Only the strong survive: Paul Thurrott confirms that the Zune HD will kill off the rest of the Zune line. All models of the original Zune, flash and hard drive, are officially discontinued. If you want one, buy it now.
He also throws out one other tip: If you’re choosy about colors, don’t pre-order, because you’ll be stuck with black for the 16GB model or platinum for the 32GB one. If you wait until Sept. 15, when you can pick the color of your poison. Kind of a sad day—if Zune is killing off the giant capacity model to exclusively go the HD route, it makes it seem just slightly more likely that the iPod classic could be getting the axe too next Wednesday.
