Microsoft to release a Joy Division Zune
I hope it looks better than this!
(Credit: CNET Networks/Jasmine France)If you're a big Joy Division fan, I've got good news for you--unless of course you're also a huge iPod fan. Microsoft is set to release a limited edition Joy Division Zune on June 10, to coincide with an upcoming DVD about the band. The player will feature an etching of the cover art from band's 1979 debut, Unknown Pleasures. Perhaps Microsoft will even throw in a digital copy of the album, though there is nothing to substantiate this postulating. There are no images available of the new Zune just yet, but my subpar mock-up at right might give you some idea. Or look below for an image of New Balances of a similar nature that came out around this time last year.
