Contest : Got Zune? Win One!
Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/11/07
Update: Game Over, Congrats Kriff
To kick off Got Zune, we are giving away a Black 80GB Zune 2. This contest couldn't be any easier, well it could be easier, but... ya know.
To win just post comments. The more comments, the better your chances. From now until November 20th, you can comment on our posts here. On November 20th, 2007, I will go into the admin control panel and figure up how many comments we have accumulated and do a random drawing by comment ID for the winner.
To keep folks from spamming comments with "cool post" and "thanks man" comments, I will pass over comments that have no true substance.
It's that simple. Oh, one more thing... Make sure the email address you are posting comments with is valid. This will be the email that I use to notify the winner with.
Stay Tuned, there might be more contests too! We had fun giving away a pink Zune over on Mobilitysite earlier this month.
One last thing, this will have no effect on your chance to win, but I welcome you to join our MyBlogLog Community and share in our forums over at Mobilitysite.

Awesome! Great way to promote your new blog. Best of luck to all, I sure hope I win.
I’ll take that Zune, my good man!
I’m liking the look of this site, Chris - very web 2.0; very cool. Looks like it has all the ingredients to be a resounding success.
Glad to see a Zune blog. I have been promoting zune for about a year now myself. I got one of the original brown ones and I love it. I so want one of these new 80gb Zunes for myself. I don’t know if you have heard (and I haven’t read all of your blog entries yet) - but apparently on launch day from zune.net they will offer you the option to customize the 80gb - so while black is what they say the only 80gb color will be — that may only be true for retail stores - but apparently you can choose your color from a pretty large pallete and then you can choose something to engrave on it and even an image - up to 25 to choose from. Really awesome stuff. That whole “you make it you” campaign will really come together tuesday. Good luck with the blog. I’m adding this to my list of daily visits alongside Engadget, Gizmodo and others…I used to be on the delldjsite as well - I had one of those. I still think it was an excellent DAP. The scrolling feature on it was nice and I loved the blue backlighting! Anyway - you’ve heard enough from me…good luck man!

I still have yet to pick up an original zune. Although I am looking at getting one from Buy.com or Amazon.com the brown ones for 99.99 cant beat that other then free. I really cant wait to get myself a zune I hate Ipods and think the zune is way better. I am kind of a Microsoft Fanboy lol. So far this blog is looking great cant wait to see more come from it. I am going to have to add it to my quick tabs. I have always wanted to see you make a zune blog.
Thanks for the chance to win,
Trevor.
I own a couple of iPods, but am tired of some of the apple antics and their overwhelming market share in this space. I would love to have the Zune and join the social!
The Rate this Post option looks really cool.
friend: Got Zune?
me: Yup, I got one from Got Zune!
Good luck to all.
Does it come in brown?
Nope.
i want one a zune
This device looks amazing, I would love to own one!
Oh and my Birthday is on Friday, this would be the perfect present!
The Zune 80 is a really good device that I would really enjoy getting. I did some research and it got a 8.3 on Cnet.com and the ipod classic only got a 8.0
Also the Zune has gotten great reviews from other sites such as PC Mag PC World Engaget Cnet and more. GO ZUNE! I hope i win!
i am a previous ipod owner but I like the zune alot better and am now a convert. I would love to get this zune because i have not that money to buy a new zune. Thanks for the contest. I hope i win.
i have the 30 gig in black and i liked it except the fact that it didnt have more memory so if i win it would be great wish me luck
are the new zunes still scratch proof
the ipod came closr to making a a ipod that was thouch sensative and full front screen whith the ipod touch do u think that microsoft will try to give it a shot……i would really like one of those
can u sync more than 1 album at a time to the zune wirelessly and can u do individual songs in a big quantity
which zune is up 4 grabs by the way
srry i missed it it was in blue letters srry hopefully this wont count
Do you know the new zunes maximum wireless distance?
is he back of the zume scratchable like the iPod?
sorry i meant is the back of the zune scratchable like the zune?
BTW, is 2 + 5 = 8
Those who don’t know what I am talking about, go navigate around this website.
Do I win a Zune now? Just fooling around, couldn’t resist (don’t count this post).
And look at that friggin’ screen, OMG I think I just poopied in my pants!
Alot has been made of the “premium” earbuds, how do they sound? This is crucial since there’s no EQ on the device.
This is a great way to promote the new site… I am a reader from Aximsite/MobilitySite and now also GotZune!
This contest will surely give you that critical amt of readers to start with a bang!
how is the bass response on the premium earphones that come with the 80 gigabyte zune
I would love to wind a new zune 80. I have been an owner of the Zune 30 since it was first released. Great Site Chris. Thanks J…
Well I can’t type, I guess that is what happens when you try to multi-task…
I’m doing “finger flicking” exercises in anticipation! That interface seems really cool! Great site, keep up the excellent work!
Syncing over Wi-Fi, does it get any cooler than that?!
Ipod what!
I’ve been waiting for a 30+GB player for over a year now, and the Zune 80 is it! Bring it on!
I like it, I like it alot! (in my best Jim Carrey impression)
r u going to make a part two of the video for the new zune like u did for the first one…….it was extremely detailed
The new zunes are already hard to find because of the resources and I would love to get the new ones.
The New Zune 80 is a great product that is better than the classic but similar to the touch with cool features. I would love the new zune. PLEASE!
Another cool thing about the Zune 80 is that you can turn off the touch pad and just click it this is very nice.
You can put higher resolution on the zune and not even have to convert it to a 320×240 format it also has a built in 740 x 1200 resolution on tv out. Wow. Good job zune.
I would really like the new zune and i apreciate the gotzune website for doing this. Go Zune.
is he back of the zume scratchable like the iPod? QUOTE
To answer your question yes it is very scratch resistant.
thankz jeromy for the answerer
The Zune Software had a complete makeover and works very well.
this may sound weird but i listen to music on the 1st gen zune while i sleep but when i woke up they ripped ……they ripped in the middle between when they first separate the wire and were the actuall earphone is…….can anybody tell me hoe u think this could have happened……p.s i have a cat maybe he did it
Chris Leckness……..can u use the zune 2 as a portable memory drive or what ever u call it
they ripped do you mean they skipped or sounded staticy
I have never had this problem before but i know that when you turn on the wifi while listening to music it buzzes a little bit.
no i dont think that u can use the zune 2 as a portable hard drive but there have been hacks that alow you to.
i mean they literally ripped their unusable anymore
Well, I just upgraded my Zune 30 to 2.2 and I am amazed! After the torture that was installing and synching the version 1 software, I was sceptical about all I had heard about upgrading the firmware. But all they said was true!! Thanks, MSFT!
does the zune still have doubleshot cause it doesnt look like it does
how is the bass response on the premium earphones that come with the 80 gigabyte zune? QUOTE
The Zune Premium Headphones come with the zune 80 for free but not with the flash zunes. The zune headphones before the release got possitive reviews for good sound quality. Plus they are magnetic
It’s so cool if I don’t win it I might have to buy it - zune, zune, zune.
Do you know the new zunes maximum wireless distance? QUOTE
Yes the Average Wireless Distace is about 50 feet with the zune wifi. But I tested mine from alot farther.
This new zune is amazing, got the new the software and loved it especially playing music with the album art in the background, hopefully i win so i can finally have one.
The Zune 80 in particular has me interested because of the Zune Pad and its screen. The whole fusing touch sensitivity with a D pad sounds great. Even if it doesn’t work out well, you can disable the touch sensitivity. It looks like a blast to use.
Cool Post, Thanks Man!
Lulz, Just messin’ there. I love how the new Zune is more solidly built, and you have to love that new enhanced glass screen.
The Hold buttons got nothing on the squircle.
I’d get the new Zune80, but I don’t have the money, however, the Zune30 is only like 80 bucks where I might get it from, Heh.
I still would rather prefer the Zune80, It’s way more, umm, ‘prettier’, then the the first gen Zune.
Hell, I just want to hold one of these new Zune80’s.
Lulz, Jeromy, Your answering all your own question’s. You really want that Zune don’t you?
The best contest on the Interwebs. Congrats to anyone who gets it. **hopes to win it himself**
Just read the IWAPZ review, man do I really want this!
ima win
zune 80gb equals happy
i wanna zune b like 4real
they cheated the original zune owners.the 80 gb zune should had been the first one
dear blog person
pick me cameron as the zune winner
nov 20th is my birthday so it would be nice if i won
count me in. I have the Zune 30 and love it. I’d love the Zune 80 even more. The new software is a bit limiting in some ways but the Zune community has been very outspoken so hopefully the zune team will hear us load and clear and add (back) new features soon.
I appreciate all of the support Got Zune has given to the new products. Keep up the Good Work. This is really cool that you are giving away a brand new zune.
Thanks.
PS: Jeremy (not me) um I am responding to other peoples questions on this post not mine. FYI
the zune should release a zune touch. Does anyone agree? Maybee they should call it “Zune Surface” or Zune Touch.
my birthday is not coming up but it is the one year aniversery of my zune 30 I think. Whatever. I want it!
i heard chris congratulating keith on youtube….congrats
I’d like to be a contributor to the site but I need a zune first - hint, hint
Sweet, I would love a zune 80.
I just got done upgrading my zune 30 to the new firmware and everything went smoothly. I sure could use a zune 80 with all the more space.
Oh, ok Jeromy, and I agree, the Zune Surface does sounds like a good idea, but sounds much like a rip-off of the Microsoft Surface, If thats what you pointing out anyways.
Im sure they’re probaly working on it right now though, hahaha.
Personally I think they’re prolly making a phone, like a pocket pda of somesort’s that will be under the Zune name, that will also be a touch screen, if so that’d be awesome!
@Cameron
No they did not cheat the consumers, it was a first generation product, so you were taking a gamble basically. Thats like getting the first generation ipod which was huge, no color screen, small HDD, etc.; and hoping they stuck with it for a few more years to come. I can’t wait to see what Microsoft will churn out next.
Just wait 5 years from now, They’ll already have a flash memory Zune that’s a touch screen, and thats expandable and has more floods of features, thinner, sexier, and they will call this device the Zune360!
Oh and my birthday was just a few day’s ago and all, and well see i didn’t get the new Zune so, winning it would be nice.
i have always wanted a zune 30. but now this is amazing. i wish i had enough money to get the zune 80. nice site chris. i really enjoy all your mobility site videos. very informative.
I really need to win this everywhere around here is sold out of it! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really need to win this, everywhere around here is sold out of it! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My only reservation is the quality of the construction - meaning will it break from a 4inch fall like my Zune 30
? I really liked my original Zune, I even liked the brown brick style, and if what I’m hearing about the quality of this new generation is true, I might put one of these under my own tree this xmas.
I love my zune but I need to get a new one lol. It does not hold all my music, and yes I have the 30gb. It is great for travelling and is much more durable. I just love the feel of it and the screen is amazing.
LOL wow, thats a lot of comments…
I am loving my Zune, but I do not care for the software at all. It chokes on my collection… sometimes freezing up the machine for a couple of minutes at a time just navigating around. The newer 2.188 doesn’t seem to be any better than the older software either. I really wish i could just copy files back and forth like a USB drive. I know about the registry hack that allows this, but I wish it could be done natively.
I currently own a Toshiba Gibeat S but it’s almost full, another 20 gb should be just about right (at least for awhile).
Hi. I stumbled upon this site while looking more into Zune. so far i’ve been playing my music though my PDA, but am looking into “diversifying” my device repertoire! Zune seems quite well-priced and stylish - so can I win one??
i love the zune more than life itself and am obsessed with it but am too poor to be able to afford one
Please!!!!!!!!!! pick me, I beg of you
LONG LIVE THE ZUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a faithfull follower of the Zune and have followed it from day 1
ZUNE 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m still stuck with a walckman(cassette) player and would die for one of theese
GOD BLESS ZUNE-MERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saved up for two years to get a Zune v1 only to hear there would be a Zune v2, after hearing about it I was estatc and waiting for it to be released, two weeks ago my wallet was pick pocketed at school and I am way too poor to save up for one right now because I have to save for college.
Please pick me!
I went to Walmart yesturday and they did not have it! I think the Zune is sold out or something. This would really be great to have. Thanks Got Zune for the contest.
I also checked Circut City and Best Buy but no luck. Dang Zune you are so hard to get. I think the shortage is because the zune got behind in production. Dang!

Those that are spamming this thread, read the rules. Spamming to get comment count up may get your disqualified. Be careful.
I agree with Cris but you should not ban daniel. He just wants a zune. LIKE ME
I have tried most of the Portable Media Players on the market today. I am very anxious to see how the new Zune compares to what is already available.
Doug

Cameron, just an FYI from Chris’ post…
“To keep folks from spamming comments with “cool post” and “thanks man” comments, I will pass over comments that have no true substance.”
i want to winn
wat comes with the zune
zune is the best thing since slice bread
Rikostan,Fyi
im not spamming im actully typing these comments.
im just trying to win
The key part of what I quoted was “I will pass over comments that have no true substance.”
It doesn’t matter if you are typing the comments or not, if they are just a bunch of “IM GUNNA WIN WORD TO MOTHER” type posts, you will not be eligible to win.
Just letting you know, so you have a chance to win.
I want a Zune sooo bad but I could never afford one on my own
I have always loved the Zune even before I first saw the original v1 and soo happy there is a v2. only thing that stopped me from getting a v1 was my parents and the fact that all my money was stolen
I LOVE ZUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my little brother have always wanted just one Zune to share but even together we had alot of trouble getting one and therefore it still hasn’t happened, this is our only chance of ever getting one
If I am picked I vow to only use my Zune power for good and not for evil
**Congrats to the winner**
I have followed the zune for ever so long and always wanted to get one but there is no chance of me getting one other than in this contest
I have always been faithful to the Zune and stuck up for it during its hardships and bad press
I THINK ANYONE WHO DOESN”T LOVE THE ZUNE IS CRAZY!!
My parents actually got the money to get me a Zune but it was stolen in the mail and they can’t get thier money back and they really can’t afford to buy a new one for me
The Zune is sooo perfect in every way that it even rivals Chuck Norris
**I hear Chuck Norris is jealus of it’s good looks**
You had me at “Welcome to the social”
I heart Zune
My best freind hates Zune
we are no longer freinds for I am devoted to Zune even though I don’t have one (yet hopefully)
I have never wanted anything more in my life not even a doughnut
P.S. I am really fat
I love the Zune so much that I would cherish it more than anything else if I won it
the sad thing is that the most technologically advanced thing in my house besides this computer is a record player/cassette player
I don’t think anyone in this contest wants a Zune more than me
I am s desperate to get a Zune that if I don’t win this contest I might actually have to take out a loan to get one becuase I don’t even have that much money.
I am glad that there other people in the world that love the Zune as much as me
Congrats to the winner
I wish it is me
Ahm wishin ah ween, wishin pon a star
ALL HAIL THE ZUNE
Apple should be at microsoft right now kissing Bill Gates’ feet
Apple should be ashamed
I vow right now that I will never get any music player other than a Zune, even if you paid me to do it
APPLE SUCKS
ALL HAIL THE ZUNE OVERLORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an adolesant and this means more to me than girls
I heard about the guy who got the Zune tattoos and is changing his name to Microsoft Zune
I am deeply ashamed….
….in myself for not thinking of this first
I dream of getting a Zune even though if I don’t win this one I will probably never be able to get one
Has anyone ever noticed how the werd Zune keeps being spelled wrong, well I think that that’s a load of malarky
I have already seen more than twenty Zune unboxing videos and every time I see one I pea myself at the part were the person takes the Zune out of the box
This may be caused be the sheer beauty of the device
Even Chuck Norris likes the Zune better than the peice of crap alternative to the Zune, woops I mean Ipod
Chuck Norris’ say is law
I would probably cry my eyes out for weeks on end if I don’t win this Zune because this is really my only hope of ever being able to get one
I am apalled by anyone who says they loe the zune but haven’t even switched over from thier Ipod yet
I have always HATED the Ipod and knew there was something better out there that would someday arise and destroy the Ipod and Apple completely, it is my belife that this devise is the Zune
I loved the Zune v1 soo much and when I first saw a picture of the v2 Zune I quite literally crapped myself
Microsoft invented the Zune for the same reason guns where made, to destroy evil
ie:Guns kill bad people, Zune kills bad music players(Ipod)
Karl, you arent doing yourself any favors spamming this thread.
I have put the Zune logo on everything I own
I once even shaved it into my hair and the only thing that stopped me in my pursuit to get the Zune logo tattooed all over my body(I planned to get 30) was money the same thing preventing me from getting me one now
My brother tells me that I talk about the Zune in my sleep and curse the fact that I am too poor to buy one
I was about to sell my computer to get enough money for a Zune but right before the transaction was made I realized that I would have no way to get music for it so I am turning to this contest as my last and only hope
I have memorized everything about the new Zune
I have only a 2 foot by 3 foot rectangle of visible wall in my bedroom, the rest is covered with every picture of a Zune that I could find
All the best to the winner
Dear Chris Leckness,
I apologize for putting so many post up and “spamming” this site but this is my only hope of getting one.
P.S. all the best if you win
Dear Chris Leckness,
If you think I am spamming look at what Cameron is posting and if that isn’t spam then I don’t know what is I am just trying to win because I am not a person with money
I promise right mow that I will not post another comment
I saw where there was a post stating that you couldn’t paste album artwork, I was able to do this only on albums that didn’t already have artwork displayed. I just downloaded and saved the artwork to my computer. I then right clicked on the album, selected update album art and navigated to where I’d saved the artwork. FYI - I don’t have a Zune but downloaded the software to get a feel for it, now I just need a Zune . . . PLEEEEEEASE!
FYI - when I tried to paste over incorrectly identified artwork it wouldn’t take (not sure why).
do you ship the zune to the Netherlands? for me is the zune extra special because they aren’t sold here.
Good luck to everyone.
i never had a zune or any other kind of mp3 player
so i hope i win it
Nice contest! hopefully I will have the chance of winning that precious black 80gb zune! Btw, I really like your youtube videos, they’ve helped me on the zune vs. ipod topic, you know… Also that little experiment you were doing is cool, if you want to know how much does the battery last you have to check it by yourself, or well, you already did it
Thanks for the chance!
I flew from DFW to San Diego last night. For the first time ever, a seat mate asked me about my Zune. But here’s the deal, I still have a Zune 30!! Maybe Zune love is in the air!!!
RickH
Regarding the Zune desktip software, I really like the “Now Playing” screen where the album art is tiled in the background - very cool!
The Zune Software is really good and clean compared to the previous version.

Ya at school i showed my zune and everyone really liked it.
I noticed that there are a hell of a lot of people who are trying to win the zune 80 now. I dont blame them! I hope i still have a chance!
I have never won a contest before ever and that is no bs. Winning the zune would be a big surprise! If i won i would be the number one gotzune fan of all time i would probably even join the team. I want it!
Also, when you leave a reply it shows your email Name and URI. What is your URI does anyone know? Thanks.
Damn Karl Casper you posted 44 continuous posts on this forum! Thats almost 25 percent of all of the posts here! Watch it or you might get kicked!
Almost time, Zune me please!
Good luck to everyone.
Will the contest be over tomorow or at 12:00 tonight. Whatever the case i will be keeping up with the Zune Contest news and winner! I hope its me! I love the Zune and again this is a great thing that gotzune is doing.
Does the Zune pause playback when the headphones are removed or external power is cut off?
Obviously the Zune has a bigger screen [compared to the iPod] but which screen is brighter? Sharper? Which one has better contrast?
Can the resolution be upgraded?
Zune has up to 14 hours of battery life when listening to music, and up to approximately 4 hours for video or pictures.
when i first started posting there were only 14 responses but now there are 189 and counting…..wow this is going to be pretty hard to win
how can u guys afford to buy all this stuff and then just give it away
Zune 8 is similar to the former Apple iPod Nano in size. The screen size is 1.8 inches, a little smaller than 2.0 inches of iPod Nano, and the border of Zune 8 is thinner than Zune 30. All of these changes make Zune 8 look better than ever before.
The plastic screen of Zune 30 has been replaced with glass when it comes to Zune 2. This is a major improvement over the Zune 30. And the back of Zune 2 has also been replaced to matte aluminum back. This will prevent the Zune from being tainted with fingerprints and oil and maintains the cleanliness for long time.
The Zune main menu become very large
Zune 30 can also upgrade to the latest menu theme by adopting the method to upgrade firmware. The large characters and the bright glass screen match pretty well.
We know that Zune 30 can only play WMV format, if you have videos encoded in mp4 format, the Zune desktop software will convert it to WMV format while syncing. Zune 2 increased H.264 and MPEG-4 formats, which means that we have more choices while syncing files to Zune.
When iPod touch was first released, many people thought that Zune was going to be over. However, the release of Zune 2 this time will definitely give iPod a heavy hit. With the arrival of Zune 4/8, Zune has enough ability to confront iPod Nano. Though the change from Zune to Zune 2 is not as great as that of from iPod Video to iPod touch, yet the meaning cannot be underestimated.
Zunes rule. Never enjoyed a mp3 player more. Hope I win the new one.
WOW, almost sounds too good to be true, But am very excited! Thank you very much for hosting!
OMG, GotZune is the best! I am friekin so nervous whether or not I am gunna win or lose. Probably lose. Maybee Win. Ether way I love the Zune!
Woot! It’s still the 19th on the west coast! Glad I saw this in time.
oh btw I’m a proud brown zune30 owner!
zune >>>>>>> ipod.
I think luis really wants to win!
I believe that your site is fast becoming my favorite for Zune coverage and information. You *are* a busy blogger!
I bought the Zune30 on release day last year and picked up a brown refurb from Woot, but a new Zune80 would be way cool, though I can’t justify spending the cash for one at the moment.
Tonight’s the night, the anticipation is killing me!
The sexiness of the new zunes is off the charts, so I’d definitely love to get my hands on one for the obvious multimedia experience, but also to tweak, mod and have all sorts of fun with. Thanks for a very informative site!
ZUNES RULE OH YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZUNES RULE OH YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZUNE>>>iPOD
HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY MICROSOFT MAKES AN AWSOME ZUNE PHONE!(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I BOUGHT A ZUNE 30(BROWN) ON THE LAUNCH DAY LAST YEAR. NO ONE HAS EVER REALLY STEPPED UPTO APPLE LIKE THIS BEFORE.MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT ZUNE WAS HORRIBLE AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD GO DOWN BY APPLE. APPLES FIRST iPODS WERE ESPESSIALLY HORRIBLE.
HEY GIVE MICROSOFT ACHANCE I MEAN ITS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED SOMTHING LIKE THIS SO GIVE ZUN A CHANCE AND IT WILL FALL IN THE LEAD(I GARINTEE IT!
ON MY BROWN ZUNE 30 I UPGRADED MY SOFTWARE WITH THE ZUNE 2 UPGRADE. LET ME TELL YA ITS PRETT AWSOME.
A IS FOR APPLLE Z IS FOR ZUNE
HORRIBLE FANTASTIC
SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING ALREADY
Neat to have all of the Zune comments in one place but I still check Aximsite more often.
And ZuneStore.sdf is the key to most media problems so delete it early and often.
I need this 80 GB Zune…my 2gb player just isn’t what it used to be.
YA ME TOO
HEY TOM
ZUNE 2 SOFTWARE IS AWSOME
I had an ipod, then an iriver, and hopefully the Zune will be next. Third time’s the charm.
Is the Zune Marketplace as bad as everyone says? Does it offer video downloads?
I found the 1st-Generation Zune tempting, but quite frankly, it was too ugly.

ZUNE 2
Love to have some Zune goodness, incredible screen, Wi-Fi, slimmer, sexier. I hope I win this!
I wanna buy one of those <$100 zune 30’s on black friday but they’re so…brick-like
Thomas, they aren’t that big. Unless you have freakishly small carny hands, then please disregard my post and let me offer my condolences.
They are nice and light, but without feeling cheap.. at least IMHO.
Even though I like black, I think the Zune 80 should be offered in more than 1 color
Nice blog, this contest should probably really bring life to it.
I don’t own any mp3 players and any at this point would be great.
My final plea! Please, Please, Please! I have nearly 15,000 songs and I’ll re-rip them all just so I can get this Zune.
Same here I have my zune maxed out at the moment and the zune 80 has more than enough space to hold all of my songs and vids. Thanks Got Zune
Only 3 hours and 35 minutes until the winner is picked!
Even though I like black, I think the Zune 80 should be offered in more than 1 color QUOTE
Ya but i think the reason they only release it in one color is because they are low on zune 80 units and are trying to get em out asap. If they had to make more than one color it would be harder to manage.
ZUNE 2 SOFTWARE IS AWSOME (QUOTE JADE)
Ya but you cant edit anything on it. Very frustrating on this issue and should be updated. But other than that the zune software is great!
HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY MICROSOFT MAKES AN AWSOME ZUNE PHONE!(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (QUOTE JADE)
I dont doubt that pretty soon microsoft will release a zune phone but it will be made fun of by apple fanboys and all other companies becuase they dont want microsoft to suceed. (Example look at the zune 1 launch…. everyone made fun of it because they did not want a major commpetitor. The zune 2 is back and steve jobs is scared. The Zune phone is going to have to be just as good as the iphone with a touch interface and looks very cool if not better in order to win against the iphone.
When iPod touch was first released, many people thought that Zune was going to be over. However, the release of Zune 2 this time will definitely give iPod a heavy hit. With the arrival of Zune 4/8, Zune has enough ability to confront iPod Nano. Though the change from Zune to Zune 2 is not as great as that of from iPod Video to iPod touch, yet the meaning cannot be underestimated.
(QUOTE)
If the zune creates a touch next go around they will have to have just as nice of a interface and look. They should call it the zune surface or touch or the italian translation or some other foriegn language translation of the word touch and add that to the zune name.
I can’t possibly fill 80 gb like some of you…about how many songs/videos is that anyway?
its about 20,000 song but i dont know how many videos or pics.
Wow you guys have such big collections of songs.
With a bigger size I might use the video capabilities more. Thats the biggest plus of having a large hard drive in a media player.
K i got the info from the zune website.
80 GB. Holds up to 20,000 songs, or 25,000 pictures, or 250 hours of video.[2]
(Sorry i meant to include this post with the one above)
I was starting to think they weren’t promoting the new Zune at all, but i finally saw a commercial.
this is interesting because the ipod 160 GB can only hold at max 20 hours of video where the zune 80 can hold 250.
Thanks Jeromy… that’s way more music than I will ever need or acquire in this lifetime.
I think the Size differences is based on the format of the video. I think the WMV format is supposed to be smaller in memory size but with little lose in terms of quality.
How long would it take to listen to 20,000 songs? That’s insane! I think the bigger capacity are better for video purposes.
what i like about the new firmware is you can transfer songs from your zune to another computer if they have the new zune software. Ive used this cool feature atleast 5 times sofar. I would try it out if you have not yet. I dont like that you cant edit easily on the new zune software though.
The ipod classic screen seems so small now
LOL. The classic is okay I guess if you are fan of Ipod. I think everyone should get the player that best for them.
Holy….264 comments….I bet all of your comments have doubled now. But now Im officially hooked on the blogs. Gotta have my daily updates ^^
jason dunn over at zune thoughts found out that dynamic search is back. you just start typing. they are still some downfalls with it. but its good that its still there.
about an hour to go. the zune really is a very nice device i really hope i win. even though i have only 4 posts. hope you keep doing great reviews chris.
