How to still get the zune for $138

[Dizzy]

I say this is for Circuit City because that's where I got mine. Other stores may or may not work.

First, you best hurry, and if your CC thinks to check walmart's website, it's been removed so it probably won't happen.

Here's what I'd recommend:
1) Call your local Circuit City and ask if they price match. Tell them you have a printout of a deal, but lost the original ad. If they say it's fine, head over. If not, see if there's another around or try it anyway.
2) Get your Zune and walk up to the service desk.
3) Tell them you'd like to get a price match and you called in advance to make sure a printout would work. Cashiers usually don't care that much, they don't see a loss in profits. My cashier said stuff like "OH! That's a good deal". Well, no ****.
4) Pay. I'd recommend doing it in cash.
5) Hopefully skip merrily away with a new zune.

Use the following PDF: http://zuneboards.com/staff/Diz/zune80_for_138.pdf
Or Jon's SS: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/zun...-138-54-a.html

Not guaranteed to work, but it's gotten me and two of my friends a new zune 80.

Good luck

EDIT:
I'm being told a lot of CC are saying they would have to verify the deal. Since it's been removed from the website, it'd be a no go.
You can still get by though. The PDF I made is dated yesterday from when the deal was still in existence. Just tell them you haven't checked up on it since then.

Also, Greg says Sears is a possibility.

Here is a list of know stores that will NOT do this:
Portland, ME- BB&CC
Augusta, ME- BB&CC
Auburn, ME- BB

PM me if you want a store added to this list.

Tip for firefox users:

When printing out the screenshot Jon attached, edit the headers. Go to File --> Page Setup --> Margins & Headers/Footers. Then for left, click the dropdown and select Custom. Then type in "Walmart.com - Save money. Live Better." Then for the right, select custom and copy and paste "http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7958481&sourceid=02997065023 217283025"

hey Dizzy put up that picture you sent me :]. If ppl dont believe you

[Jon]

Also guys, the longer you wait the less chance you will have getting the Zune 80.

[ProOne]

I wonder how many people are kicking themselves about now because they waited too long and can no longer get it for the sale price.

[charmed61]

lol i got it today at bestbuy! and today is the third day AFTER that 138 dollar zune come out!!! the smaller your city is the more chance you can get it cause probably no one know about it. and you also have to try many stores, one of them HAVE to have a new employee or manager that dont know they're suppose to check. that's what happened to me

[Scrapz616]

Damn, you guys are lucky
I had to buy mine at full price, cuz every store I went to checked online(no zune) and some places didn't have any in stock
But still, I'm glad some ppl are still getting the zune,
Good luck to everyone who tries

Any way you can?
My phone doesn't do well with getting pictures off.

[Jon]

Use bluetooth if your computer has or you can use send text message to email and attach the photo.

Anyway
Congrats to all the people that got the Zune80 for $140, I have confirmation email that mine has been shipped from Walmart.

Oh My Gawd... I can't believe this, I wish I held on to the last moneys I earned over the last 2 weeks... now I can't afford one, I hope I can get some money before its too late everywhere.

I was given a ZUNE 80 a week ago and returned it yesterday due to the poor sound when compared to the latest IPOD side by side with identical and then different ear buds. Although I loved all the features which the ZUNE had that blew the IPOD out of the water the main reason I wanted it was for great sound and it simply did not cut the mustard. Sorry guys. I am now in a patient wait mode for Microsoft to react to the many of us who want an EQ and higher power output for better sound.

HIGHER power output??? are you kidding me? did you have the volume up high enough? maybe it was the files you were listening to. MP3S at or over 160KBps, wma's over 128kbps, and don't even bother with aac, even though its possible to make a zune play aac, whats the point? I'm willing to bet you gave that zune an unfair trial.
