New LE Joyal Division Zune [Is that a Black Back?]

[ACE]

If you've got the dough to shell out nearly $400, then you could get your hands on one (out of 500) of these Limited Edition Joyal Division Zune 80 from Zune Originals starting June 17th. It will honor the DVD release of Joy Division, a much-anticipated documentary chronicling the life of the influential but short-lived Brit post-punkers which will be preloaded into the special edition player.

"Joy Division and Peter Saville share a story full of innovation," Tom Atencio, producer of the Joy Division documentary, told SPIN.com. "The band made history with their pioneering digital music. Peter Saville placed the music and the band in a visual context equally as innovative. It is completely in character for the film to be a debut Zune preload."



"Zune's involvement with the Joy Division documentary is a way of saying 'Thank You' to the band for doing what they did, and is not only a tribute to them but to an entire musical journey through Factory Records and the artists and movements it spawned," Chris Stephenson, GM Global Marketing, Zune, told SPIN.com. "It's a tribute to deep respect for graphic design that lives on through artists like Peter Saville, and to independent film-makers that believe in more than just commercial success. Ultimately it's a tribute to the self-belief and self-expression that inspires true authentic art."

On a side note, is that a black backing to the black Zune 80 with silver engraving (as opposed to the regular silver backing with black engraving)?? Discuss!

A zune comming out for a limited time for just a documentary.....wow..black back too.
If they can fix their software then it is maybe worth it but it doesn't look like 4 honeys unless it is a yellow version with a yellow back with black engravings.
p.s. it would have been better with gold engravings on the black back too so it will be like gold cause saying gold is better than saying silver.

I don't know if you're using 2.5 or not but I think the software is pretty good now that they fixed a lot of things.
The black back is pretty cool, although I would like to see more colors for the front too.

I think that it looks amazing. It only makes the 80 look sleeker and more refined,

A Coldplay one would be awesome, with the same concept, except the album art for A Rush of Blood to the Head.. probably not, but I can dream =|
