According to a report from Wired, Microsoft is gearing up to release a limited edition Joy Division–themed version of their less–than–ubiquitous MP3 player, The Zune.

The Joy Division Zune will feature an adaptation of the cover art from the band's 1979 debut, Unknown Pleasures, which artist Peter Saville created using a graph of one hundred pulses from pulsar CP 1919 (apparently the first radio pulsar ever discovered).

Later this month, a new hits collection will be released from the band. The record is titled The Best of Joy Division and is due out April 29, 2008
