Re: re: Re: Zune 120 no longer in canada?

This is old news. There are no more Zunes in Canada for the time being, not even the Zune HD. Only the Zune HD is available in the US. You can still get an 80/120GB Zune online from Zune Originals in the US but all Zunes are being phased out in Canada. A 160GB iPod Classic is probably the best choice for a comparable mp3 player with lots of storage, and there's a 64GB iPod touch for those who like the Zune HD but want more storage. The only other option is to get a Zune from the US but there is no warranty and no option for repair (except for the older Zunes I guess) so you're buying it at your own risk.

So let me get this right there will be no more Zune 4/8/16/80/120  just the Zune HD. This really sucks in a lot of ways cause I love the 120 but something has the memory and everything but the hd and touchscreen. If the zune 120 is going extinct then I might as well go to the forsaken ipod 

Not sure if this was mentioned, but they have DISCONTINUED ALL the Zunes apart from the new HD (obviously).  Which affects us, that means no more new Zunes on the market.  If you are looking to buy, you'll have to look for used ones on popular for sale sites.

If this helps anyone there are places in Newfoundland that still sell Zune120's.

It is not listed on the website but i know the Future Shop in St. John's still has at least 1. It may not be in all stores but sometimes it doesn't hurt to go up to the counter and ask.

I went to Future Shop today to have my Zune 120 replaced under warranty... I was told they no longer carry them, had them check if any other store in the surrounding 200km had any and none.  The manager told me that Future Shop no longer carries them anywhere in Canada and will not be carrying them again in the knowable future. 

So I was given a choice ... Take an iPod or gift card...

So the question now is what will I use my card towards?

My cousin went through the exact same thing, only he was offered a gift card or the only floor model Zune 120 they had, He took the floor model and it works fine. Futureshop is done with the current Zunes but I think Best Buy still has some Zunes, particularily black/blue flash Zunes (i think they're 4gb only) and red 120GB Zunes.

Rumours have it is that the CRTC and Microsoft are having an issue and Microsoft has started pulling the 80s and 120s off the shelf because of it.  I mean, we were to have the Marketplace in Canada last year.  We were all waiting for this.  And after 2 years and it still hasn't come to fruitition.  This makes the most sense.

I hope they're taking it out because they want to replace them with the HD's, but it isn't coming to Canada (not as of yet anyway).  So who knows if we are even going to get it.

I saw a fair selection of Zunes and accessories at the local Walmart last Saturday. Maybe they won't replace stock, but for now at least some stores still have supply. I can't believe I just gave a plug for Walmart! Eeewww!

hmm, i think the source is or was owned by cuircuit city, but then some other company bought it??? im not too shure on it, but if they are going out of buisness, ***

Isn't the source going out of business? So that's yet another place that's not going to have them soon lol. Is it just Canada seeing these shortages? I haven't been to a Best Buy or Futurshop in a while maybe I should check it out, but every time I've been to one since they've been released here I've seen them near the iPods so it's kind of wierd hearing they're disappearing when I'm so used to seeing them whenever I go into a tech store.

oh actually i went to The Source and they have em. last time i was their i saw 120's and 8gb's

I have seen zunes in the walmarts here, they never have had the 120 on the site as far as i can tell, walmart.ca is not a very good site in my opinion, half the stuff they have isnt on there, as for futureshop, and bestbuy, i havent seen any in stores, or online, this really sucks i was going to get one soon, i better hurryand hope walmart still has some
