Turns out Microsoft ended up not going a head with previous laid out planes of having an add for the Super Bowl 2007 game that took place on Sunday. A previous report hinted to the fact that Microsoft were looking at advertising the Zune at the Super Bowl, but oh well there were plenty of other great adds!
So we are now up to Atlanta, LA, Chicago and now we have Seattle pics (thanks to Zuneama.com) and a New York coverage coming up. At this Zune Launch Event was head honcho him self, Mr Bill Gates, and he was sporting a very stylish Zune jacket we must add.
Seem like Seattle was the place to be for the Microsoft people, Cesar Menendez pops up to say hello
Then there was the out side event with Secret Machines playing for the crowed.
Seemed like a pretty good day all around, with some interesting characters floating around.

Well just like Chicago and Atlanta, there was the Zune Launch Party in LA (if losing track of these events, check here) and the band to be the spotlight at this event was non other then the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The event took place at Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles with thanks to ZuneSphere.com for coverage of the event.
Here are some pictures from the LA night:
This is a little package being handed out by Microsoft employees to people at the LA event. Inside the record sized packages were two CDs full of songs, a couple of LPs, and some Zune related art materials.
And talk about your Microsoft gadget car…
And finally a video of inside the event:

Well we have T.I in Atlanta and Lupe was performing in Chicago for another one of many Zune events to come, check out the pics and vids below (thanks ZuneCorps.com)

Looks like a pretty cool concert right there, gotta dig the crazy lighting, and check out Zune stage branding ;)
Times like this I wish I was closer to the action and not in Aus…
If you were live in Atlanta you probably would of heard all this going on, T.I was having a Zune Launch Concert, and appeared a fair few people rocked up for the free show. Not my type of music though…
Any ways here are some pics from the day.

Want to go party down and watch some live bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, T.I. Lupe Fiasco, The Secret Machines and Morgan Heritage Band & Richie Spice.
Well there are 6 (so far) Zune Launch parties going on in 6 different cities, NY, LA, Seattle, Miami, Chicago and Atlanta. Entry is free and here is the info you will need to score your self some Zune Launch Party tickets:
Just like Gizmodo went to the Zune LA party, so did Engadget, where they also took some pictures, this time of the Zune working with the Xbox 360.
Once a Zune is plugged into the 360 it becomes identified on the 360 dashboard.
You are then able to brows all your Zune content.
Allowing you to go deeper into all the media on your Zune…
Until you find that song you love to play.
