Best Buy screen shots reveal Zune HD pricing

The Zune HD has appeared in some pictures already and some lucky people have gotten the chance to play around with it. Unfortunately, the pricing and availability date still remain a mystery, but it looks like we are taking one step forward to clearing that up. A few Best Buy inventory leaks are quick to reveal pricing and availability date on the Zune HD 16 GB model as well as the Zune HD 32 GB model. It will be up to Microsoft or Best Buy to confirm this rumor. Based on the images, the 16GB Zune HD will be on sale for $220, while the 32GB model will be on sale for $290.

The whole idea is for Microsoft to make the Zune HD pricing competitive with the iPod Touch pricing. So if these prices are true, it does align correctly. Now for the release date. On each of the images, it says “Street Date” and September 8 is listed. Such a date does agree with the Fall release explained by Microsoft upon the initial announcement of the device.

Again this is just a rumor, but the pricing, availability date, and image do look pretty good.
