The popular Canadian retailer Future Shop has announced they have dropped the price of the Zune 8GB to $100 CAD, down from $150.

These guys don't ship to US???
So, what's the point? A handful of Canuk's get Zune's for $81 bucks? Big deal.

Hold on to your britches!

This is only the beginning of the price wars. Apple has slashed their prices in the last few months by 30-40% and over 60% for the year. Sansa is comming on line with cheap and good mp3 players. This was before no one was buying much.

I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers, my point was that while an $81 dollar price is good, it's hardly an indicator of the future. The deal is limited to Canada only (hardly an international marketplace) and there are none in stock.
I was wondering why it was newsworthy...
