Since we’re already on the Zune news front – I’ll mention this tidbit. Long time fans of Joy Division will love this one – Microsoft will launch a limited edition Zune media player with custom artwork designed by Peter Saville on June 17th to commemorate the DVD release of the “Joy Division” movie documentary.

The custom black Zune 80 player will come preloaded with the Joy Division movie and will have an adaptation of Saville’s artwork from Joy Division’s “Unknown Pleasures” album etched on the back. Microsoft will make five hundred of these players which will be sold through http://www.zune.net and on http://www.zuneoriginals.net.

The DVD release of “Joy Division” is set for the same day and will be released through Genius Products and The Weinstein Company. I’ve already seen the flick and Joy Division fans will surely enjoy the film! The limited edition Joy Division Zune 80 will cost $399.99.
