Not much to say other than, here is another Zune Branded with something. We've had a Halo Zune, 2 dozen Zunes with text and/or graphics from bands/companies i've never heard of, now this. I will admit, the box is pretty nice looking and the graphics on the back are nice too.

PS. I am going to buy a Zune 120 in the next couple weeks. I wanna see one in person so I can feel like I know what I am talking about again.

Huh, what? April Fools Jokes? No. Well, not too sure about one of them.

If you can hop a bus to Tahoe and get their before April 5th, you can ski with Gizmodo readers and have a shot at winning a Custom Gizmodo Zune!

And Brian from the Zune team is coming out with some demo Zunes preloaded with good music to shred to. (I've picked a few tracks, but the Zune team's own music experts are dialing in a playlist, too.) Even better they're giving away a few Zunes with custom drawn Gizmodo logos. Who would have thought this little event would get so much love?

Pretty nice of the Zune Team to sponsor this meetup, eh? Read all about it over at Gizmodo.

What's this crap about Tommy Lee? Is he still alive?
Yep! Dude, I loved him growing up. Ratt, Crue, Maiden... wow... flashbacks. Anyhow, that crazy dude over at IHAVEAZUNE has a pic of Tommy Lee holding what appears to be a Zune. It does look like one, but I can't tell. Let me call Tommy and check.

Cool Huh?

Here is another special edition pink Zune for all of you. This isn't as nice as the Ford Pink Zune, but it's purdy either way.

Nylon Magazine has worked out a deal with Microsoft to offer a limited run of Pink Zunes. This run is limited to 1000.  It also come preloaded with 77 Nylon Magazine covers for backgrounds as well as a couple songs preloaded.

I love how Microsoft offers these special edition models. I am still on the hunt for an Orange Zune 30 and the Yellow Zune 8. Help me out folks!

Nylon Magazine has tuned your Zune! Yes, the style-makers at Nylon have put their own spin on a super limited edition Zune player, available only at Urban Outfitters! Limited to a run of 1000 pieces, this collectible pretty in pink 30GB Nylon Magazine Zune Digital Media Player is silk-screened with graphic bling designed by Nylon Factory Girl Dani Stahl and comes pre-loaded with totally exclusive content. You'll get Nylon TV videos, special mp3s and music videos and a whole library of Nylon cover art! And underneath the customized exterior is the same Zune you know and love, capable of playing music and videos, displaying images, and, unlike other digital media devices, receiving FM radio so you can stay on top of local news, sports, traffic and programming. 30GB of storage means you'll hold 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures or 100 hours of video, all easily enjoyed on a bright 3 inch full-color screen. Even cooler, because Zunes were designed with connectivity in mind, your Zune can wirelessly communicate with other Zune devices (within 30 feet) to share songs and pictures. The Zune experience is powered by software that allows you to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace. It's easy to navigate, easy to use, and unlike anything else out there! Comes packaged with everything you need to get started, all wrapped up in a special Nylon edition gift box. Exclusive content includes:

Now, this is what I am talking about. Some really limited edition Zunes. Only 10. Not sure if that is 10 of each variety or what... Stay Tuned.

Hip hop legend Bun B (of UGK) and elite producer Swizz Beats teamed up to a play a free show at the War Room last Friday night here in Seattle.

We're also partnering with Goods to release an limited edition (only 10 will be sold) Zune.

I did this one last month, but I can't remember if I posted it here...

Again, Zune Team, refer to this post. I want your Citron Zune!

Last week I posted a link to a new Zune offering from Ford. This was a pink special edition Zune. The cool thing is that the proceeds (100% of them) go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Well, I jumped all over this opportunity. A pink Zune and helping a good cause at the same time, what could be better? I got it in today! (ps. Make sure to check out Steve's 16gb Sansa View pictures too!)

There is an unboxing video and couple more pictures after the break.

(more...)

I have been waiting for something like this to buy another MP3 player. Seriously! I have. I want an orange one too. Anyhow, check out this pink Zune!

WIP707 This 30GB Zune has been specially customized for Warriors in Pink!

The Zune digital media player is easy to use and easy to love. Store up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video in your 30 GB device.

This product is a special edition and quantities are limited.

Thanks to the generosity of Ford and Microsoft, 100% of the purchase price of this item goes to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I should get mine by Monday. I just ordered one! Get yours here : Link

Microsoft announced last week that a military exclusive Zune - available exclusively at military retailers- will be available to military personnel and their families at a special discounted price.

Microsoft and the USO gave 300 to a group of soldiers leaving for active duty.

Last month, one of the 1st Pink Zunes made its way to ebay. I almost bid on it, but I knew it was going to be more expensive than I think it?s worth to own part of history. Believe it or not, that auction for 2/100 only went for $761.00. (pictured right)

Recently, someone posted a story claiming that Microsoft employees were given these ?Pink Zunes? and that one of them was selling it on ebay now (pictured left). (Ebay Auction) The fact is, these ?Pink Zunes? are seeded into retail chains. The 1st one on ebay stated that the box pictured the white Zune, but clearly said Pink on the bottom of the box (link), near the UPC. I went to Target and Wal Mart last week to check their stock, obviously, no luck. Anyhow, I wanted to clear the air on this situation before someone has people thinking that Microsoft employees are selling their ?swag?.

If you get yourself a Pink Zune and you don?t want to keep it, I am offering a $500 bounty for one!

In another note, I found a link to a comparison of the Zune vs. iPod on Cnet TV when browsing Gizmodo. This is a nice video, hope you enjoy it. ( See video )
