>Are consider to buy a Music Player? Good news for you  Zune has just getting a price cut again.  Right now, customers can get the 16GB Zune HD for about $162.54 at Wal-Mart. Just FYI,  it regularly retails at a price of $199 before. This price will make a good competition between Zune and iPod Touch which has higher price with an equal amount of memory.  I guess if this price cut effets the market maybe Apple will follow Zune to cut iPod Touch’s price soon.
