That's awesome! Great move on listening to customer feedback. ;-)

Any chance some of the "Valentine's Day"-specific artwork will also find a return to Zune Originals?

Yippeee!!! I missed it last time around.  Do I have a couple of weeks, or is this a limited offer as well?

Can you guys work on letting users make their own custom art stuff? The ones on the site are nice and all, but I want more of my own customization.

Because that would a really bonus for many people like me who want to do their own crazy art stuff.

@Machael

I can see why ZuneOriginals would NOT allow user custom artwork. There's no way for them to know if that's actually your artwork and not someone else's copyrighted work. Plus they would also have to spend more time filtering  the custom artwork that was appropriate: i.e. art with naked people. They don't want the legal headaches that come with custom artwork.

I suggest that if you want something customized, then get a blank Zune and go to a local engraver to engrave something on the back. (Of course, that's assuming the local engraver can engrave your Zune w/o damaging it.)

I guess the best thing to hope for is that Zune Originals issues more of a selection of artwork that's more to your liking.

This is brilliant news!

I just have quick question though: Will Canadians be able to buy a Zune from ZuneOriginals.net when the Zunes arrive in Spring 2008?

Thanks mate!

Hey Cesar, it's great that you guys brought back the red zune 80. I have one myself, I feel sorry for my brown 30, have not touched it since the red 80 arrived.
