I guess you can order one from eBay, but IMO that is a waste of money. You can add a little extra and get a touch capable mobile phone that has a similar sized screen (i.e : Nokia 5800).

Zune HD has 3.3 inch 480x272 screen where as a 5800 has a 3.2" 640x360 hi res screen.
Zune retails for USD 220 for 16GB and 280 for 32GB while you can get a 5800 for around USD 300 or less in Sri Lanka with warranty. And mind you 5800 is a full fledged phone with lot of other features while Zune is just a media player.

I had a 5800 and then sold it......it was a good phone ....bu what I want now is an excellent portable media player and the Zune HD seems to be the best

Do you really think paying something like 250 for a media player having a 3.3" screen is worth it?
Have you considered the Sony PSP ? It has a larger 4.3" 480 x 272 screen and costs like USD 170. I've used one for few weeks, screen size is still small but decent and the battery life is pretty good too. Has Wi-fi for internet access and you can use Skype for calling, then of cause you can play games on it too :P .

hmm.. you might have a point there. I only used the PSP for watching movies. Didn't really compare the sound quality.. I guess then Zune HD is the best option ..
