Ya discontinued items always shoot up in price but Zunes are amazing and well worth it. well... not worth 500+ the normal 249 is worth it.

True - it's not Amazon's fault. It's marketplace scammers. As others have said - don't buy from these guys. If you really, really, really just have to have a discontinued Zune, get it on eBay for a reasonable price.

I wish people would stop blaming Amazon. Amazon is no longer selling the device. Its a MARKETPLACE seller that is using AMAZON To sell the Zune & unfortunately they have hacked up the price since the 80GB models are being discontinued. Dont blame Amazon, its the seller.

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.

Now it's $149, which is around the right price. Hopefully it keeps dropping. I'm wanting to get a 4TB soon.

Technology doesn't always decrease in price. This is especially the case for SSDs and ram for the past 1-2 years due to significant supply issues. I remember purchasing a 256GB SSD for around $400 and now the prices have jumped as high as $700. If only the stock market would have done as well, I'd be rich :p

My guess-- and it's only a guess-- is that there is a current $30 ASUS rebate available if you buy the 1005 together with an ASus DVD drive. (See the J&R; site) Amazon doesn't mention it.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

Dude, it's too expensive to order smaller quantities of 2 & 4 gig cards then have separate storage and more labor keeping them separate and pulling them correctly for the right order. mine came with a four gig so its just a way of offering you the option of paying $5 more if you'd like to. doesn't the other one you're talking about come with some sort of reusable condom in case you take your personal body camera to a golden showers party so it won't get wet?

Loooks like Asus is coming back to earth.With competitin fro Acer Aspire one they first tried $50.00 rebate on 901 which probably did not work now they dropped price by $100 on 900 and 1000 series and $50 on 16 G linux 900.They had priced these things unreasonably high.But still Acer aspire one 160 gb XP is still a better deal.

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part. I guess January has become gouge month or something.

You can't consider Amazon pricing to always make sense, nor stay the same. Currently 1 x 4GB is $36 but 2 x 4GB is only $61. As Manuel mentioned the advantage is odds are much higher they are identical or at least the manufacturer expects them to be compatible used as a pair, while the disadvantage is that if one of the two is defective or fails then you may have to send them both in for replacement instead of being able to have the computer limp along with half the memory till you receive the replacement.

Agreed. I love amazon but this is ridiculous! You can buy a brand new third gen nano with 8gb (twice the memory of this) for $199 online at apple.com. And they're selling the 2nd gen ones as refurbished for $99.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I was looking at the 120gb at the local Best Buy today. I thought I would get some assistance from a live person, who surely was well-informed on the merchandise. I asked the sales rep if the new one would fit in the old ones dock, etc. She said "Oh yes, it'll fit, sure it will. If it's the same size." Hopefully someone will come here and enlighten us!

the pieces are actually the same. Well the only difference (it maybe a huge one for some people but not me) is the clarity of the screen. Yes, the screen is brighter on the 80GB for movies and video than the 30GB. Besides that, there isn't much difference. Of course, who can compare 30GB to 80GB. It's always good to have more memory, you may want to load movies and tv shows later on after getting hooked on the piece. Nowadays everybody needs one piece of equipment that can hold all their stuff, don't you as well?

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

You have to pick the gb. It comes starting at 16 GB . I have 32 GB. The one in this picture is 64 GB and the price sounds about right for that. The higher the GH the higher the cost.
