I love the idea of the "custom" back. Here’s hoping you can upload and get one of your own pieces on there. Does anyone know if you can get different backs and change them out? I don’t know too much about it.
You know, they really should offer the ability to purchase "gift certificates" for this. I would love to give one to my daughter, but this is all about personalization and she should be creating her own Zune, not me.
I would suggest you break out work or a fancier program and design your own gift certificate. Then let your daughter design her own, and then you place the order. I’ve gone that route in the past for my family. They all seemed to love it.
I do think a gift card would be a great idea, because you are right, its a personal choice.
@ Hefavitzen: I do freelance graphics on the side. Not that it woudl be too hard for you to do, but I would be more than happy to put something together for you if you would like. Just something I like to do and keeps me busy. (no charge of course)
I think they’re taking a play out of the Ipod playbook with this one (the limited color selection that is). If you think about it, more people are going to have the smaller, less expensive ones, so customization will be at a higher demand. I think both Apple and MS feel that if anyone wants the 80 glorious gigs (or whatever Apple’s highest GB is for the video Ipod) they’ll be fine with whatever color is available.
hey Chris, on a side note, will the 30 something backgrounds I uploaded, and the news I submitted through thru Contact us link be favorable toward the 8gb zune contest?
i have already ordered a plain zune 80 but would really love to see on of these being unboxed and i saw the plans of you reviewing yours which i really look forward too! so please hurry up with it haha
this is one of the reasons i like the zune becaus you can customize it to fit your lifestyle and personality. i personally also love that the back is so much more fingerprint and scratch resistant then the ipod classic becaus i had one for about a month and i liked my nano better so i ordered the zune instead
I’m ordering my zune original today. It took me more than 1 week to decided on the final tattoo that I want on the back. Why don’t we have a poll on which design looks the best ? I know that it is a matter of personal taste but lets do it just for the heck of it

Totally agree. Would mean more to that person.

Finnaly…Its a shame they didnt include new colors, i dont like the idea of havint the same color as everyone else..
Now I wish I had waited to get my new Zune!!
Well, maybe not…but I really like the personalized ones!!
the site is running slow right now. They must be getting slammed.
The “iosefatu sua” design has to be new. I love it.
i think its a good idea to have one solid color!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop a line. I have ordered a Zune 80GB Original. Be on the lookout for a full unboxing and review when it arrives!
Really nice to see that they released these.
A shame I live in Canada. Really looking forward to ordering one of these.
Nonetheless, they should still at least allow non-US IPs to browse the site…there should be no reason for me having to use a proxy.
Sweet. I like that alot. I want one so much.
