4.0 out of 5 stars Great Device, Wish I would have waited, January 11, 2009

By	Marty A. Jones (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this Zune. As a fan of Joy Division and their descendant New Order, I couldn't wait to buy it when it was released. While I have a low numbered unit (#35) I paid over $350 for it from the Zune Store thinking, incorrectly, that with only 500 units world wide they would sell out quickly. Now nearly 7 months later it looks like Microsoft sold their remaining stock to Amazon to unload. Oh well, it is a fine device and the presentation is awesome; the photos do not do it justice. Another bonus is this version is the only way to get an all black Zune. The other models have a stainless steel back. Not a big deal, but it does make it look better.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a steal!, August 16, 2009

By	M. Winslow (Taylor, Mi USA) - See all my reviews

This Zune works flawlessly and on top of it a limited edition 80gb for under $200 when I bought it!

Has a documentary of Joy Division on it as well. If you're a fan of Joy Division like I am be sure to get this.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Buyer's Remorse Here, May 15, 2009

By	Immaculate Friend "Maisie's Dad" (N. California) - See all my reviews

I had a Creative Labs Zen MP3 player and was extremely happy with it but lost it on a business trip and was heartbroken. Sorrow turned to joy when I found out about this. Joy Division is one of my very favorite bands and this is a great integration of technology and memorabilia. It still is a lot of money to drop at once but once I received it, I realized it was a worthwhile purchase. It is such a nice looking unit and it has a great interface and sound.

The pre-loaded documentary is top notch and I remain highly entertained by it no matter how many times I watch it. I was lucky with my timing in that I caught it at a very reasonable price but even at this price point, Joy Division fans can do much worse in the way of memorabilia.
