Microsoft Zune HD goes on sale in the US from 15th September, i.e. next week. However, if you live somewhere outside the US, you might have to wait a little more longer for the Zune HD.

Ars has reports that Microsoft does not have any plans ( for now) to sell Microsoft Zune HD outside the US.

For the time being the Zune HD device will remain US only. Right now we are focused on deploying an exciting service in the form of Zune Video to 18 markets. We are looking at potential future hardware experiences for these markets, but do not have anything to announce right now.

Apple announced new iPod Touch models, reduced prices for iPod Touch and iPod Nano , iPhone OS 3.1 and released iTunes 9 during the recently concluded Rock and Roll event. Apple might have failed to impress the audience with its lineup of products, but Microsoft doesn’t seem to be behind.

In my opinion, if Microsoft doesn’t do the catch up fast as far as their global rollout plans are concerned, they might be risking too much of money, especially when Microsoft Zune HD has succeeded in creating far more excitement than the original Microsoft Zune.

What’s your take on this entire development?
