More Zune 2.0 Evidence

The price list they give is as follows:<br /><br /></p><ul> <li>Zune AC Adapter (V2) - $29.99 </li> <li>Zune Cable Pack (V2) - $39.99 </li> <li>Zune Car Pack (V2) - $79.99 </li> <li>Zune Dock Pack (V2) - $49.99 </li> <li>Zune Home AV Pack (V2) - $99.99 </li> <li>Zune Sync Cable (V2) - $19.99 </li></ul><p>I&rsquo;ll be honest though, the prices given here don&rsquo;t hold much interest to me (There is something that interests me.&nbsp; More on that in a moment.). I also don&rsquo;t think we need more &lsquo;evidence&rsquo; the Zune 2 is coming. We already know that.</p><p>I find this list interesting because this indicates there is a substantial change to the hardware of the Zune. I&rsquo;m trying to figure out what other reason Microsoft would need to release a version 2 of the sync cable. That&rsquo;s not so great if that&rsquo;s the case.<br /><br />All of these new accessories really have me itching to see what the Zune 2 looks like, that&rsquo;s for sure!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I think I've got this one.

1) If we're relating the hardware version of Zune with the accessories, then this "Zune 2.0" "proof" is out the window. Why? We technically have "Hardware Version 2" of Zune (Settings > About > Zune). Meaning, Microsoft probably refers to the accessories as V2 because of that.

2) Zone Alarm 5. If this were a list for upcoming prices...currently, they're testing version 7.0, or so it seems. Meaning...they wouldn't worry about upcoming products which are 2 versions old.

Super sleuthing! Good job on all of that. (Isn't the information age great?)

So I would say this 'scoop' isn't much of a scoop based on your interpretation of what you see. Which, to be honest, makes more sense than what it supposedly is.

Also keep in mind that this is the price sheet of a video game store and they have older stock, which is why you can purchase the Tiger Woods 2005 PC game from them for a mere $14.99! ;)

I did call my friend who happens to be a manager at the GameCrazy that was right next store to my old Cingular store and he looked through his price sheet as well as searched through there company database and stated that there was nothing new on the Zune side coming out anytime soon.

He did promise to give me a call the moment new Zune hardware shows up in the computer though as he is a big Zune fan himself! :D

Ok...well, it will...eventually...ok...tomorrow. (fast paced tech life) ;)

I didn't know they were making a new ZUNE. Anyone know when it's released?
