From Zunerama forums (thanks Apallohadas)

Hello Zune Wooters,

Thank you for supporting the amazing new social ecommerce entertainment web community 2.0...er, well, thanks for picking up the cheap Zune deal at Woot.com the other day. We hope you are enjoying it as much as we enjoy your cash. We have some updates just for you:

First, as many of you may have heard yesterday, your Zune woot just got better - Microsoft will offer automatic software upgrades to improve the functionality and feature set of the Zune(s) you own. Yes, you heard correctly - Microsoft. Early-adopter support. Whoa. You can be assured that Woot staff will stay tuned and report the amazing developments in this area-for now, we're consolidating all previous Zune threads to the latest sale here. Please share any information you have with the rest your fellow new Zune owners there. There's a nice Zune news roundup post here.

Second... shhh... don't tell anyone! We have a limited quantity of official factory-refurbished black Zunes (now aka Zune 30's) to offer effective immediately. Our elite strikeforce of pirate-tongued, ninja-trained negotiation commandos worked their powers of persuasion to obtain every single official factory-refurb Zune 30. No, no blackmail, extortion, or coercion was involved (as far as we know). The point is, you won't see these anywhere else. These units are Microsoft-certified with full accessories, full warranty and even factory fresh retail packaging. And - in an ironic twist you're sure to enjoy - you get the scoop first. In fact, as a previous buyer, we're notifying only you (and your fellow Zune buyers) of a VIP behind-the-scenes event prior to their hopeful full day in the Woot sun: http://www.woot.com/special.aspx?k=vipzune. Slide on in past the velvet rope - these units are available immediately on a first-come, first-served basis at $99.99 each + $5 shipping. Sneak a friend or two in if you want - this is indeed an exciting chance to join the Zune in-crowd, but please, no "Welcome to the Social" jokes. (Unless you're as good at satire as fake steve jobs, that is.) We'll hold this sale open for as long as we can, but as with most Woot items (infocus projectors aside), quantity is limited.

Hey, cheapskates: don't forget your credit! Some of our own "early adopters" may have missed our follow-up Zune event, Open Letter spoof and all. Make no mistake, though, all buyers at $149 have real $10 credits on their accounts, ready to use on any sale over $40. Your discount code is BUMPYROAD. (Before you ask, yes, it will work on the VIP Zune sale, 2 magnums of Polyphemus, 3 yet-to-be-reckoned Woot tees, or anything else you can find that we sell for more than $40.)

On a final note, I've been asked to forewarn our newest members that the shop may be a bit busy on Friday - not to tip you Wooters Off or anything...

Thanks for your support,

Matt Rutledge
Woot CEO

woot.com is a straight shooter.

as an amendment to this, i find myself increasingly amused over the fact that dell was selling zunes for 104 (five more dollars than the offer woot's currently presenting), and the only reason they did so was because of an error on the website.

small and humble internet electronics distribution company: 1

crappy mega-giant electronics nazi with customer support that starts and ends with a 1800 number directing you to a pleasant sounding hindu man named brian pinto that keeps seemingly telling you about his broken lawnmower: 0

ok...so it is legiminate.  Smiley Is it in good condition when it arrives? And when it says "full warranty," does it mean that if the product is messed up, i can send it back and get it fixed/ get a new one? (if last question is true, who do i send it to?)

I sold my brown zune about a month ago, in anticipation of getting an ipod touch or zune 2. I was sold on getting a zune 2 with the announcement, but damn, $99 is a tempting price to pick that item up at, considering i sold my old one for $150. Now I dunno if I should just re-get zune30 or wait til the new zune80. I like the touch pad on the 80, and i like how it's now MUCH smaller and less brick like. Hmm decisions decisions

Yes the full warranty on these is through Microsoft.  It's for 1 year and covers everything that would be covered on the retail models in stores.
You register the zune through the software and if you have issues you call the zune support line.

From the pics I actually prefer the zune gen 1 design, I actually dont have a zune yet just an ipod nano and was planning on getting v-moda vibes today but now.. i may have to change my mind. Although I really wish I could get the brown one but beggars cant be choosers and for 99 dollars I cant complain.
