Some lucky Zune HD owners in the land of the free and the home of the brave might remembering seeing this first time booting up their shiny new toy, but for the rest of us watching from the continental sidelines here is the cool and somewhat trippy minute-long “Welcome to the Zune HD” rite of passage into the “social”. Remember, you can look but don’t touch.
For the musically curious, the song is “Blackout” by The Whip who according to their MySpace profile is all too familiar with the Zune-ies.
Hmmm…
Long, do you have a Zune HD then?
@Nicko: Nope.
Why don’t they use this as a commercial? It is a lot better than the current one.
…and on the video. Wow. Pretty sweet.
Now if only we can convince the Redmond powers-that-be to let us see it on the device here…
>_> heyyy, i saw that 360 branded hot-air balloon. what’s that doin’ there? 😛
The Xbox 360 balloon is there to simbolize the gaming capabilities of the Zune HD. I think.
Definitely can’t wait for my birthday. 😉
@moonman: ‘cept that the games on Zune don’t fall under the 360 brand… yet.
Do the little people and scenes remind anyone of the windows 7 advert long posted a few weeks ago?
@Kieran
Yes. 🙂
I also care to speculate… Zune games probably will fall under the Xbox Live Arcade brand…
*sigh*
I think the Xbox 360 brand logo is there because Zune and Xbox Live are linked now, aren’t they?
Hmm, interesting.
Does anyone else think it resembles the Windows 7 tour vids?
Reminds me a bit of the 360 commercials. The ones with the party in the back of someones head..
If the Zune HD had a camera, augmented reality with just rotating that device around would be neat.
Good video. Ark_mage is right, it should be a commerical.
xbox360 is there to more likely show the intergrationit has with xbox live with regards to renting a movie once and playing it either on the xbox, zune or desktop.
its just like the 360’s nxe welcome vid
What is the song?
ooooh

doesn’t see text with song name)
