Don't know about you guys, but a brown player just doesn't look all that nice as brown reminds me of something else..........

Can you imagine a brown HiFi system/component? What about a brown DVD player or LCD TV? Hum........
Exactly! DRM/musical restrictions aside, the Zunes are just butt-ugly. I'm thinking either primary colors or snappy, bright ones are going to catch the eye of most potential buyers of these players. I can't imagine what Microsoft's rationale was for choosing BROWN as one of the Zune's primary colors. I'm guessing that they were trying to be "different" than the competition, but seriously...
Alot of people actually prefer the brown, to the balck and white. Here's a chart from Amazon sales back in May (before the recent discounts) for hard drive based MP3 players. The BROWN Zune came in second:

"Brown Zune maybe the MOST popular?

It appears that retailers are beginning to discount the Black and White Zune. The Brown Zune however continues to be sold for $249. Could this signal that Microsoft has been successful marketing the Zune as a more "alternative" media player."
