I work at best buy, and currently all the stores do not even carry the 80 gigs. they're set to online only at the moment. we cant even order them!

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero
I'm pretty disappointed with Microsoft on this one.  You would think if there was a shortage we would get some type of message.  I've been looking at all the forums and admin folks have been leaving reply's all over the place but not here.  What's the deal?  No one in Dayton, Ohio has it.  Way to go Microsoft, this is a sure fire way to get to #2.  My mp3 player broke about a month ago and I've been waiting on the 80gb, but I might just go with an ipod instead.  Ok, not really but the sansa's are looking good at this point.

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero

I understand how you feel.  My Gigabeat still works but only when its plugged in.  I can get it fixed but I want a Zune 80.  I don't know if its Microsofts fault or not but a little bit of communication with the people on this site in particular would only do good for Microsoft.

But I'll be patient and just wait because I don't want an iPod because everybody else in the world has one and I just hate having the same thing everyone else does.  So I'll wait!

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero
I can't believe people are up in arms over this.. the ship date was yesterday (11/13). Why did anyone expect the product to arrive at your local retail store the day they were shipped? Usually when items like these are shipped on a Tuesday, they're widely available on Wednesday and Thursday.

No one "messed up" the shipment, you're just impatient and unrealistic.

Goto http://zuneinsider.com/archive/2007/11/13/launch-day-in-the-zune-building.aspx#comments  Someone from the Zune team is checking into the situation.  It seems they didn't think there would be such a demand for the 80's.  Who knew.  Anyway, he is checking into it and is supposed to be posting some answers there when he gets them.  They are going for $350 on eby right now if ya really want one.

Well,  some stores have them some don't.  Also, online ordering is now saying it will be mid december before anymore are even shipped.  So it's not just a "Ship date" issue.

Ah, if this turns out to be an actual demand issue, that shows how well the Zune may be able to compete with the iPod

ZuneOriginals, yes but you can still order it online from other outlets.

It was stated that the 4 and 8 versions were shipped to retailers 1-2 weeks ago

Yep, just checked a bunch of stores here in Dallas and no one has any.  I picked up a 30 last year on the launch/ship date without issue.

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero
I didn't see that the 4's and 8's where shipped out 1-2 weeks ago.  Mind posting a link for that.  Also, it's not just Zuneoriginals that aren't offering the 80's till Dec.  Goto amazon.com or anyother online retailer and they aren't shipping till even dec.  If you find one that does have the 80 let me know!!!

re: Zune 80 availability = Zero

Well, I just got back from Circuit City and they have won another round. As I am sitting here with my new 80GB Zune.Had ordered one from Amazon and cancelled the order this morning. Went on Circuit City's web site at 5:30 AM this morning.and one of the stores in my area had one. Did the order online and pickup at store later. Just now.....
