New Zune Tied to Post-Punk Band Joy Division

Sunday July 20, 2008
Microsoft is known for sometimes releasing limited edition Zune portable media players which are tied to something musical. Its latest player is just such the case - the Zune 80 Joy Division, priced at around $400.

The Zune 80 Joy Division is a typical 80GB Zune portable media player, loaded with the same features found on the more common version of this model. This particular edition ups that commonality, coming pre-loaded with the documentary Joy Division. This film "chronicles the story of the seminal post-punk band via firsthand accounts from the surviving band members and those who worked closely with them during their brief but highly influential existence."

Five hundred of these limited edition players are available. They can be further distinguished by the artwork of Peter Saville etched on the back. They are available now until supplies run out.
