When I was shopping a couple of weeks before Christmas there was a woman at Best Buy proselytizing the Zunes big-time. Not a Best Buy sales drone, either.

My local Wal-Mart’s out of 80s, has some flashes and a couple of Zune 30s on sale.

I stopped at BB, and they only had flash Zunes. I saw red and Black.

I’ll be hitting Best Buy tomorrow. I do love the Pink flash Zunes followed closely by the green, and then red and black.

I’ll let you know what I see.

Hmmm…well at least the Zunes aren’t in the same situation as the Wiis.

Nintendo could have cashed in big this holiday season, I’m wondering if the shortage was deliberate or not.

OK update from Tulsa Oklahoma.

Best Buy - all 2nd gens gone. A few 30’s not sure how many.
Circuit City - Few 80 left, some flashes. Thinking maybe 15 of the 80 and 10 of the flashes. The guy was being a jerk. He asked why I was looking at the Zunes because the iPods were better. I asked him if that was why there were more iPods left than there were Zunes.

As I was going home I stopped by Wal-Mart just to see: three red flash zunes left. A few 30s as well. That is it.

I only went to the stores that were by my house. There is another BB and CC in town. Along with a ton of Wal-Marts. Oh and didn’t see a pink one anywhere.

Hope this helps. Looks like I’ll have to wait for the next shipment to maybe be able to pick one up.

Oops, by style i meant trendiness and that they’d go along with the iPod crowd.

I just came from the BestBuy at zip-code 84058…and I found the following.

1) All 2nd Gen Zunes (4 GB, 8GB and 80 GB) are sold out! Three (3) Zune 30s are still instock. iPods are still in stock but seem to be moving along pretty quickly.

2) People are looking for accessories for the Zune since I saw 2 guys come in looking for the dock, cables, FM transmitters etc.

3) One lady (i guess she’s a mother) came in and was asking about the Zune. The Best Buy guy was telling her that there is the iPod to which the mother said, "but the Zune is better since it has a larger screen". I jumped in and said that the 80 GB Zune is better.

4) People aren’t too interested in the iPod touch since people looked at them and moved on

5) Other MP3 players (Sansa, Creative etc.) are being sold like hot cakes.

Just my $0.02 of what I saw.

that’s crazy. I thought the pink zunes would be all over the place.

Girls just tend to care about style more than guys. so i assumed the pink zunes would be the slowest to sell.

Very cool to hear.
