Microsoft has set an official release date for the Zune HD.
The 16GB and 32GB will be available on September 15th throughout the US. This has been confirmed on the Amazon website and with my local Best Buy.
You can see the release dates listed here in the screenshot taken from the Zune HD listings on Amazon…
As for Best Buy, it sounds like they will be issuing tickets on September 15th to the first 50 to 100 customers. Each Best Buy will have different quantities of the Zune HD, so you may want to get there early if you plan on getting one in-store.

Ok, what’s with Microsoft announcing the Zune HD, but not giving us a release date? They’ve officially said, “Fall of 2009″…which really doesn’t help us at all! Now for the release date rumors…
There are some rumors floating around that the Zune HD will be available on store shelves September 5th. This rumor is said to be verified by a Microsoft representative, but as with all rumors…it’s entirely possible that nobody knows including Microsoft.
For now, we will have to wait for an official release date for the Zune HD, but if you hear or see anything…please add a comment to this post.
Thanks for reading!
yeah I hate it when these corporations don’t tell us when we can expect their new product!
David,
I totally agree…just a big tease by microsoft to drum up talk.
If you hear anything or see anything about a possible release date, let me know
from the website zunited.com said it is to be released September 8th.
Alec,
Thanks for the info…it looks like Microsoft is bouncing around the idea of a “Labor Day” launch, which would be smart.
ZUNE HD is an awesome product. I am really looking forward to it.
Thanks for the post
