Default SPECIAL EDITION ZUNE! Gears of Wars2!
Wow this thing looks sick!



Microsoft couldn't let the gory, highly-anticipated launch of Gears of War 2 (chainsaw duels! Rhhhahaararggg!) pass without bloodying a Zune or three in the process, Halo 3-style. Specifically, Microsoft has laser-etched that pesky little "Crimson Omen" onto a glossy black Zune 120, pre-loaded the device with 244 pieces of "Gears of War" media -- the soundtrack, concept art, behind-the-scenes vids and so forth, nothing you won't be able to find elsewhere -- and squeezed it all into some "collectible" Gears packaging, featuring our testosterone-addled protagonist pondering the meaning of life. The whole kit will run you $280, with pre-orders at Walmart.com and Amazon.com (and a whole mess of Canadian shops) starting at midnight tonight. It'll start shipping on November 7th. And still can't sync to your Xbox. Close-ups after the break.

Update: Looks like that that's midnight PDT, 3am for us east coasters.

Not a big Gears of War fan, but it still looks cool regardless.

I have the 80 and I want it! But practically, No, I wouldn't spend another $280. But if I were looking for a zune, this would definitely be my first choice

I so want that. That looks freakin awesome. I doubt I would have the money though, unless some one wants to buy a used Zune 80 with ZuneOriginals engraving

Looks great... but they could have done a little bit more of it, like a different color, or something.

Orange...

If my 80 ever breaks I'd rather get the Halo 3 edition Zune 30 or just wait until a CoD 4/ CoD 5 zune was made.

Naw, i wouldn't buy this. Why would i want to support Epic, the company that refuses to bring GoW2 to PC? Awful decision, killer for a hardcore PC gamer like me.

Yeah, but PC has crysis and consoles don't.
