THE DEVICE THE ANCIENTS SPOKE OF IN THEIR PROPHECIES! BEHOLD THE CORPSE OF THE IPOD SLAYER!

Found a refurbished 30GB Microsoft Zune, still sealed in the box with all the accessories PLUS a Zune Media Dock that will allow me to connect the Zune to a TV or stereo system, at a garage sale this morning for $5.

FIVE DOLLARS.

I'm really excited to charge this sucker and see how it works! From everything I heard back in the day, it really could have been an iPod Slayer if it had come from anybody but Microsoft and if it had come out just a year earlier. By the time Microsoft got this device in stores, Apple had already saturated the market with iTunes and made it the industry standard.

(Not unlike how Apple computers are better than PC's but Microsoft has already saturated the market with Windows - CALLING ALLANIS MORRISETT, WE GOTS SOME IRONY HERE!)

Hey now. I've got a GIANT (30GB), old Zune that's still chugging away and not even close to being filled. It never leaves my car and has been a pretty trusty little music player for me. I think you got a good deal!
