I must say that's quite tempting!
should i sell my archos 605 for it?
can u change the wallpaper for zune's? if not how is this that tempting? i mean you can print a piece of paper with that picture on it and upload the pic to make it the background.. and all you dont get is a skull on the back of the Zune which would have people mistake you for " EMO " everytime they see it.
I reckon it looks cool, and its not a bad idea doing something like this on a companies product, but Gears of War 2 meets 120 gb Zune?
and please spare me the apple fanboy flaming... i dont mind apples nano and touch but everything else is fkn ridiculously priced and overhyped..
Yes, you can change background on the Zune. But it's not just a fancy background and laser-etched skull.
"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"
For Gears of War lovers, I'm guessing this would be stuff to crave for. All preloaded on a nice PMP. It would be cool if they had a Gears of War game for Zune...
Yeah, definitely tempting - too bad I just bought another PMP about a week ago.
why is the zune still so ugly and plain? (if it were sexy I would buy one)
teh zune sux
Cole Train is on the side of the box! I must get it NOW!
that kinda looks like Carmine between Cole and Fenix! if only it were true...
If I didn't have an 80gb already, I would debate that one.
same here...
I really like the box :D.
I think I might get it just for the logo on the back.
Godammit that what they say about those other MP3 players.
That thing is freaking sweet! Maybe I'll if the Great Pumpkin reads my letter I'll get this for Halloween!
wow that looks really nice. I might have a reason to get rid of my old 30 gig Zune now.
Hm....I like my Chisato Shinya print on my 8gb a lot more...I'd feel like there was an ad on the back of my zune or something with that thing. On the other hand, I am looking forward to Gears of War 2.
that thing freakin sucks. yuck. It looks like its from the 1900's...oh wait its a zune..they all look like that..woops.
Making fun of the Zunes is from the 1900s, too.
Grow up.
Technically neither existed in the 1900s so both of your talking points are worthless
i smell jealousy. ipod fanboy crying he doesnt have all the features of the zune. suck it.
That Zune needs to be in my hands playing death metal at viciously high volumes...
gonna beat you to it, just pre-ordered it!!!! SFU (six feet under)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by the way, got an 80gb for sale now!!!
she's a looker
too bad it cant play the game
I already have a 80GB, but DAMN, WHERE DO I PRE-ORDER THIS?!!
Opps, didn't read the midnight part.
Just gonna have to wait. 20 more mins!
That is the sexiest thing I have seen all day.
Wow. I need a girlfriend...
"Specifically, Microsoft has laser-etched that pesky little "Crimson Omen" onto a glossy black Zune 120, pre-loaded the device with "Gears of War" media, nothing you won't be able to find elsewhere -- and squeezed it all into some "collectible" Gears packaging"
Just your typical Anti-Zune Engadget article..
I dont even like Gears but damn that looks sick.
Only some emo chicks are hot.
What the hell?
If I didn't own a 120 already, I might have been tempted. =P
That's some really nice box art!
WoW...... I'm a apple/ipod touch/Iphone 3g fanboy/user and i want that zune. I LOVE GEARS!
Calling it now, special Halo Wars Zune.
God i hope so...
I didn't get the Halo 3 one only becuase I did not have the money, but i like the Zune 2 (NeoZune, NEw Zune, Zune 2.o, whatever the heck you call it) MUCH better, and wished the Halo 3 edition was on it.
*sighs*
This Gears one is hot though
very nice indeed!i want one as well lol, and i have the 80
*Drool*
Not a fan of Gears of War but the emblem is sweet as hell. It's worth getting just to have that on the back of a Zune.
Oh I want one of these so much.
Somebody please make a Mac app for the Zune! Please!
Wow, glad I decided to wait til Christmas to get a new 120GB Zune. I'm DEFINITELY gonna get this edition. Gonna look great next to my Halo 3 Zune :)
I hate you....
No not really, just envious ^_^
Ill wait for the Bioshock 2 version.
I would actually get this if I wasnt so happy with my 80. Actually, if I wasnt happy with the 80, I wouldnt be with the 120 since they are the same player. Damn Microsoft for updating my Zune, now I dont have an excuse to get this one...
Now that's sexy!!!
(in Marcus Phenix voice) Niiiiiice!
can't go wrong with laser etching! it would also be sweet if they re-released the Halo 3 edition for the current generation zunes.
I am totally getting this!
Sweeeeeet. I was planning to get a zune in november, im totally getting this one!
Oh, for god's sake. Come on Microsoft, cut the special edition crap and put out a Red 120 already.
Not to say that this device isn't fantastic looking, but seriously now.
wow, all that and it doesn't play games. Correction. It doesn't play games WORTH playing.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't really like the zune, but that is freakin' sweet!!
GoW ftw.
