The 4GB version will drop to $99, the 8GB model will drop by $10 to $139, and the 16GB model will sell for $179, down from $199. Microsoft is also cutting prices for several of its Zune accessories. The cuts take effect on Wednesday in the U.S. and on Friday in Canada.” </em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//zt/auto/1227061978.usr307.png" border="1" /></p><p>Well, this is welcome news for the holiday season. I think this is something Microsoft should have done a long time ago, personally. The flash players are where the really big market is and I think these price cuts could actually have a big impact on their sales. The 8GB model at $139 is a very good price. <br /><br />My only problem will be deciding which one to buy. I really wanted a flash player for working out and I can’t think of a better time than this holiday season.<br /><br />The <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-10101356-75.html">CNet article </a>also talks about the new ad campaign that Microsoft kicked off on Monday that centers around getting people to download the software even if they don’t have the Zune player.</p>
