1st off, without ever having read a single thing on this… it’s sound stupid. Gamestopish… Pay a lot for a game and trade it in for pennies on the dollar. I am not much into that model. Let’s see if this Zune Trade in stuff is similar. Nevelle at Inside the Circle shares some idea…

In May, Zune Scene reported on the coming of a Zune trade-in program. Yesterday, after calling in to assess all options available to repair my brother’s Zune, it appears the program exists. I call it a Zune Allowance Rebate System (Zunes for Zuners maybe?), they called it a trade-in option. Offered through Zune Phone Support (1-877-438-9863) the program allows you to trade-in your current Zune for a different capacity Zune device, at a discounted price. If you still need to exchange your Zune for the same capacity device you can still do that for free within your warranty period. According to one support representative the program has been available for a few months. All devices purchased though this program carry a one-year warranty. Inspired by the Zune Scene article, I made a table reflecting the current retail prices and the discount one might expect through the Zunes for Zuners program.

Doesn’t look worthwhile to me. I’d rather give my old Zune to someone needy and pay full price.
