Elaine Chow — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:46:00 EDT

To match the epic price slash Microsoft inflicted on its Xbox 360s in early September, the company's now offering the 120GB hard drive accessory for $30 less, dropping the cost from $179 to $149. In case you were still on the fence about buying the system, picking up an Arcade SKU (for just $199) and the hard drive would now get you to almost Elite SKU (retailing at $399) status for just $348.

Sean Fallon — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:15:00 EDT

It appears that at least one lucky shopper at a Fry's in Atlanta managed to get their hands on a 120GB Zune before its official release, and there are even unboxing pics (after the break) and a receipt to prove it. If you look closely, it rang up at $250—backing up recent rumors about the price. [Thanks Joe!]

September 9th Will Be Microsoft's Big Day, Too

Mark Wilson — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:10:00 EDT

While a lot of us are excited for the next Apple event on September 9th, that's the same date Microsoft has slated for their "Say Goodbye to Laser" event which, LiveSide has revealed, will feature more than their new mouse. It will also include a new line of LifeCams with 5 times zoom, hi def recording and 8MP stills. Of course, with all that other Microsoft news going on, ars technica thinks it'll be the perfect time to unveil their new Zune products—and we're inclined to agree. So what do you think? Will Microsoft have the goods to pull your attention away from Apple? [LiveSide via ars technica]

Wal-Mart Discountinues 80GB and 4GB Zunes? 120GB Zune Priced?

Mark Wilson — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:00:00 EDT

According to a Wal-Mart insider (OK, employee) the 80GB and 4GB Zune SKUs have both been listed as "NRPL" in Wal-Mart's database—that's retailer shorthand for "non-replenishable." Given Microsoft's recent confirmation of a new 120GB Zune along with some other unnamed goodies, it looks like new Zunes could be coming sooner as opposed to later. Or Wal-Mart has finally found someone to manufacture a Zoon.

Meanwhile, bhphotovideo.com posted a preorder of the Zune 120GB for $250 along with an 8GB Zune in blue. So will the new models hit before or after the Apple event? [Zunerama and Zunerama]

120GB Zune Makes World Debut Courtesy of FCC

Jason Chen — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:37:26 EDT

The FCC's test report—found by I Started Something—for an upcoming "Portable Media Device with 120GB Hard Drive" by Microsoft is the 120GB Zune, and was first tested June 19 of this year. What's this mean to you? Not a whole lot, since this Zune is the exact same size and shape as the old one, except with increased storage. It's likely that the 120GB Zune will be the new 80GB Zune later this year, assuming that Microsoft is going to push out another yearly update to their players and software suites. Or, it could just be a new size to go along with the old sizes. [I Started Something]

Rumor Says Xbox 360 Getting Another Price Cut in September

Jason Chen — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:00:00 EDT

The Xbox 360 "price cut" in July wasn't so much a price cut as it was a swapping of parts, but Ars says there's an actual price cut coming in September. According to their source—who also told them about the impending 60GB switch-out prior to E3—the Arcade is dropping to $199, the 60GB Pro to $299, and the 120GB Elite to $399. So say we all.
