Default And The Winner of the Black Zune Is...izune!



The contest is now over, and the winner of the 30 GB black Zune is...izune! I was originally intending to finish the contest at 12 noon today, but as is typical, I got wrapped up in work and didn't shut down the thread until the afternoon. And, as izune's luck would have it, he posted only a few minutes before I shut it down to do the drawing. Congratulations to izune on winning - check your forum inbox for a winning message from me.

Thanks for entering our contest everyone - I hope you'll stick around and contribute to our Zune community, even if you don't have one. ;-) Keep your eyes open for our Vaja giveaway contest - we're giving away TEN Vaja Zune cases! That contest will kick off on Monday.

Hahaha...it would be a boring clip! I look at the number of responses, go to www.random.org, and ask it to pick a random number for me between "x" and "y" and that's about it. The REAL drama is how long it takes me to get the winner posted.

That's a pretty cool site. The extra 24 hours put some suspense, but I always loved those drum roll background music and the picker keeping their hands in the box for so long.

Nonetheless, congrats to izune, and I'll be sticking around for the Vaja case even if I don't have a Zune. XD Will it be fully customizable like it says on the Vaja website?

Thanks

Congrats, izune! I just won one on ebay tonight so I'm rereading the articles here with renewed interest. I bet you'll do the same.

Apologies for getting off topic, but for what price did you snag it for? I've seen some cheap Zunes being sold, but I've been hesitant with eBay...

Thanks again, Zunethoughts!

I've been buying off of ebay for a long time. I found a Buy-it-now (BIN) deal for around $150US shipped. I set search parameters of BIN and Price range of $90 - 210. That weeds out most of the accessories. Then, I just checked back often. The seller was a biz w/40K + transactions and 99% positive feedback so I felt pretty safe. I double-checked condition & included accessories before bidding. It's black, just like the one izune is going to get. HTH.
