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: http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig1.jpg The contents of the envelope and bag: http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig2.jpg Unboxed: http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig3.jpg 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: http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig4.jpg 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 http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig5.jpg Another shot of the Zune: http://home.roadrunner.com/~a.baez/zuneorig6.jpg 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.
