Floppyhead – Digital Media and Streaming

Sonos is releasing their Soundbridge wireless extender this month (October 24th). It seems like Sonos is always adding nice features like Pandora integration. The Soundbridge 100 will keep you from having to tether a ZP80 or ZP100 to your router. From Automatedhome.com:

So for example you may want to use a new ZoneBridge to plug into your Router, rather than using a ZP100 or ZP80 which may not be required in that room. Of course it could also be used in between two zones that are too far apart to link currently.

I have seen unofficial prices for the Soundbridge around $99 to $150. At that price, you can buy a one ZP80, a controller, and a Soundbridge for under $900. Cheaper than the bundle Sonos offers but still expensive in my eyes. Sonos really needs to offer their bundle for a lower price, somewhere between $600-$700.
