Microsoft introduced the third generation Zune two months ago and rolled out the 3.1 update today, but electronista has just confirmed that the Zune is dropping in price. How much you ask?

All these prices should go into effect tomorrow, Wednesday, as the iPod vs Zune wars heat back up. The 4GB Zune is tempting now.
