Sweet Deal: Hundred-dollar Zune at Future Shop (CDN)!
If you’re looking for a digital audio player (aka MP3 player, PMP) and you’re on a bit of a tight budget, I’ve got just the right deal for you: a sweet, hundred-dollar 8GB Zune at Future Shop (for Canadians only — sorry, everyone else).

If I didn’t have an iPod, I’d go pick one up right now. But since I do, I don’t think it’s anything to go nuts about.
In case you’re thinking of hocking it in a week to a friend or just an acquaintance for $140CDN, I’ve got one piece of advice: it’ll be hard to find someone to sell it to, due to the overwhelming amount of people that have iPods and MP3 players nowadays.
But, Christmas IS coming soon, and the Zune would make for a great first MP3 player. Please, parents, buy with discretion — if your kid is not in high school yet, there is no need to get them an MP3 player. Or a laptop. Or a Blackberry.
No, that’s not the 8GB Zune. But I’ve always been a supporter of the 30GB too. A much, much more interesting Zune experience — in my opinion. Plus the videos are much easier on the eys I would think.
So the conclusion — if you skipped everything and wanted to read everything in a summary, this is it: ignore it if you’ve got something, pick it up if you’re looking, and buy one for your kid only if he (or she) is in high school (for their social developments’ sakes).
