the Zune Insider, has featured the ZuneSocial on Channel 8.  While you may or may not know about the info he gives, it also gives a great opportunity to see the 'Insider himself.  Thanks Cesar!
