I remember when after the release of Zune 30 last year, people which had deleted their player's preloaded content were asking for ways to re-download it. Thats not going to happen with Zune 2, because Microsoft has it available to download. Its a 410MB zip file containing videos, music, podcasts and photos. You can take a look at it even if you don't have Zune (but you'll get one right?!) ...

In case you need the Zune 30 preloaded content, you still need to use more difficult ways to get it.
