While it was never a massive success and never really lived up to its full potential, the Zune was a good tiny device that no doubt sold more than it might’ve otherwise had it not been available at dedicated game stores. Now after nearly two years, the media player is being dropped from the one of the US’s largest games retailers.

Citing a lack of customer appeal and their own misplaced anticipation, (perhaps they thought MS would bring some games to the device) Gamestop will no longer be selling the Zune in-store and will only be selling them on the web as long as it takes them to run through their existing inventory. Hmm … hopefully this’ll mean that the on the web store will have some good discounts as its stock gets low ….
