Happy Valentine's Day from the Zune Team

To celebrate Valentine's Day*, there's a promotion on Zune.net: give Zune as a gift (or just keep it for yourself), and you'll get a free pair of Zune Premium Earphones.

Also, you can find some cool downloadable art that the graphic design team made. For your Zune wallpaper:

  

And finally, the ZMP editorial team programmed some Valentine's day playlists:  Hip hop Valentine, Punk Valentine, and more.

* Yes, I know today is the Seventh of February, and that Valentine's day isn't for another week.

Where'd the third wallpaper go?  I sent the link to my other computer to download it later, and now I see that it's gone. :/

Rawk on Cesar, thanks for linking to my little earbud review. I'm flattered. :)

is it just me but i'm having a hard time finding stuff in the marketplace (besides that i could search). it took me pretty long time to figure out that the hip hop valentine playlist is on the main page. dont you agree that zune marketplace needs updates and position occasional playlists like these much better? i really miss URGE for updating their pages every week with new stuff and new playlists (not to mention how i miss the radio). seriously, i think that i'm losing interest in the marketplace cuz its just plain boring to me. where did the exploring idea of it go? i miss URGE (screw DRM). is anybody working for serious behind the marketplace?

Wow, some solid content on Zune.net.  This is great.  I like the playlists idea more of this type of thing please.

Heyzeus

Damn, the Zune IS punk rock, man.

Microsoft put Screeching Weasel on their Punk Valentine playlist. I would have never thought MS would ever include this band on any promos.

thanks for the heads up, just ordered the wife a white Zune.  Can two Zunes use the same software? and same Zune Pass if I decided to get it?

segadc

One of your Zune's will have to be a guest.  You can also sync anything you buy from the marketplace on that guest Zune.  Someone correct me if I am wrong. ;)
