Because they felt like it? Why do you suddenly feel entitled to a credit? Woot has the right to sell this for $14 or $546 if they want to on any day.

Damn this just makes my head hurt.

Bah! Where's the coupon for people who already bought it from you for more? And now they get the travel kit, too. :-(

ok, so what would you rather have? Roomba or Zune? Roseanne or Rosie? Bill or Hillary?

I say I'd rather have a Zune than a Roomba, if I hadn't already gotten an MP3 player (I just need music). The other stuff I'd opt for the neither of the above option.

Info Post for the curious:

These refurbs All Come Packaged Just As a New ZUNE 30 would, with all new headphoones, USB cable, packaging etc.

- PodCasts, both Audio and Video, Will be Supported... Fully!

- The box (typically) has one REURBUSHIED sticker on the lower front of the box, and an easily removed REFURBISHED sticker on the back of the player.

- These ZUNE players are fully compatible with the firmware/software upgrades that Microsoft will be releasing 13 Nov 07.

- The aforementioned upgrades are Free Of Charge... Just Sync your player... You're Upgraded!

- The Zune 30 (the one WOOT is selling here) is made of a highly durable/scratch/smudge resistant material, unlike those players from Cupertino that scratch if you look at them the wrong way.

- Zune Players ARE NOT RockBox compatible, and only fully compatible with computers running MS Windows (Xp/Vista)

- ZUNE players are NOT compatible witn iTUNEs or music purchased on iTunes that are DRM protected, though you can burn those songs to a CD and re-rip them to MP3 or WMA, and they will work.

umm i didn't even think i had mine for 3 weeks yet..

You've misunderstood the overboard comment but I'll agree with you to settle it.

As for the other request. In the past Woot has given credit for quick price drops of this same product. We fail to do so in this case. There is simply not much explanation available.

Woot is a business. They make decisions based on the information they have. I bought a zune a while back from Woot and I don't think they should have to retroactively compensate anyone. Baba booey baba booey howard stern's penis.

i think you misunderstood, he was going for that..he's saying ppl gave woot credit (as in praise) when other products prices dropped, and they aren't happy now..not why isn't woot giving people credit (as in money)..

for far i have spend well over $3000 just buying zune from woot. i need a special discount or something. snort!

but come on woot over $3000 within 2 months is alot.




Hmmm?

If you've bought 9, that would be less than 900.00

NOT 3000.00

snort!, i know its less than 900. but if u read it again. i said within last 2 months i spend over 3000. i bought 9 from vip sale, 3 when they were 150, then from sellout and stuff.

good try, i give u points for trying, snort!.

Realistically...

How much do you really think WOOt is making on these things... NOT MUCH!

This is the Single Greatest DAP Value... EVER!

Buy, and Feel Confident You Brought One Of The Best Media Players Money Can Buy!

Again, I KNOW I'm not entitled to a credit for the price drop. I received 2 Zunes from woot 2 days less than a month ago, and i'm not bitching about the price drop. I've been asking to see if theres any way we can get in on the Travel Pack deal. If they're giving them away for free to those who buy 2 or more, why not us possibly?

It doesn't hurt to ask... Quit bitching at us who could use the travel pack and want to see if theres anything that woot could work out for us.

amazing, my poo poo brown zune has turned into black, white, blue, red, and pink (okay going too far, but i wouldnt use it in public)

$79.99- poo poo zune
$10- 5 skin/accessory packs

not sure what i'll do with so many arms bands, screen protectors, belt clips, etc but nice to have as backup

went up from 0.95 cents to now $6.50 each in a couple days..glad i got all 5 colors

its brown and no one else will know!!

I get the sense woot is feeling the pinch on these. They probably bought a ton of them and they're trying to push them out to make sure they break even on them. Hence the freebies and hence why they offered discounts to previous purchasers when these cost significantly more than they are now.

But in this case, I can't imagine they're making much profit at all off selling these with the freebie accessory pack.

That is math yes, and my number can help their case. But, what also could help is zune related purchases, headphones, transmitters, other stuff?

Ahh yes.... love it

"I saw a funny thing on that somewhere on the net a long while back. About putting an iphone or ipod in a Zune case to disguise it. Pretty darn funny."

The saddest part is that it still wouldn't make the iPod sound half as good as the ZUNE, and it'll do even less to increase the iPods paltry 2.5inch LCD.

is it just me or can we not place orders right now?

if i may .. people ...
lets not flame people .. we all who is getting pissy and aggravated ... pls take it somewhere else ... woot forums are not known for people being a*holes

there are two camps here

1. people who are upset about the price drop ... right in their own sense ... and
2. people who are tellin them th shut up

WE get it woot is a business .. they have to make money .. while they offer us mad prices and deals on a lot of things ... but sometimes people do feel shafted ...

but thats no reason to flame... every one take a DEEP BREATH now

862.44 on Woot so far, this does not include Shirt.woot

88.06 for Sellout.

Okay...help! I meant to order TWO Zunes for presents and only ordered one. So if I order another one, will I not get my travel pack, which negates the purpose of me ordering two? I emailed right away asking how to correct this but the email is floating in purgatory. Any suggestions? Would like to go to bed but want to correct this, if possible.

Your email to service needs to simply request they add another to your order. If they are able to do this (and they should be able to this early) then you will automatically receive the travel pack. There is no chance of being caught in the middle the way the order flow goes on this promotion.

someone help. i cant place an order. always says order not placed for some
reason

What the ...the thing is remanufactured by Microsoft. NOT WOOT. Why should the refurbs on WOOT be any different than any other refurb (rox0rz!) from any other vendors?

The ANSWER: THEY"RE NOT !!!

Well I don't have the time to read through all the pages concerning this Woot, but I have read enough of them to see that there is more than a small number that are a little dismayed over their purchases in the VERY recent past of Zunes at a higher price. I bought 3 of these darn things at the heart stopping low price of 99.99,...not just a regular Woot, but a special offer not offered to those that just check the daily Woot,...but a special page,...a special deal,...top secret,...only for loyal Wooter's. Haha, you got me Woot,..Like a deeply entrenched pit with sharpened bamboo spears dipped in viper venom, covered and camouflaged. I walked right in to that one. As a long time Wooter,..hey even a charter member,(certificate issued) a substantial contributer to Woots bottom line and early defender of Woot in online shopping forums. I feel that my once Woot and warm friend has entered a new realm of corporate sneakery and back room scams. Enjoy your cigar and 100 yr old scotch during your next scam plan at Bill's office in Redmond.

Um, Yeah, hello...

My question is, and I am sure someone else has already asked this one...

Why do they have so many that have been refurbished?

If they are really a quality product, then why are we seeing all the refurbished items over and over AND OVER AANNDD OOVVEERR again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

It's a matter of quantity bud. Apple sells truckloads of refurb (rox0rz!) iPods, people still consider them decent quality (although I tend to consider it a bit overrated). I've had 0 problems with my Zune from woot (it was new).

So you bought it not refurbished? I have purchased a couple things and they have been GREAT- One refurbed, one not. I am not complaining. I am just asking how many times I will be offered the same item, refurbished?
