First Images of Red on BET.com

BET has a quick feature and has the first official image of the Red Zune, here. The red Zune is available now on Amazon.com.  If it’s not available at your local Target store, it should be there in the coming weeks.

<edit June 11> Changed availability message.

Here are a few more images:

Sweetness!!

ray

Nice, what's its double shot colour?

Stefan

I guess some other retailers were tired of Gamestop getting all the limited edition Zunes!

Mark

cesar: is this red as in product red or just red as in color?

TheMan

Cesar, i'm proud of you and/or your coworkers for putting up information before anyone else.  Good news. Now get me that Ford(mustang) limited edition zune so i can have two. please.

Thanks and good work.

Noice.

Can we have that wallpaper? It looks sweet.

Ricardo Dawkins

is this a Limited Edition as the baby pink ?

Looks quite good.

How about selling the Zune shell as standalone accesories ?

Stephen R Gibson

I have to ask: WHY are these colours limited? Especially pink?

Woody56292

Red looks nice, what is the double shot color? Orange? Speaking of orange, I still wish you guys would sell the Orange Zunes, I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Jose Melendez

Hi, this is a great product, any way to get that red style wallpaper along with the ones of the black zune??

And finally gizmodo have amoken to it too:

The good thing about the giz article is that there      

isn't even a hint of negativity towards the zune which is a refreshing change. Jason Chen wrote it so that explains it - he's the only writer for engadget who isn't totally biased. Thankfully Brian Lam didn't write or it would have been a completely different story!

Cody

that reminds me i saw the pink zune all sold out at TOYS R US!!! i cant believe they would sell it there to kids...and i cant believe it was sold out anyways, because ever since i have owned a zune i have never gotten to use the wifi, because everyone i know has a ipod...so my question is where are all the zunes???????anyone know?????thats why they haven't REALLY said that they have sold one million zunes yet....

Babylon

nice color.  I'm noticing a trend of only using the clear double shot for new products.  Is this just a trend for the limiteds or is this the new standard double shot?

Lara

Oh geez ya'll are kidding me right!?

I finally saved enough to spend part of my paycheck on a zune this weekend (picked up a white one) and now, just next week ya'll are releasing the red!?

Hahahahahaaa. White will always be classy though ;)

hoohoo

watermelon red on bet?  how strange.

Jose Melendez

Thanks Ricardo Dawkins

Kerri

I want that Koi wallpaper. :3

itisme

That wallpaper looks awesome. Pity its not on the flickr page. Any chance it could be uploaded to it?

Purty!

@ray

Give the Giz a break, they are all pretty good at being unbiased, especially with the amound of gadgets that they review and report on. Plus I think BLam has done a pretty damn good job when it comes to the Zune.

ray

@SELCOUTH

Link to one of Blams articles about microsoft that doesn't contain clearly biased negativity and then contrast it with one of his articles about apple and then get back to me with a valid point.

I'll start- here is one of his that happened to be about both apple and ms and just try to explain to me where the objectivity is:

Last year there was a lot of hyped publicity about two limited edition red zunes being auctioned as part of the union/stussy/undftd promotion. I won the auction only to discover that there never were any red zunes and that the auction photo was doctered. I was really pissed off
