GameStop to Stop Zune Sales Posted by XanTium | May 23 16:18 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From thestreet.com: [QUOTE] Video-game retailer GameStop has decided to stop selling Microsoft's Zune players at its stores due to what it sees as insufficient demand from customers. "We have decided to exit the Zune category because it just did not have the appeal we had anticipated," said a GameStop spokesperson. "It (also) did not fit with our product mix." GameStop made the decision about a month ago. GameStop said it will sell Zune players online until it clears out its inventory. Microsoft said Friday that the Zune continues to be carried by other big-box retailers. "We have a set of great partnerships that give Zune a strong presence at retail including Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart and others," said Adam Sohn, director of marketing for Zune, in a statement. "We will continue to invest in retail partnerships and have seen good momentum online and at retail over the last few months." [/QUOTE] Full Story: thestreet.com

When is Zune coming out in Europe. I like the idea of a Zune Pass to get me into new music. Something my Ipod doesn't really do.

If your really interested in this option, it's not a new concept. Napster has been doing it for years, and it works with several mp3 players and cell phones.
