Adult Swim Zune Box: "IS/WAS YOUR FRIEND"

Ok, my friend/co-worker is back from the Adult Swim event and let me have a peak at the Adult Swim Zune, so I snapped a few pictures. First up, here's the box:

 

Once out of the box, the device actually looks like what's pictured here:

with nothing on the back. Hope everybody had a great weekend!

Hi team, do you have anything to add about the new zune device or new wi-fi scenarios.

This is really cool I love the box!! I also hope this is the signs of things to come with video/Adult Swim content coming to the marketplace.

I love that this blog keeps us uptodate with the Zune news without every trying to spin it like other "official blogs" do. When I read something here I know its fact.

Keep up the great work!!

red - nothing to add, other than to say - it's important to recognize the difference between hypothetical/potential and official :)

They're selling them cheap because they want to get them out the door as fast as possible and ship new ones...

I can't wait to have some adult swim content...I also hope that the feature firmware (if there ever will be one) will actually include video sharing so I can send videos from one zune to another without limitations.

Look at the iridescent genius of those letters! *drool*

Those guys who designed the Zune and the packaging did one HECK of a job. This is the kind of thing that can lead consumers to choose one product over the other. And as a design student, it's work like that, that makes me want to try my luck in package design. Sweet stuff right there.

Lets hope today we will hear some new features for our current Zunes. :)

Preloaded content is great until your Zune deletes it on you during (I am guessing) one of the many forced restarts you will have to do! (Yes I am bitter that I lost all my preloaded content somehow the night I got it trying to load the software and snyc the stupid thing!)

Lara - awesome! I think package design is really interesting; you should definitely look into it.

Jaded - http://zunerama.com/forum/index.php?topic=1426.0 will help you get your preloaded content

Cesar,

I just wanted to let you know I think what you do for the Zune is awesome. Thier are so many people out there that automatically dis the Zune even though they know nothing about it. I think it's great that you are trying to prove how great this device truly is. I have been a fan of the Zune since I first heard about it. And when I actually got my Zune nothing could pull me apart from it. I am glad that people like you are out there trying to show that this  truly is an amazing mp3 player and deserves to be number one! I hope you continue supporting the Zune and letting everyone know how great the Zune is.

Once again, thank you and rock on.

aww shucks, thanks Lacey :)

I love that box.  Adult Swim is awesome.  I watch them every night before I go to sleep.

I think it is so cool that the Zune partnered with adult swim for this.  The Zune is just as cool and unique as adult swim is.

It would be cool if the Zune continued to partner with Adult Swim.  :)

Adam

Thanks for these pics! I'm a pretty big Apple fanboy, but I've been checking out your site for a while, and I gotta say I've fallen for the Zune. When I can afford to dual boot my Mac and get a Zune (which will prolly take me a while,) I'm gonna!

If you've ever wondered how the Zune screen printing ( Adult Swim , Halo , Tempt One ), this video is
