Sonos Play 1 Blue Note Limited Edition

Anyone else buy one?

Looks like a whole load were bought by folk looking to make a quick profit on eBay.

I love my little Play 1's but a Limited Edition model ? What's the point ?

Doesn't it come with access to the bluenote channel or stream?

Yup, there are three including a limited time (a year) one - which I'm listening to now, and gaining a Blue Note education. Don't the other two appear for all Sonos users?

Other than the channels (unless they come to all users)... it does look great in the graduated blue paint job.

Although Sonos claim that their stream from Blue Note is "exclusive" it seems to be openly available via TuneIn and iTunes.

Only the "Artist Selects" channel is claimed to be exclusive AFAICT.
