Zune's Retail Price: $ 229.99?

Yesterday, we reported that Wal-Mart inadvertently listed the price of Zune in their website for $ 284. Those who are actually planning to buy Zune might get a little bit confused on the pricing. But according to Gizmodo, the 30GB Zune will be available for for $ 229.99, slightly cheaper than Apple's iPod price of $ 249.

If this turns out to be true, then Zune may just become appealing to consumers. But more than the lower price, Zune does have some features that iPod currently doesn't have. One of which is the wireless connectivity. Still, we're not sure if the lower price can boost Zune's sales on the market. But whatever the outcome, one thing holds true, competition does drive down prices.

It definitely seems better than the iPod now. More features, cheaper price. The only thing I don't like about it is its DRM thingy.
