awesome news!

Puerto Rican Reggaeton blows....if you want to taste good Spanish reggae download Aldo Ranks or La Factoria (Panama Music) from Zune Marketplace.

Man y yo que acabe de comprarme un Zune la semana pasada, si lo supiera mas temprano. Oh well que se puede hacer. (English: Man and I just bought a Zune last week if I would have known Zunner..lol)

At least thier's one Boricua reading your blogs Cesar.

I think things like this are great to help promote artists and the Zune.

Is there any chance Zune will ever do something like this with artists that more people have heard of?

Gracias Cesar,

The true is I am spanish, and I think is a great Idea by MS to reach the spanish market, the are great, matter fact they are one of my favorite groups,

Great Idea.

I've never heard of them, looks like I'll have to check them out.

I'm sure your marketing guys are already working on this, but you should get them to feature the Zune in future music videos. Worked for iPod with 50 Cent.

Si beh dai oramai è diventato un post italiano...

so since i can't find anyone else talking about it, i was just wondering if you could shed some light on the subject of faceplates.

will they work like the ones for the Xbox 360? will they also change the face buttons?

Cesar & MS team, great/thanks!

Keep it up, showing the world that the great Zune experience is all about the music... not only technology.

Since I subscribed to Zune I am 95% covered on the music front, just need to expand WorldWide/genre coverage and get videos in the loop...

Thanks again.

DS.

Yeah, thats a good idea, Id buy the 2pac zune loaded with all of Tupac Shakurs albums. :)

I think is a good idea, Wisin & Yandel are the most popular duo in Latin music right now and are a good choice to try and reach more the Latin community.  

I know a lot of people don't know who they are but that doesn't mean they're not good. I've been a fan of them since 98 and I'm glad MS is not forgetting about other genres and giving them a chance.

Cesar,

I can't find direct contact info for you anymore, but I wanted to share a site with you that I created, where we will be giving away free Zune 8.

Blog post about it: http://www.krazier.com/blog/?p=16

It's a new site offering vector designs in XAML for Windows and Silverlight Applications.

Seems like a decent offering that should appeal to one market segment.  My wife would love a Ricky Martin limited edition.  And personally, I'd like a limited edition Zune that pays homage to Blues.

Right now though, I'm mostly curious about the new Zune devices and service update.  Hopefully there are a few surprises that will be revealed at launch.  As in some undisclosed feature addition.  That would be a great marketing move.

its funny, they keep releasing these special addition zune but have yet to release anything outside of the usa. It seems like things are being done backwars? Release it world wide then start getting into special editions, no?

great info Cesar, Saludos a ti tambien desde Mexico! I was going to a Wisin & Yandel Concert but I cannot obtain the money, and friends were very happy with they tickets and... they cancelled the concert! I laught a lot at they faces..

I would buy this edition if it was in the Zune 80 :)

Saludos xD

yeah, this is good. u know i also saw a zune in the music video "zun da da" by reggaeton artist "zion".

This is great that M$ are promoting artist in the latino market.

Good job!!

@ Phil W in CANADA: Totally agree with you! I really don't see why MS hasn't at the very least tested the waters of an international release by extending their market into Canada. Smaller risk than Europe, I would think...

And Cesar, if they DO decide to come to Canada, three words of advice: Tragically Hip Edition.

Oh man, that would be sweet!

Aw man if you guys released a 2pac Zune and advertised it on myspace and TV it'd sell like hot cakes!

When is the special, limited edition Canadian version coming out? You could put Anne Murray on it or something.

Any news if it'll be available in other countries?

i hate reggaeton :(

im so proud that we have so many haters hating on the fact that hispanics are taking over... from iraq doing the country justice a lil spanish music does us hispanics well

Just bought it and absoluely love it.

i love regeaton some people are haters i love wisin y yandel and we know each other cuz i know them!!

una pregunta ¿saldra en mexico?

Check out prominent Latino advertising and marketing site HispanicTrends' take on a new trend in the

This is great, it gives gadgets a more humane feeling.

By the way, you guys shoul do custom artist engreving on the new zunes.
