Isn't unusual to have a clearance sale 7 months after the product launched?

I think "clearence" is a bit of an exaggeration - the pink 4 GB Zune is selling from Amazon for $135 (http://astore.amazon.com/zunethoughts-20/detail/B000WFZRZG/102-6979566-0409757). This is only $15 off that price, so it seems like like a sale than "we're blowing this product out".

i agree that it isnt a clearance on the scale of discounts we have seen from buy.com, but they are calling it a clearance, so for whatever its worth.

if you combine this with the reports of random targets (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=313172&t=803243&highlight=zune) clearing out Flash Zunes...and I mean CLEARANCE, like $74 for a 4Gb.....I think something is up.

$74 for a 4 GB Zune? Wow - now THAT'S a fire-sale price. :p

Hmm... does anyone know if there are any Consumer Electronic events coming up? Any "announcement" oppurtunities in the near future?

I really don't see any of this stuff as being more than just random sales

Costco has them at $129 (and the 8GB at $169 and the 80GB at $229):

my local walmart has red and pink flash zune 4s for $129...not a stellar deal, but lower than normal.
