 We lived long enough to read this! CNN Money reports customers lining up to buy Zune in Manhattan's Toys 'R' Us store in Times Square since yesterday midnight. Toys 'R' Us has one of the best deals available ever for Zune. This Black Friday you can buy the last year's Brown Zune 30 model, for only $79.99 while the suggested price from Microsoft is $199.99 . Of course you can find it in other places too for less than $100 if you look closer...
From CNN Money : NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It was only half an hour into Black Friday, and a customer at the Toys 'R' Us flagship store in Manhattan's Times Square was already yelling, "The Zunes are done!"
[...] (I'm really bored of this kind of articles where Manuel thinks this, Lucy believes that etc. I'm also bored to c/p them, so read the part deleted in the original article if still interested!) At 5 a.m., when the neon-lit, multi-tiered store parted its gates for the consumer hordes, many of them rushed straight for the video game section. Consumers dashed down the escalators, whooping and hollering like the giddy shopping-mall looters from George Romero's "Dawn Of the Dead." "Nah, nah, chill y'all," a store employee implored to a line of hundreds of customers filing into the video game section, while a song from the Broadway hit "Annie" wailed from the intercom. "It definitely was very hectic in the beginning, due to the Zune being on sale," said Gianni Incontro, an employee based in the corporate headquarters in Wayne, N.J., who was helping out at the Times Square location. Many of the customers were also buying up Nintendo's Wii, a hugely popular video game console that was a big hit among holiday shoppers last year.
