No I still don’t have one but I know a lot of you out there listen in to U360 via your Zune so I wanted to share the news that TV shows have made their way to the Zune with the latest Spring update. You can now choose from more than 800 episodes of popular television series to download and watch on your computer or Zune, including COMEDY CENTRAL’s “South Park,” FUNimation’s “Afro Samurai” and “Witchblade,” MTV’s “The Hills,” NBC’s “The Office,” “Heroes” and “30 Rock,” and much, much more!

Each television show will be priced at 160 Microsoft Points per episode (approximately $1.99) at launch. With more than 3.5 million tracks, two-thirds of which are available in pure MP3 format, 800 television shows, 4,800 music videos and 3,500 audio and video podcasts, the Zune online store is a great place for consumers to find the entertainment content they want.
“Partnering with Zune will allow us to develop innovative content offerings for their customers, including flexible pricing and packaging options beginning this fall,” said JB Perrette, president of NBC Universal Digital Distribution. “NBC Universal is excited to offer our hit television shows to Zune customers.”
I’m going to get a Zune Original at some point so it’s good to see the Zune Marketplace expanding especially when it includes one of my favorite TV shows, Heroes. It’ll be great watching Peter lay the smack down on Sylar while I’m riding the train home or flying out to an event. Anyone have a spare Zune Original?

For the 18 people who still use their Zunes, I congratulate you on being able to d/l TV shows.
