Zune 80 availability = Zero

Just got my Zune80 today, and been spending the last several hours transferring my CD collection (over 300 CDs) to my Zune. 3GB taken up... 77 to go!

Looks like the availability issue is slowly becoming a non-issue.  I just hope that everyone what wants one can get one well before Christmas.  Have had mine for a week now and I could not be happier.  I've owned two players, a Dell DJ and a Toshiba Gigabeat.  Loved them both but my Z80 does what the DJ and Gigabeat did, only much much better.

Add to that that I am so happy not to have an iPod.  I swear every other person I see on the bus and subway to and from work ahve iPods and that just feels so conformatory (I don't think thats a word but ya get my meaning).

Happy Holidays All

I just ordered from zuneoriginals.net and got it in 3 days!!!!  The price is about the same as you would pay for a plain one but you get to choose a design for the back and/or special text!  I wish I had done this for myself, as the order was for my child for Christmas.  The process was EASY and not to mention FAST delivery (this may change as the orders go up).  But this way you can get your Zune with out having to hit or miss at the stores (which by the way most store sites let you check inventory for your local stores - Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc...)   Anyway, check out the Originals (link on home page of Zune.net).  And no, I don't work for Zune or Microsoft, I'm just a happy customer! :)

I did the same thing - quick and easy... www.zuneoriginals.com

Zune 30 --> Zune 80 --> Zune 120 --> ZuneHD

I'm in Redmond, WA and it seems hit and miss.  I logged in to Target's website where they will show you a guess on store inventory, the Redmond Target had about 5 80GB units in stock, I had no trouble getting one.  I will note that several of the surrounding Target stores were out of stock on the 80GB models.

Got my Zune 80 Original yesterday!  It's great... took a long time to fill it back up with all my media but other than that all is well.  The device is much smaller/thinner than I thought it would be and the artist work etching on the back came out really schweet!  Lovin' it!

I hope someone has had some luck today finding a Zune80.  I've been to three wal-marts (one in a college town), another is the second largest wal-mart ever built, and the other was a tiny one and they all said the same thing.  They got the 4 and 8, but no 80.  I went to Target too.  This particular target was selling the 4 and 8 a week early and they told me today that they haven't recieved any 80's yet.  So, what gives?  Anyone struck gold yet?

I'm going to try Staples and then head to Best Buy when they open and hope to the high heavens they have an 80.  I've wasted too much gas on this!  I can't give up now!

Lol I had the same problem looking for mine. I just ordered online.. Sure it was on Back Order but the wait was only 2 or 3 days.

Awesome news! What City?

I walked into Target today looking for a Zune 80.  I went up to the mp3 section and saw about 50 flash zunes.  I then looked to the left and saw about 14 (yes 14) Zune 80s lined up and calling my name.  I am so happy and syncing my zune 80 at this very moment.  Looks like the avalibility is taking a spike!  Yaaaaay!
