I'd be surprised if it was free forever. In fact, they say it is temporary, not permanent..

i beleive what is free about it is the zune original period. prob a marking and a special offer for first buyers and loyal customers of Gen2. it'll prob repeat every year but with something else.

re: Zune Originals Unboxing

Received mine (8GB model, Black) from Zune Originals yesterday, so I've only had a full day to tinker with it.  The player was very attractively packaged, I was impressed as well.  Truth be told the engraving options were really what tipped the scale for me - I'll be picking up a few more as xmas gifts for friends, I think.  I chose a smaller piece of artwork and had some text engraved as well - And didn't rec'v a poster with the player as you've shown, so I suspect those only come with the full size engravings.  Not sure.

Setup was a snap and I've really come to like the Zune Pad the more I use it.  I'm actually most impressed with the built in radio - I didn't expect it to work as well as it does. I'd give it a recommendation to anyone looking for a player.

Can you post a picture of the poster? I got a full-size zune originals piece as well (one of the Takahashi graphics), but I'm curious to see how the color Tado poster looks.

My brown Zune30 is still running strong, but I'm tempted by the 80 as I'm almost at capacity right now, and the art looks sweet as hell!!

I totally and completely agree with you!

Are you waiting for the Original, or are you just getting any 80 you can find?

I received the Zune Original 8MB I ordered last Tuesday today, direct from China. I was quite surprised at how nice the entire package was. Took some pictures below for those on the fence wondering whether to pick one up or not.

 

The box when you open it. Included a color poster of the artwork you selected from the Zune Originals site:

The contents of the envelope and bag:

Unboxed:

The Zune close up, the red color is almost maroon, which is different than what I expected from photos I saw. It's a very deep nice color though:

The backside of the Zune with detail of the etching, I picked the Tado etching even though it's a bit cutesy. My first choice, the Takahashi city graphic, is not available on the Originals site for some reason (http://www.coolhunting.com/images/originals_artists-16.jpg). Can one of the mods tell the higher ups at MS to look into that? :P

Another shot of the Zune:

Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase. This will be a nice step up from my six year old second generation ipod (which I love and is still going strong, but it was time to update). The etchings make your player somewhat unique, and the whole presentation was quite unexpected.

 

 

 

That looks awesome. i cant wait until the 80gb is available to get mine
