Zune 80 availability = Zero

Same problem here and I'm in Arlington, VA (just outside DC) and I cannot find it anywhere.  I called four nearby Target stores, two Circurit City stores and three BestBuy stores and none are selling the 80g.  What gives?  I thought all models were supposed to be available today.  My music collection is now at 3200 tracks and the 8g just won't do for me, besides I prefer the hard drive based players over flash any day.

Would really love to know what the status on the 80g model is.

Welcome to the Dawn! HM

Southern Illinois.  Carbonale area.  You may be familiar with SIU...but then again probably not.  Thanks for the luck, though.  If I had patience I would wait to get it personalized also.  Luckily for me, I have none.

Out of curiousity, where are you located? Oh, and good luck finding the Zune 80, I'm gonna wait til I can get it personalized.

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!

[UPDATE]  Day 3 of searching and my search has come to an end.  A wal-mart near me recieved 1 Zune 80 this morning and I snatched it up.  My advice to everyone would be this:  Be Persistent!  Half of the people you're going to call will have no idea what you are talking about.  If they say they have some make sure they can see the physical box and not just the cardboard display.  (It's happened)

They're getting to stores slowly, but surely.  With that being said, keep us all updated!
