Yes, you read it right. Just when you thought good deals are losing foot these days, surprise surprise. The Zunes just got cheaper. Across the board their price cuts from about $20-$30 for their 8 and 16 GB models. Good news for parents who would want MP3 players as gifts for their kids this Christmas. I hope Apple and other manufacturers follow this. The big capacity Zunes, however, same price.

Here’s a quick brush of the Zune prices:

Zune 4GB – $99.99
Zune 8GB – $139.99
Zune 16GB – $179.99

Aside from the Zunes, accessories for Zunes also got a price cut. Check out the Zune Dock Pack and the Zune Car Pack at Amazon.com.

Zune also announced a new firmware upgrade that comes with four free games. Zune firmware 3.1 comes with checkers, Sudoku, Space Battle and the multi-player version of Texas Hold ‘Em. The firmware also updates Zune’s GUI making it a little easy to navigate. A better Zune stability and performance is what this new firmware upgrade is about, thanks Microsoft.
