8GB Creative Zen V Plus in Red
When the 8GB Zen V Plus became available in the U.S. several months after it was first announced, many were disappointed that the player did not have the black and red color scheme mentioned in the original press release. It could only be purchased with the blue accents that were previously reserved for the 4GB model.
Today, Creative Japan is reporting the late-March release of the coveted red 8GB Zen V Plus ($210). The good news for U.S. residents is that the player is already available in Singapore. Confused? Well, this isn't necessary a hard-and-fast rule, but Creative usually rolls out its products in this order: Singapore, Japan, Europe, North America. So that means we're almost next!

It looks quite unbalanced.
Keys only on the left side? Why?

iamtheworld -> what do you mean "is only available in singapore... yet the picture shows the words on the player in english?" what language do you think locals in singapore are speaking in? let me tell you why it's in english.. because the locals speak ENGLISH. i think you should be able to get it anywhere, even on ebay or amazon?

It can actually be pre-ordered off of the US site.
