    Zune's Final Price: $229.99 MSRP

    One of our moles on the inside told us Microsoft just had a meeting to determine the price of the 30GB Zune. The final tally: $229.99. Microsoft was going to go $289.99 to undercut the iPod by $10, but since Apple dropped the bombshell that they were lowering prices to $249, Microsoft had to scramble to undercut the lower price as well.

    As a result, the Zune might be dropping some pre-loaded content that nobody really cared much for anyway. – Jason Chen
