Default [SOLVED] Amazon Zune listings...wtf?

Hey guys, I'm new, obviously. I went to purchase a Zune from Amazon today, when I saw two different types of Zunes listed: ThisThis more expensive Zune 120, and this otherthis other cheaper, less informative Zune 120.

What's the difference?

It says one is black and the other (cheaper one) is gloss black. It even has a different model number for each one. I thought all of the black second generation Zunes are glossy.

But I thought ALL Zune 120's were glossy black? I've been deliberating this purchase for a good 2 weeks now, watching many, many reviews, and I just decided to actually purchase today. So what about the actual hardware, other than that? Just gloss for a $33 discount?

You can also get a red Zune 120, but on Amazon, it is the same price as the more expensive black Zune 120. I have not heard anyone have a non-glossy black Zune 120, so it is probably just a listing error. The hardware should be the same for both supposed versions of black. You will not be losing out on anything if you get the cheaper black. You would just be saving some money.

Alright. A couple of Google search results told me it was the Canadian version. I should get a US plug, right? I don't want to buy this thing then it end up being the wrong model.

There is no difference. Do with it what you would do with an American one.

While it is strange that Amazon would make such an error, I'm going to say that this question has been solved and closed.
