They are all too brainwashed and think that all MP3 players are called iPods.

Just like not all facial tissue is called Kleenex.  I don't call it brainwashed, but uneducated.

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero

Yes, yes.....let me add to that.... It's not called Plexi-glass, it's called an acrylic sheet. It's not called dry wall, it's called gypsum board, and so on....

I'll agree with "uneducated" over brainwashed for sure. Anyways it's fun to be snarky and correct someone with "this is not an iPod, it's a Zune". Or be even more of an a-hole: "it's not an mp3 player, it's a Portable Media Device." LOL!

Anyway, the great news about the Zune 80's currently low availability is that it's becoming more of a hot item for the holidays. Maybe by next year we'll see signs at electronic stores that read "MP3 Players/ iPods/ Zunes"Cool [H]

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero

Got mine last night at Target.  I was getting tired of being patient because I use my Gigabeat every day and since I dropped it, it will only work when plugged in so the time when I need it most (during my work commute), I didn't have my tunes.

Went back to Targets site and called every store in my area that said Available or Limited Availability.  Found one at the Target in Burke VA just 11 miles from my house.  Called them up and made sure the guy knew the difference between the 8 and 80 and he said he had only one and would hold it for 24 hours for me.  Ran out after work and could not believe it was really there.  I was kinda expecting to be let down again.

Of course I immediately needed to call my best friend and tell him I got one but strangely enough couldn't get any reception so I had to wait to rub it in but im glad I finally found one. 

I'm really impressed with the thing.  I prefer to have an EQ but I am quite satisfed with the sound quality.  The manual is a bit scan but to be honest, it tells you everything you need to know.  If you can't figure out how to operate the Zune within 10 minutes you probably shouldn't even have it.  Thats how easy it is to operate it.

Installation was quick and easy and the earbuds are just great.  I would say they sound even better than that Sony earbuds I used with my Gigabeat.  I hope for the rest of you that it won't be much longer before you can get your hands on one.

80GB is available at www.zuneoriginals.com !!!!  Only one color, but like AC/DC says "Back in black, I hit the sack...I've been gone too long, I'm glad to be back."   So one color option is fine with me.  :)

I ordered mine before posting this.....so y'all have at it!

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero
Well a bit after the 2.0's release I saw several in-stock at Wal-Mart and Target and local Gamestop stores. A few days after that.....they are all sold out. That's good in its own right, but now were back to 0 availability now lol.

I think it's kind of funny that microsoft is doing a controlled release purposely to make it seem like EVERYONE wants one, when in reality "sold out" generally means that the store only got one or two to begin with.

They did the same thing with the Xbox 360 at launch.... they gave each electronics store like 20 a week or something like that.

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero
Yes mine finally shipped from Best Buy online 2 days ago.  I'm very excited, this is my first Zune.  I had been debating whether to cancel my Best Buy order and get one from zuneoriginals.com but I didn't really like any of the art they had available and then my decision was made for me.  I'm annoyed about the delayed release, but at least I'll get it before Christmas.
