Joy Division Zune hands-on
So we dropped by our old friend Peter Rojas's place (you know, the guy who started this site) -- turns out that since he's a music executive and stuff now, he got himself hooked up with a prototype limited edition Joy Division Zune. (Yeah, the irony in that isn't lost on us.) From the absurdly elaborate pivoting, platform-raising box, to the black fabric wrap (which looked blue to our camera), to the faux-LP liner, to Peter Saville's signature etched in foam, they clearly did Joy Division justice on this one. Which they damn well should have, because in case you couldn't already tell, we're all Joy Division fans around these parts -- which means we'd have the music to load this Zune up, being that the only thing it doesn't have is the back-catalog.[Thanks, Peter!]%Gallery-26209%
Joy Division-themed Zune gets pictured and priced
That 80GB Zune above looks mighty familiar, now doesn't it? At least it does if you checked out our totally wild guess mockup that we created upon hearing of this gem. The limited edition Joy Division-themed Zune has finally been pictured (officially) and priced, with just 500 of 'em to be offered up through the Zune Originals website. Of course, we have no idea how quickly these will (or won't) go, but if you're looking to grab one, we'd have that trigger finger ready to roll on June 17th.
Limited Edition Joy Division Zune makes us dance, dance, dance to the radio
Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Microsoft is said to be releasing a limited edition, Joy Division Zune featuring an adaptation of Peter Saville's pulsating cover art from the band's Unknown Pleasures debut. The launch is meant to parallel the June 10th release of the Joy Division DVD and could, in one fell swoop, lift the Zune above its L-7 image. Then we could go on as though nothing was wrong and hide from these days we remained all alone.P.S. That's our mockup of what we hope the Joy Division Zune will look like.[Via Wired, Thanks Rob H.]
