If you were one of people who inexplicably bought a Zune, Microsoft’s answer to the iPod, and have been waiting patiently in the wings for the device to reach out there and grab a huge chunk of the market share, that moment is definitely possibly probably not right around the corner. But here’s something that might make you smile, anyway.

Starting this week, you’ll be able to purchase episodes from NBC’s catalogue, like Office, 30 Rock and Heroes from the Zune Marketplace. You may remember back in August, there was a big stink between Apple and NBC over the distribution of shows over iTunes…NBC wanted to be able to sell their programs at flexible prices (like up to $4.99 a pop), and Apple wanted to stick with the $1.99 pricetag, like every other studio is doing. In retaliation, NBC pulled its content from iTunes completely.

So, history lesson aside, you can get NBCU shows on Zune Marketplace (all currently priced at $1.99, though that’s subject to change in the contract). So, if you’re like me, you’re ready to throw your iPhone out the window and pick up one of those slick looking Zunes…but wait, dear reader, there’s more. According to this story over at sister site Apple Gazette, apparently NBC content is now available in the iTunes UK store. So it could be just a matter of time until all is right with the world again.
