Best Buy Sells Zune Early

Oops, looks like a Best Buy salesman in Union City, CA screwed up today by letting a Zune out of the bag a little too early. The only problem is, the customer can't install the software. That's karma for you.

not only the employee screw up, but also Best Buy, I work once a week at Circuit City and the system won't let you sell something that has not been release even if we have it in stock.

I would have expected something like this from Walmart, but not Best Buy. I have this strong urge now to go store to store seeking out a helpful clueless employee

Ooopss, I'm at Circuit City right now and I was able to ring a black Zune, I didn't finish the sale because I need to get someone else to sell it to me. If you come here I will act as a clueless salesperson

Well, no one would sell me one today I know both Circuit City and Walmart had them because they had the working displays out, but they both told me to come back on Tuesday. Damn those well informed sales people!

I've also heard that v1.1 of the Zune software will be delivered through Windows Update on the 14th. Not long to go now.
