Microsoft is quite clear on the Zune Insider blog that this price drop has absolutely no correlation to a certain event taking place tomorrow, but there’s still a whole heaping helping of irony that the Zune is getting a price slash on the very day Apple is ostensibly outing brand new iPods. As of tomorrow you can pick up a brand new Zune anywhere you choose for a mere $199. That is, of course, if you can’t manage to score one for a whole lot cheaper elsewhere.
