GameStop to stop selling Zunes Microsoft is in for more bad news regarding its Zune personal music players, as GameStop on Thursday announced it decided to stop selling the flash-memory digital music player in its stores. The video-game retailer said lack of consumer demand and the device's ill fit with its existing offerings prompted the decision, which was made about a month ago. The retail chain is made up of hundreds of stores across the US, and will not order new stock, clearing out existing inventory exclusively on its web store.

I got the 30gig “brown” for $99 at Costco in december, the older thicker one, and haven’t had a bit of trouble with it. I have had a few updates for the software etc., but they have been no problem at all. It has worked flawlessly.

My old 2gig Nano 2nd gen is buried in the sock drawer somewhere.
I have 700 cds to fill it up with.

Between the Zune and Vista they have laid a couple of eggs.

Eggs at least have the potential of growing up to be fried chicken...

I think Microsoft is brooding on some round rocks.

I was thinking today about the VHS vs. Betamax face-off. At least with the duelling videocassette formats, if you got either type from manufacturers worldwide and put it in a compatible player, you were guaranteed to get a maddog picture. Now, when you get a DVD player, you gotta search for the few DVD brands that are compatible with your machine!

What's going on?

Well, we’ve been pushing to hike up the speed limit because of the flat, straightness.

That might work. You think you guys could kick it up to a buck and a quarter?
