That's pretty sweet. I actually never bothered with the Zune Pass, nor was I aware that the UK didn't have it.
With the addition of Zune on WP7 and, this will be a possible way for people to ignore carrying their iPods around with their phones (though, so is the notPhone).
My only thing is with the Xbox 360. It will allow streaming, but will it allow music to be stored on the HDD and played from the Zune as well, or will it look up what songs I have in my PC collection and let me play them without having to stream it?
Also, will it track play counts? This isn't a big deal, but some people care a LOT about it.

MS took the strange decision to never release the Zune outside the US. I had one imported about 3 years ago, and it was great, but being shut out of buying stuff was crap
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.

@cubs223425 My bet is that the Xbox 360's Zune functionality will be similar to Last.FM and the Zune.net streaming service.
That's just going by the very brief Kinect demo they showed at E3 though.
