As a US service member stationed overseas, I am very disappointed that my location is prohibitive of even viewing the zune originals on-line!! What a disservice.

I ordered mine on the 29th and got it on the 3rd. Now that is service! And it looks awesome. I think Apple could learn something from the Zune Originals! (Oh, wait, did I just say that? - Apple learning something? Talk about an oxymoron)

I got my Zune 80 from the Originals site today. I was impressed by it arriving 3 days after I ordered it.

I love the device, the touchpad, and the design on the back. Great packaging as well. I'm totally impressed; while I loved the 30, the 80's shown me how much better the same layout can look.

All I would say you guys should do is include a case like with the original Zunes, while it wasn't much, it was better than nothing.

I am also wanting to know if bigger sizes (160Gb) will be seen soon. I already have the 30Gb and don't want to buy an 80Gb just to have a bigger size released soon. I'm going to buy a Zune either way but some general ideas would be nice. Even just general dates (like a quarter or next year) would be great.

Hey, I've been so torn about getting the new 80G to replace my zen xtra. My biggest concern is I have hundreds (literally) of self-made various artists cds in my computer that I want to sync. I fell in love with WMP 11's ability not only to add album art, but to separate tracks on a CD and create separate tags for them (i.e. say I burned a 20 song CD from ITunes, then ripped onto WMP 11, I can make each song it's own "album" with art, tag, etc.) first off will Zune Player recognize this? and even if not will it erase what i have in WMP11?

I'm too terrified to even get the zune now until i get this answered. I mean, I'm a music collector and have about 200G minimum of music. Help! Please! anybody!

Got my Zune 8 the day they came out and now all I really want is an armband. Anybody seen one. Belkin is supposed to have one, but it's not available yet. I need accessories.

Awesome.

I had it back-ordered at Target but now I should hopefully get it sooner, and with the cool box design!

Please, oh please, make it in brown. Or maybe Lime Green to match my Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones.

Hey Cesar! Why can't people from outside the United States access the website? I mean I really want a custom Zune but i cant even acces the page that has information on purchasing them. This really alienates people from outside the country who are also a part of your customer base. Last year when the Zune was originally launched I had to fly to the US to go and get me one because it won't ship to outside the US. This is a bit unfair to the people who want to be a pert of the experience but can't because of these restrictions. Do I once again have to fly to the Sates to go and see the designs up for sale? Please allow access to the site because I am pretty sure that there are a hell of a lot of people outside the US who wish that they could have that product in their stockings in time for Christmas.

The Zune Originals special editions spoof is LOL! You must have a good sense of humor to enjoy it.

Can somebody confirm if more colors are coming, because if they aren't I'm not going to pass on this.

Great, the day before mine is supposed to arrive finally they start offering the 80 with the customization. I'll have to find an aftermarket way to get mine tattooed.

Hey Cesar,

I noticed you posted about the background change....speaking of background changes, what about ZuneInsider getting a facelift? Everything else did (Zune, Software, Art) and about this:

"Music, culture, and the inside scoop from Cesar Menendez,

a Microsoft employee working on Zune - Microsoft's new music project"

it's not that new.....just some feedback for ya buddy.... (",)
