Microsoft cuts price of Zune by $50

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. slashed $50 from the price of its Zune digital media player Wednesday, the same day Apple Inc. was expected to unveil additions to its market-leading iPod line.

The 30-gigabyte Zune now costs $199, the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker said on its Zune Insider blog.

“It’s part of the normal product life cycle, something we’ve had on the books for months,” wrote Cesar Menendez, a Microsoft employee and Zune Insider blogger.
