Microsoft slashes Zune pricing ahead of Apple iPod event | |
|
||
| Time: 11:24 EST/16:24 GMT | News Source: AppleInsider | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Hours before Apple Inc. is expected to introduce new iPods at a special event in San Francisco, rival Microsoft Corp. has announced that it is dropping the retail price of its 30GB Zune music player to $200. Electronista points to a posting on Microsoft's Zune Insider blog making note of the $50 cost reduction: "It's part of the normal product lifecycle, something we’ve had on the books for months," wrote Microsoft's Cesar Menendez. "We just got some research back and customer satisfaction with the 30GB device is really high (around 94 percent) and we expect even more consumers will now want to discover the Zune experience at the new lower price." | ||

Zune has another problem...
With the seemingly endless train of media companies going unprotected MP3, the Zune's proprietary DRM is now a double-strike against it. Some say this will also hurt Apple. I don't see it that way. If 70% of the people are willing to buy iPods when the Apple Store was also proprietary DRM, just think how many might buy it now that they can get their music from _anywhere_. People don't buy iPods because of iTunes. They buy iPods because, even though a bit more expensive, they ARE the best players on the market. Apple may lose some money on the iTunes side, but that's not where the money is. The money is in the hardware sales. I always thought Archos might give them a run for their money, and they do have their dedicated crowd, but Archos just can't quite get it right. TL |
