Buy Songs For Zune With Microsoft Points
September 29th, 2006 by Kevin Cortez in Business
Microsoft’s brand new portable media player, called Zune, will be accepting Microsoft Points for purchasing Zune songs. Microsoft Points will be available via retailers and the Xbox Live Marketplace. The price of each song you can purchase is 79 Microsoft Points, which is the equivalent of 99 cents, which is also the exact price of a song that could be purchased on iTunes.
The Zune will launch on November 14, 2006 with a $249.99 price tag. It is unsure at the time if the Xbox360 will be able to communicate with Microsoft’s Zune media player, but with the Microsoft Points system being used, it may be possible.

The only reason I chose a Zune over iPod is if they didn’t have the damn DRM crap… Are Zunes “DRM infected”?

Is anything released from a major company NOT DRM Infected?
I mean, it’s logical reasoning why they would try, but the implication is just stupid.
