Where to Get A Zune
last updated on May 6, 2009
Buying In-Store
In choosing retailers to carry the Zune, Microsoft selected partners who would be able to deliver the Zune experience as quickly as possible, with the most amount of technical expertise as possible. Below are the retailers who have the Zune available for purchase.
Buying Online
If you don’t need instant grattification there’s always ordering online. Most times you’ll find it for cheaper then in-store prices at these fine online retailers, however most online retailers do require you to submit delivery information, and pay for shipping so keep those both in mind when making your decision.
Buying Refurbished and Second Hand
Sometimes you don’t want to spend the money to get a new device. Places like Craigslist and eBay are great sites to pick up used second hand merchandise. Also some sites sell refurbished models that were returned to Microsoft for being defective, but have since been fixed. Although the prices may seem good it’s good to remember that when buying electronics second hand it’s best to get something that at least doesn’t look like it’s taken to many hits. If the device shows signs of being dropped or neglect move on to the next listing and find one that doesn’t. Refurbished models are actually the reverse. While some of them might have scratches usually the enternal parts have been certified by Microsoft as working perfectly. There are also a lot of scammers out there so remember to ask about the return policy before ordering.
Premium Buying Experience
Although the first in-store and online shopping are great, the best way to order a Zune is through ZuneOriginals.net. Although it’s usually a week or two wait, not only are you able to pick out your own art to be engraved on the back for an extra fee, you also get a poster featuring the art work you choose and the option to engrave three lines of text also engraved on the back plate of your device.
