10 Aug 09 Zune HD Pricing and Release date leaked?

Many of you have been impatiently waiting for Microsoft to finally give us some info on the price and release date of the Zune HD. Well like everything else on the Internet, word got out early. A Best Buy worker leaked a few inventory screens showing prices ranging from $220 for the 16GB, to $290 for the 32GB model. That’s a full $100 cheaper than the iPod touch, making it a very agressive move. The database also revealed a “Street date” of September 8th.

With the player supposedly coming out in less than a month, why the hell isn’t Microsoft doing more to get the word out? If this was an iPod we’d know every single detail about it by now. Microsoft really needs to drop this whole grassroots/word of mouth approach they’ve taken, and start doing a real marketing campaign.
