The guys at Gizmodo got some exclusive pics of the new Zune HD packaging along with word that the device will be available September 15th. That date is a little later than most people expected, but still early enough to get some attention before the holiday season.
As for the packaging, it’s standard fare. A white box with a pic of the device in either the 16GB or 32GB flavors. There’s still no mention of pricing, though it’s expected to be something like $220 for the 16GB and $290 for the 32GB. Those prices were from a leaked Amazon page yesterday. Compare that to the $299/$399 pricetags on the same size iPod Touch and we just might see a few people migrating to the Zune, especially with the added bonus of HD video playback.
