<img alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/zt/2006/dec15-zune-winner.jpg" /><br /><br />The contest is now over, and the winner of the 30 GB black Zune is...<em><a target="_blank" href="http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/member.php?u=556">izune</a></em>! 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 <em>izune's</em> luck would have it, he posted only a few minutes before I shut it down to do the drawing. Congratulations to <em>izune</em> on winning - check your forum inbox for a winning message from me.<br /><br />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.

Much congrats to izune. :) A few minutes before shutting down the thread... All luck. :rolleyes:

Jason, is there a video clip of you picking it out as I wan't to see some suspense! :p

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. :D

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. :D

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. :D

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

[izune]

Oh My God!!!
You never guess how much am I suprised and happy about this!!!

Running Polish website (izune.pl) at least I'll have that's called 'user experience' when writing about Zune :)

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.
