Woot is selling a 30 GB Microsoft Zune for just 100$ , The package is pictured above.

You are not at woot.
Well, not exactly, anyway.

You know Woot as the site that sells one product per day, cheap. But this isn’t exactly Woot. This is a special super-secret page we set up to get our family and friends off our backs about these things (hi mom!); we’re tired of entering manual orders. Your order here will be processed and shipped like any other order with Woot.

You’re here because you seem like the kind of discriminating, savvy consumer who can be flattered into dropping some cash with us. If you’re tempted to sneak a few of your lowlife pals in the back door, remember: that’s a really nice computer you have there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it. (Ok, no, we won’t be breaking your computer. And yes, you can sneak your lowlife pals in, but make sure they follow the dress code.)

This page might be an indication that the Microsoft Zune 2.0 is just around the corner.
