@ sethmedia – My dad bought my brother’s Zune on woot.
www.woot.com It was refurbished but a great deal. I don’t know if your familiar but Woot only puts up one deal for 24 hours. When it’s gone it’s gone. Unless it is a woot off. Then it keeps changing for an undetermined amount of time.
I bought my 16 gig iPod touch for $100 off refurbished. I have had no trouble.
You can also go to www.bagsofcrap.com and set up something that will notify you when a Zune comes up.
