Default [ZuneScene] Zune Upgrades on the way

Quote:
Update June 30th: Our source indicates the upgrade plan is still coming, however the necessary internal paperwork was not completed in time for a June timeframe. Hang on to those Zune 30's a little longer folks.

Microsoft is preparing to start a hardware upgrade plan in June according to Zune Scene sources. The upgrade plan is for Zune owners who want more capacity, less capacity, a different color (only red or black will be initially available), or perhaps just a new Zune. The plan is specially targeted at owners of damaged OOW (out of warranty) 30GB Zunes according to the source. Below is the price matrix for the upgrades:
Unit
Upgrade Price
Usual Price
Discount
Zune 120 GB Red/Black
$179.99
$249.99
$70
Zune 80 GB Red/Black
$159.99
$229.99
$70
Zune 16 GB Red/Black
$109.99
$179.99
$70
Zune 8 GB Red/Black
$99.99
$139.99
$40
Zune 4 GB Red/Black
$69.99
$99.99
$30
The source also indicated that extended warranty purchase for all Zune 30's will no longer be available, the upgrade plan appears to be a sort of replacement for that option. Fortunately all Zune upgrades will come with a full year warranty. Wondering where to get the upgrade? Not at a retail store. Upgrades should be requested on the Zune support line 1-877-GET-ZUNE (1-877-438-9863) but don't forget to wait until Microsoft announces the plan before you call.

Ha, maybe.

I'm considering trading in one of my 30gb Zunes for a 120gb. If I can get it in Red. The price is right, that's for sure.

Zune HD might not have 120 GB of storage. This upgrade program is good for people who need more space.
