[quote name='FreeStuffFan85']A few quick questions:
1) What color is the Zune?
The prize picture shows five colors, but what color is the actual prize they ship to you (I'm guessing it's black, right?)? I want to get one for a friend and just wanted to know if it was a random selection, or only in black.[/QUOTE]
It can ship in several colors, but for the past several months the very vast majority of Zunes shipped have been the color black. This would indicate and imply that they only have Black left or that they have a very large stock of black Zunes.
So, it can be a color other than black, but expect a black Zune.
[quote name='FreeStuffFan85']2) Do you guys think there's a chance that the 60 GB Xbox or the newer Xbox 360 Arcade will be added any time this year? Has the 20 GB Xbox been on the site since 2007?
I'm saving up to get an Xbox 360 for my sister, and I would have no problem waiting for a little while if Microsoft decides to update the Xboxs (like, say, by December). The Xboxs that some of you have received were manufactured around October 2006, right? Does anyone think that Microsoft will STILL be handing out older models even after the 3-year warranty has passed (like an October 2006 model ordered in November 2009 and received in December 2009)?
My sister will be fine with 20 GBs of hard drive space, but I just don't want her to be really happy with the system and then have it RROD after the warranty is up.

No, zero chance. The 06 360's have been on Club Live since the beginning and they are still here to this day. Some people have been lucky with 07 models, but they are a very small minority. Almost all of the 360's come with already expired warranties and the warranty has nothing to do with the 360's they ship. The two 360's I received have all came with expired warranties.
Once you receive your 360, you're almost entirely on your own (if the warranty is expired, and chances are it will be). If you run into a problem, neither Club Live nor Microsoft will help you for free. The only exception is if your 360 is shipped with some internal error or problem that happens within the first couple of weeks of shipment, and Club Live generally only helps you if it is determined that the problem was out of your control or came DoA. They also require proof.
My first 360 came Dead on Arrival, and Club Live required evidence in the form of all of the transcripts I made between myself and Microsoft Customer Support (They wanted my support # to read the transcripts themselves). If everything seems to turn out as you say it is, Club Live has you reship the 360 back to them where they personally check to make sure the error is valid and that the 360 hasn't been tampered with in any way.
If they determine that the 360 did ship with some problem or error that was out of the control of the user, they will reship you another 360.
So to simply answer you: You will most likely get a 360 with an expired warranty, and if anything happens to it after the first week or two after you receive it, you are on your own unless you personally pay to have it fixed.
