Default Joy Division Limited Edition Zune

Article-
Quote:
Hey, who wants a Zune? Anybody? Anybody? OK, fair enough.

But what if said Zune were limited edition? Aaaaaand emblazoned with the artwork from Joy Division's classic Unknown Pleasures LP? (No, the image over there isn't what it looks like, just Pitchfork's own artist's rendition.) And the whole thing is a tie-in with the DVD release of Grant Gee's Joy Division documentary?

In conjunction with Genius Entertainment's June 10 release of the Joy Division DVD, Microsoft will indeed issue a run of Zunes all done up in Peter Saville's famed design. Saddest mp3 player ever!

In other Joy Division merchandise news, Rhino will issue a single-disc best-of from the masters of mope on April 29 in the U.S. Oh, and Control, that other recent Joy Division flick, is due on DVD June 3 from the Miram Collection/The Weinstein Company.

Though I have never heard of this band before, I am still excited to hear more special edition zunes are releasing.

Wow, Microsoft is ridiculous. If only they would take the time spent making all the special editions and used it to improve the software.

Agreed. I've never heard of this band. The pattern is interesting, though.

Joy Division was an English punk band who are known for bringing the synth to punk. Kind of lost legends.

They actually got pretty electronic, which is funny because the lead singer had epilepsy.

I'm really excited for these. I really do agree with Camel though. The software still is a bit lacking...

I'm sure they're are completely different departments doing this and they are putting all their time trying to improve the software.

On topic: They only changed the colors of the middle button, heh. Looks worst in my opinion.

It doesn't really matter. The opportunity cost that results from all these special editions is still incurred.

Wow.. sounds like some cool stuff. I know I'd definitely shell out the extra cash if they had limited edition zunes.

I would point out that Joy Division was the predecessor of New Order...but then I realized that many would have the same reaction's they did initially..."Who?"
