All Zune models not named 'Zune HD' on the outs

Microsoft guru Paul Thurrott of SuperSite for Windows fame has read the writing on the wall. According to the reps he spoke with, production has ceased on all Zune models before the upcoming Zune HD. In other words, when supplies run out, Zune 4, 8, 16, 80, and 120 are as good as dead, with only this year's model left standing. Shed a tear for the old guard, and keep an eye out for what we're hoping will be some pretty sweet sales as everyone tries to clean out stock.

Looks like Microsoft's Zune project is starting to fail even more now. After having seen the new upcoming Zunes the hired talent is abandoning this sinking ship quick.

It's going to be fun seeing the long lines of disappointed fanboys at the Best Buy returning their Zune HDs.

Does this mean we'll be seeing heavily discounted Zone 120's on Woot! anytime soon?
