80GB Zune Sells Out

By Digital Trends Staff Published July 28, 2014

If you’ve been considering buying one of the 80GB Zune media players for Christmas, you might as well start sweating now. They’re sold out all across the Web, and the chances of finding one at a bricks-and-mortar retailer stand somewhere between slim and none.

Microsoft has promised more stocks will be available in around two weeks, and an Amazon spokesperson has told the Associated Press that they’re receiving a few units each week and that many Zunes have “definitely shipped and sold.”

Microsoft has to be happy at the response, since it’s been lagging far behind Apple and its various iPods in the media player market.
