Zune Originals Get Canadian Artists

Microsoft has announced seven new designs courtesy of half a dozen Canadian artists that will see action to the Zune Originals artist series. Canadians now have the option to customize their Zune with laser-engraved artwork from inspiring Canadian artists including Vicki Wong & Michael Murphy, Derrick Hodgson and Mathieu Missiaen among others. Starting from June 13th onwards, all Zune Originals artwork and engraving will be offered for free, making it a rather enticing prospect. The Zune 4GB, Zune 8GB and Zune 80GB models will retail for $139.99, $189.99 and $249.99, respectively. Prices are quoted in Canadian dollars.
