Microsoft to sell gears 2 Zune

All in all it's not that surprising that Microsoft would not give this second outing. This seems to be an obvious choice to push the Zune more. The first time was with Halo three the most anticipated shooter for the 360 that year. Now the Gears of War two Zune will be on the 120gb model. You will be able to pick it up at Amazon on October 1st for $280.00. With the large cult following that the Gears of war series has, this only makes sense to introduce it. This news is also coming on the heals of the new 3.0 software update that has been very positively received.

The new update now introduced quite a few things this go around. Some things are small little fixes like adding the much demanded clock, also with the ability to tag songs you hear on the radio so you can buy them from the zune store later. That and they have introduced games as well. Only time will see how well it will sell and if the Zune can rise to be a serious competitor to the ipod.

For the full story Endgadget has all the news.
