I didn't just spot someone with an original Zune 30 on the subway this afternoon -- they had a brown one!

Rarely saw those in the wild, even when they were new.

One time I was in the elevator of my college dorm listening to some music on my Zune 30 and this other person got right before the doors closed. In the corner of my eye, I saw him peer over to my hands where I was navigating my collection and he said, "Whoa, that's a huge iPod!". I didn't feel like explaining to him what the huge, brown brick was so I just replied, "Yeah, it's a special edition."

A few weeks later, I picked up a Zune 80.

Brown Zunes will someday become the hipster symbol it was originally intended to be.

I wonder if those same hipsters will also buy KINs.

The nerve of some people, that things practically an antique.

I used to see them all the time at school, but I live within 3 miles of the main campus, and there were always more iPods.

I had a zune 30 stolen from my car. Who steals a zune! I mean really. They probably didnt care either way and sold it but I always wondered if they where confused with what to do with it. Hoping that it pissed them off somehow.

Ha, my friend bought a brown Zune 30 on woot a while back and he still uses it. I see white ones in the wild the most.

I bought a Brown case for my Black 120GB when I upgraded, just to keep that original aesthetic.

I had a brown zune 30 when they came out. It actually looked pretty nice in person with the green edges (now that I think about it, that color scheme seems horrible). I sometimes wish I never sold it, it was the first device I wasn't worried about breaking.
