Extreme shortages are totally bad. You should understock a little bit but when I had to go through 8 stores(all but one saying that didn't even get shipments of zune 80s) to find one zune 80 I was pissed. The people who think this is good are wearing zune launch goggles. It isn't that zune 80s are selling out, they're just way under quota, I saw tons of zune 4s and 8s. Microsoft had momentum going into the zune 2 launch, people were excited but they ****ed up on a major scale. I am loyal zune bought the zune 30 day 1 and waited breathlessly for zune 80 almost having a Christmas eve-like glee the day before launch and If I didn't find a zune 80 I probably would've bought Ipod like a majority of people. Unbelievable. When you are an under dog to the juggernaut that is ipod this shouldn't happen. Microsoft is purely to blame for the zune 80 shortage and consequently the loss of A)Disappointed Zune fans B)People wanting a new mp3 player. Welcome to the social? I think not. Way to **** up another one microsoft.
