UPDATE - Contest Closed Early. Thanks for all the entries.
OK, so I have to admit that I am disappointed that there is not a blue color choice for the Zune 120 or even the Zune 80. It is cool that they made a Zune 8 in blue, but I can't use an 8GB player so it does me no good. I would unbox it and all that good crap, but someone already has and... well, you've seen an 8gb Zune, so why bother eh?
Well, because of the fact that it does me no good, I am going to throw mine to one of you Mardi Gras style. Just post a comment here on this post and you are entered to win. Since these blue ones aren't "supposed" to be available for purchase yet, I will get this one out pretty quick. We'll make it a quick contest. Deadline will be September 12th at 3pm CST.
I currently own 7 Zunes and I have give away 10-12 across my sites, and now I have this one. This 8gb Blue Zune the 1st Zune that I didn't pay for. This one is the only one Microsoft has provided me and will probably be the last.
So, just leave a comment and cross your fingers on September 12th, 2008. Make sure your email address is reachable. The prize is only an unopened Blue 8gb Zune. No service is included.

I have to agree it would have been nice if MS would have added Blue to the 80/120GB Zune.
Sounds great. I hope I win this. I love this site, great way to get Zune info.
Heh, don’t know if authors can enter, but my bro sure wants a zune 8.
Can’t believe your giving this one away so soon! Must’a been hard to resist the urge to unbox. 
I love the blue but I agree MS should have offered up this color on the 120/80GB Zune. Still, I wouldn’t mind winning this bad boy.
Some would say the color came from a Crayola box, but my, is that royal shade of blue sexy on the little bugger! It’s almost retro-looking, somehow.
I want that blue Zune!!!
Count me in; I would dearly love a Zune 8 t go running with.
I am in.
I sure could use a Blue Zune, it would be great, I would use it all of the time!
If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half; how long would it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?
ZUNE RULES!!!!
…And stuff.
Wouldn’t mind upgrading, my sister covets my green Zune.
I think im in need of an 8 gig, my iPod ran out of room for my music and zunes seem pretty legit
Ooh! I would love to have one. Saw my friend with Zune and really liked it. =)
I all ready have a zune, but I have lots-o-iPod friends who will be so envious of the new upgrades that they’ll all be begging me for this zune (if I win)…
Wow, Chris! You’ve been asking for a blue Zune for so long and now that you’ve snagged one, you’re giving it away to your readers. You are truly generous. I’d love to own a Blue Zune. I don’t yet own a flash based mp3 player and this would be the perfect one to start with.
I have to say that blue zune looks pretty dang cool
is it just me or do these new zunes seem to be glossy as opposed to the flatter black etc.
@Jaxim Thanks man. Yeah, I want a Blue Zune for myself, but I need a larger capacity. Finally getting a blue one in the 8gb size and not the 120 or 80gb is really quite bittersweet and really pisses me off. I can’t understand why they can’t have a 120gb when they have an 8gb version. It just doesn’t make any damn sense.
If i put it under my pillow, will the Zune Fairy replace it with a 120 GB model? ah well… worth a try. Id gladly take it off your hands for you.
Zunes rule! I’m seeing more and more people these days with a Zune.
@Chris Did you try asking zune team about this? Was there any sort of reasoning? I can’t imagine why you couldn’t make the zune 120 or zune 16 blue.
I’d love to win a blue zune and think its really great that your doing this. Can’t wait for 3.0
A blue Zune would really rock!
i want blu zune
once again i want blu zune
A blue Zune FTW!
I’ve been wanting a new zune so bad, this blue one rocks. hope i win. thanks for your generosity
I would LOVE to have this Zune!
I want it!
That being said, I never win anything :/
Blue zune me
Ooh. The blue color looks pretty cool. It’s like an electric blue that really pops out. This 3.0 update is pretty cool, with the multiple different ways to discover new music! Great use of the wi-fi too.
I like blue . . . count me in!
Blue is a good color, and I’m in need of an 8 gig.

Would love to have a blue 8gb Zune, a smaller Zune is better for my workouts.

Love to have a blue zune!
This zune is mine, it matches my clothes, my room color, my persona, my everything! Azure blue is my favorite color and this would be a great item to have!
I love the look of the blue zune.
I want it!!!
Wow, thanks! I can’t wait until the v3.0 firmware/software update!
A nice change from the standard color, and my favorite
Thanks for the chance!
the new update looks great. can’t wait for the 16th.
hey nice contest, good luck to all who enter this contest!
Wow, cool, thanks! I can’t wait for the firmware/software update next week!

Edit: Yup, it was a double post. My original post didn’t show up for a while. I’m very sorry!
Count me in… Can’t wait for the blue color. Will match my blue walls perfectly.
I’m in XD
And Chris….why may it be your last?
I’m almost blue (apologies to Elvis Costello) but I could really be blue if I won this Zune…
I am a huge Michigan Wolverine fan so this is my Zune! Go Blue!!!!
You’re my Zune, blue!
I have to say, I like the blue color….but agreed, too bad that the zune 120 only comes in the form of the Ford Model T color philosophy…any color you could possibly want as long as it is black.
I’ve been planning to get my daughter a Zune for her birthday. Her favorite color is green, but I think this blue Zune looks sweet.
Are writers allowed? if so, throw me in.
Man that looks like Wildcat Blue, University of Kentucky that is…
its my bday today (it really is)!!! i love the blue zune!!!
Chris, I have to tell you. I have a 30 GB Video iPod right now but I really like what Microsoft has been doing lately with the Zune. As a broke college student, I would love to try out the Zune platform but really can’t afford to at this point.
Being able to kick it off with a new sharp looking blue one would be sweet!
omfg zune takes a dump on the ipod anyday =) blue zune ftw

keep on keep en on chris
I would love to have this
I can’t believe they’re putting all these features on every single Zune. It just really shows that the investment I made two years ago was totally worth it.
I really hope we see more by way of XNA soon, though.
I’m glad they are upgrading the firmware and software. All of it for free too! I like that the new blue color isn’t a dark blue instead its a bright intense blue.
Well, another little disappointment, but at least there is some forward progress …
Count me in. Great contest!
i wanna win
Blue Zune me to the moon! - Dad’s got 80GB black…son needs the new blue 8-
pick me!!!11!!
I love the new wi-fi features that were announced for the new zunes and i cant wait to get my hands on one.
i had 6 different ipods and they all broke on me so when my warrantee ran out i went and bought a zune 30. it gave mo no problems and now i am the proud owner of a zune 80 and i have not had to take it to customer service once. Zune > iPod!
I’ll put my hand up for one of those!
I would love a shiny blue Zune!!!!!
Oooh. The blue zune looks really nice.
Great!
I’m in…well, my wife is. I have a Zune and it’s made her hate her iPod.
Will these updates be 2.6 or a new line of Zunes, 3.0? Either way the blue Zune looks awesome.
This would be wonderful!
This would go great with my blue suede shoes!
This would be my first Zune…Gotta try the interface. Let Me Win!
Definetly count me in for this one! nice of you to give it away in a contest thx
I love what the zune team is finally doing and very excited
Very bright color blue. I would love to try out a Zune and give it a chance. PICK ME!
count me in on this new contest.
Ms 120 blue is a must.
man i would love to have this blue is my favorite color and my red 8’s screen cracked so it’s unusable. been forced to use my ps3 as an mp3 player for months now
*crosses fingers*
Blue Zune 8 looks niiiice.
This is my entry
I’m allergic to red.
Never used a Zune before. Would like to try
Zunes rule, Ipods drool!
yes please! Love the blue!
You’re my boy, Blue!
I love these contests!
WOW! I would love a blue zune. Looks like Microsoft is stepping up their game.
I’ll take a zune pleeeease…
One word: BLUE!
That player sure do got a purty mouth.
Man, that thing is awesome… I’ve been wanting a zune ever since I started watching all you videos on them. I’m curious about that zune pad.
hope I win!
Zunes are the best
Very Nice, good luck everybody, can’t wait for Sept 16 for the Zune 3.0 update!
Looks nice but I’m interested in what changes Microsoft will make in v3 and when news will be made available.
The blue Zune looks really awesome. I haven’t had too much experience with a Zune other than in-store and playing around with my friends Zune, but I like what I see. Microsoft seems to be making them better all the time. I’d ditch my old nano for this beauty. =]
Greetings from Vietnam. I update Zune News daily at my site too, itech.vn.
=]
Mmmmmm… blue Zune…
That is defiantly the best color of blue that they could have used in my own opinion!!!
I just bought my zune like 80 GB zune like 1 month ago and now they are saying 120 GB for 249?…If only I knew about this sooner =/…
that blue zune would be a great one for my mom on her BDAY
The green is dead!
Long live the blue!
Count me in! Looks great!
a nice blue zune would be nice
Itd be nice to have something other than my blackberry for listening to my tunes. Good luck to everyone posting
you’re my boy blue!
me wwant one
Go Zune I say …. and blue IS the colour
I really like the blue color, but it is a shame that it is limited to the flash based Zune. That said, I sure wouldn’t turn down a free one.
The blue Zune is pretty hot, and 8gb is exactly the size I like!
Hey, i would love this for my girlfriend so we could share the zune experience!
Oh man this is gonna be hard. Well I really would love one of these Zunes because i’m a high-tech chick who comes from Australia who unfortunatly cannot get her hands on a Zune at all.
I know theres gonna be heaps of people going for this, but i’m crossing my fingers. I created an online petition this time last year to try and get the Zune to be released worldwide, so far its only reached 800 signatures and despite all the emails to Microsoft they still can’t comment.
*crosses fingers and toes* if you read this and are considering, please I would love to get this Zune, I would pay for the postage!
Yours Sincearly,
Sian-lee
I like the new zune.
Hey, yeah, this sounds cool. Put my name down.

/rolls dice
ohpleaseohpleaseohplease
I have a 1st gen ipod nano right now, but I’m thinking of getting an upgrade. The zunes are starting to look pretty tempting and I’d love to have one. Also, blue is my favorite color!
If I don’t win one, I’m buying one on the 16th for my wife. I’m going to get a 16GB for myself, as my 30GB is too big to wear on an armband at the Y.
Thanks for the chance to win!
My wife would love it? Does that work?
I am not going to win, because I never do. But in my dreams I would like to have this, even if it has only 8 GB.
Wow, looks awesome.
My old ipod’s a brick compared to current devices, and I never ended up needing most of the space on it. A smaller media player would be absolutely wonderful.
wow audio book support is just what I wanted, this will rock
my brother just got a red 80 and now I want 1
Cant wait to see If I win, BTW when is he announcing the winner? ZUNES FTW
I WANNA WIN ONE XD!!! It would be an honour to recieve it. XD
I’ve been meaning to get a new one to replace my 30gig for a while now. I only really need around 8 gig for my music anyways!
This would be a nice to have
That would be great! I’m on a POS 2GB Cheapo, so an upgrade would be a dream come true!
