Looks like the folks on the other side of the pond won’t be seeing Zune’s in time for Christmas after all. Steve Ballmer has made it clear that the Zune won’t be shipping over seas until sometime in 2008. So why the adamant statement? It’s pretty simple, really, MS is still losing money on the Zune and it doesn’t make much sense spending more money when they haven’t even sold one million units. Don’t worry, you’re not missing out on too much. I kid, I kid.
My only guess is they are holding out for Zune 2.0 before having it hit the European marketplace. Sure they lost a few billion dollars – so what, that is pocket change for a company worth over half a trillion.

To me, this doesn’t seem like much of an issue. I live in the UK and bought my Zune off eBay for just £100 ($200).
no suprise
