I say no, probably not - if you look at the image, you can tell that it's been digitally inserted - the reflections and the lighting are wrong. I think this is just another case of a graphic designer getting creative and the Zune Canada people not noticing it. So I say there is no purplse Zune. What do you say?</p>

[David Tucker]

Well, I do know I disagree on the lighting. The reflections on the Zune seem to match the light reflection in her hair.

Much ado about nothing. Microsoft should just replace the photo with a proper one and let it be.

i'd buy a new purple zune in a heartbeat.
i'd buy a 120 and a 16.

Probably just my old eyes but it looks like a doctored iPod Nano (the new curved one)

I just find it interesting that the Zune Canadians haven't changed the picture...
