Zune HD Available for Pre-Oder, Prices and Colors Confirmed

It looks like just about every rumor we’ve heard about the Zune HD has turned out to be true. Today Microsoft announced that the latest iteration of the Zune (that actually seems to have jumped several generations) is available for pre-order and confirmed the major specs.

The pricing has also been confirmed: The 16GB version will cost $220 and the 32GB will be $290. If you pre-order, you can get the 16GB in black and the 32GB in platinum; otherwise the Zune HD will be available in black, platinum, red, green and blue at launch, which is officially on September 15. You can also choose to have one of 10 engravings on the back of the device, if you want to be unique in exactly the same way as every other Zune HD owner.

Microsoft also confirmed there will be a dock charger and a Premium Car Pack that will let you play your music in the car.
