Default Zune 4/8/80 Confirmed for November 13th



In one of Microsoft's new print ads, the words "New 4, 8, 30, 80 GB Zune: begining 11.13.07"

Yes, it says "begining".

Looks like we can expect our new best friends on the 13th.

Awesome (for the announcement, not the College that they went to)! Not that there was much doubt at this point.

At least they're doing some advertising unlike their messed up advertising scheme for V1.

Damn it. I have to stand by my standards that I have no respect for a company that cannot use proper grammar in a public release.

I am saddened.

Not to fret...I dunno where Dragod got that pic, but here's a scan of the most recent RollingStones magazine spread of the Zune...complete with no typos.....Sorry, not the best quality...but that's the bet my scanner could do....


See full size images are HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE

And YES...it's a FIVE page layout!! MS ain't playin' around!

Question Good News - I hope

I am glad to see some positive Zune activity from Microsoft. Does anyone know of any specific details regarding the Marketplace's future with regard to Video and Podcast availability?

Punching out !

Matt

I pre-ordered the 80Gig from Circuit City for $249.00. Probably got killed, but I get gift cards for points earned from work, so essentially it only cost me tax. That said, they wanted $199 retail for the current 30Gig, which I know can be bought for $99 on whoot, but I thought $50 more for 50 more gigs wasn't bad.
