Zune Rolls Out Red 80GB Player For Valentine's Day

With the excitement surround the release of Microsoft's Zune 80GB media player, the company is making a red player available available just in time for Valentine's Day.

Inspired by the themes of love and sharing, an exclusive collection of 20 new laser-engraved designs will be available to consumers for a limited time at ZuneOriginals.net as a bonus. And additionally, the Zune Marketplace will feature Valentine's Day playlists that can be shared with friends or loved ones, Zune to Zune or via the Zune Social online music community.

"Zune gives consumers a dynamic canvas that is brought to life by the music, pictures, videos and podcasts they fill it with," said Scott Erickson, senior director of product management for Zune at Microsoft. "Zune Originals makes it easy to design a customized player, while wireless sharing and the Zune Social online music community give people new ways to connect."

Via Zune Originals, customers have 65 different designs (with the additon of the Valetine Day options) to personalize their players with. The new Valentine's Day series -- which are laser-etched into the back of the device -- will be available exclusively through February 14.

Each new graphic can be paired with up to three lines of text, letting consumers add a personal message; if no graphic is chosen, up to five lines of text are available. And for a limited time, Zune Originals offers a gift-wrap option and shipping at no additional charge.

The new 80GB device boasts a bright 3.2-inch screen and premium in-ear noise-isolating headphones, and offer wireless sync and sharing, and a built-in FM tuner. It retails for $249.
