Why is the zune hd so expensive if they dont even produce them anymore?

Economics of any device centers around supply and demand. Because it is such a great product and they do not manufacture them anymore, demand is high and supply is low. Enough people are willing to swallow the costs to get their hands on one.

I ended up sending mine back to Amazon. They were super-cool about it, shipped out a replacement via 1-day the same day, and I should have a new ZUne by the time I get how from work today. We'll see if I fare any better this time around.

Because its successor (Wireless Anywhere) extremely sucks. It heavier and bigger. I personally, would pay up to $100 for this one if it is new.

Good point. I don't really see any huge differences between ipod and Zune except for the radio thing. I used to love to listening to the radio but when I bought my iPod I only listened to the morning shows because all the songs I wanted to listen to were on my iPod and I didn't have to get through commercials to listen to them. So I guess if you just absolutely need you a radio, get a zune. However, I'm not a fan of the Marketplace. The subscription service sucks. If you get rid of it all you songs go too. But if that's just what you're looking for then more power to you.

My HD works with it as well. All it needed was an update, and that was done by simply plugging up the zune to it. I suspect that's why it's jumped up incredibly in price... guess I should've bought 3 instead of one while it was cheap!And just a general note... fm transmitters all seem to put out the same quality, no matter if it cost 5$ or 85$ dollars -- at least in all the places I've used it in. I only bought this one because it was crazy cheap at the time. At the current price, my 10$ one from ebay may not look as nice, but does the exact same job.

I am pretty sure they DON'T come with premium headphones. I ordered my Zune 120gb yesterday, I am getting it tomorrow. I guess I'll find out then.

I agree with what you say. The zune does seem to have been hurried to the market. It's difficult to take the zune as a competitor at the moment, but microsoft has already announced its plans for a "family of devices". So i'd wager that the scene will be very different once the newer zunes start arriving. Hopefully they'll release a larger capacity version as well; that's the only thing holding me from buying the device.

Ok so if they fix the problem but my Zune won't even get past the load screen without freezing, how will I be able to download the patch they come out with to fix the problem? They way I see it, my zune is now a $200 paper weight.

I sent mine back, it was worthless... I replaced it with a Zune 80gig refurbished, it works perfectly, plus there are lots of very cheap (under $10) accessories available, like a case, a remote control unit and extra charging equip.....

Eric - check the Reviews. One other buyer has evaluated the item on a Zune 120GB.

I purchased my HD2000 from ebay for $569.00. So it is really silly to buy the 1010 for 600+$

There's actually a few cases out for the 80Gb. Check the offical Zune webpage at www.zune.net

Ok great thanks for your comments; was getting scared, thought that this version was coming out with problems. BTW, what do you think about the Zune or the Creative Zen? do they match with iPod?Thanks once again

I think it's the niche market and Sony is charging premium for it. The price should go down or they will try to match the specs in next few weeks.

I have the same problem, pre-ordered new Zune 80, and interested in this pack. I see that there is a new a/v pack. Is this 100% certain? Are there any official sources of info on this?

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.
