I'm really excited about this because frankly the platinum 32 GB Zune doesn't look all that good in pictures (maybe it looks better in person?) so if there were no colour options I'd likely have wanted black but ended up with platinum because I'd want 32 GB of storage. I haven't been able to acquire any images of what the Zune HD Originals colours will look like (stay tuned!), but I hope that the colours they pick trend more toward the darker, richer tones and not the semi-fluorescent tones that <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/" target="_blank">certain other companies think look good</a>.</p>

Those colors look so sick. I hope you will be able to chose which color is on which part of the zune, that would be absolutely amazing.

Wow! Just wow. I was away from the computer yesterday and just checked my email this morning and found that at the bottom. Still had not read anything about the colors online, so I was absolutely and pleasantly stunned to see the awesome color choices.

I also just realized that people wanted Black but in 32gb should now be able to order it through Zune Originals. Something I'm considering, but I'd really like a chance to look at them in person before deciding. Anybody have any idea of how to find out which stores in the select cities will be participating in the Zune preview?

I updated the Best Buy post with a link so you can check which stores will be doing the demos...
