Zune Marketplace team has just started posting FREE to download videos from Comic-Con 2008 that are being produced by the Xbox Live Marketplace team.  I am making this post from the Xbox Live control center that is across the street from the San Diego Convention Center.  Zune and MSN are the only other places besides Xbox that will allow you to get access to this great daily content coming out of Comic-Con.  I am hearing here that Comic-Con will have about 150,000 attendees over the four day run (July 24-27) in San Diego, California. 

Just download the Zune Marketplace software to get access to these great Comic-Con 2008 videos in the Zune Marketplace software on your laptop or desktop pc and or on your Zune.

Zune will also be giving away ten "Heroes TV Show" logo branded Zune 80 players as part of a cast panel and collectable "Heroes Villians" poster giveaway promotion here at Comic-Con. The panel is on Saturday from 10:30-11:45am in the largest hall here.  NBC is expecting over 6,500 people to attend this one panel at the show.

I have also attended a few comics related podcasting panels here the first day or so. Very cool indeed.

Neat.  Can you get us a picture of the Heroes Zune?

Hello Zune team,

I'll be a bit off-topic and straight to the point. As much as I would love to become part of Zune family... I simply have trouble finding any black 80 Zunes in online stores. Of course, I there are offers for 300 or more dollars in shady stores or eBay, but I don't want to be buying there.

So, can you please ask your colleagues, if and when we could expect black Zunes back?

Thank you!

PS Great page and articles!

@Stereo - You can try Zune Originals.  It looks they still have them in stock, and you can order one at MSRP if you get text only (which you can put no text on it, just get a blank-except-for-copyright-info back).

@ stereo

Good luck... I'm still trying to find an answer for when we'll get the Zune here in Australia, Microsoft doesn't like answering questions.

I guess your best bet would be ebay but they are really expensive.

Sianlee - although I do live in the UK :-) my question was regarding the US stores...

Nick, thanks for the tip. I would actually love to get a 'Zune Original', but I thought it might be a bit too big of a hassle for my American friend :) Plus I can't access the page to select a design and give my friend straight URL or at least the design title :) But.. if it is possible just to get a plain one there, I might try arranging that :)

Thanks!

@STEREO

google and download UltraReach. use it.

I thought the headline meant we'll finally be able to sync our XBL Video Store vids to Zune. I'm bitterly disappointed.

Oh, and please do more free video content like this.

That's exactly what I figured it said...

That's the feature that I'm looking for most. It would be great to take my XBL vids to go.
