And the winner of the metal slider case was....

BlakeBritton!

Congratulations to Blake, and stay tuned for more contests in the near future!

To celebrate the new Zune 3 updates, were going to be doing a little case giveaway! This go around it's for the previously reviewed Chrome Metal Slider Zune 80/120 case.

The Prize:

(1) Chrome Incipio Metal Slider Case ( for zune 80/120)

The Rules:

This go around it's a tad different. For a shot at this contest you'll need to go to the GotZune.com forums, and post in this thread. When I randomly choose the winner, he/she is required to have 3+ posts.

Deadline:

October 6th 2008

As you might have seen in the "" post, I am wrapping both of these contests up early. Sorry to anyone that didn't make it to enter.

I also need to apologize. There are less cases left than I thought and they are all for the Zune 80/120. The 4/8/16GB usable cases are gone. I am really sorry for that.

Anyhow, the 5 winners are:
Juice702, Ozzy Gomez, Leif902, vuurflits, and Dragonx C39

Contact me via the contact form with your name, mailing address and phone number and i'll get these out to you asap.

I am just ready to be done with this, so I am moving up both of the contests. The winners of the "The "Before I Go" Zune Case Contest…" should be picked tonight if I get a chance. (Son has baseball game tonight) The winner of the Blue Zune 8 is being announced RIGHT NOW...

Drum Roll Please.... Out of more than 350 comments, The winner of the Blue Zune 8 is "drew Henson". I picked comment #92 because I was chatting with a friend named Matt Miller and was talking to him about how I need to visit Whidbey Island next time I am in Seattle. I was stationed there in 1992. Drew, contact me via the contact form asap with mailing address, phone number, etc...

About the Future of GotZune...
I got a great response to my call for someone to take the helm so I can bail. These details will work themselves out behind the scenes and those involved will let you guys know. Hopefully my last post will be tonight when I announce the winners of the cases.

What has GotZune Done?
I am very proud to announce that GotZune jumped out FAST in the 10 months it's been online. We have over 500 RSS Subscribers. We average 1100 unique visitors a day and just over 2k page views a day. I have received over 100 emails from Youtube users thanking me for showing them comparisons between iPods and Zune in a non-biased (if that is possible) way. I feel that GotZune has done a good job covering the Zune World in a different way than a typical blog. It was fun and I am very happy that at least the readers appreciate the efforts put forth here. This appreciation is evident in the emails and comments here when I announced I was stepping aside here. Thanks.

Where does Chris go?
Well, nowhere really. You can still check me out on my personal blog or Mobilitysite. I might throw a rant, rave, or video of Zune stuff on either of those two. I might eventually buy a 120gb Zune of my own and do the 101st Zune 120 unboxing on youtube or something. Thanks for all the support of GotZune over the last 10 months. I hope you enjoy the folks that follow in my footsteps here.

Congrats "Drew Henson" for winning the Zune 8!

UPDATE - Ended contest early. 

I have a stack of Incipio Zune cases that we've reviewed here at GotZune that I have been waiting for the right time to give away in a contest. Well, since I am stepping out of here, this would be that right time... Right?

Simple... I have various cases for various models. (no 30gb cases though) So, rather than hold several single case contests, let's do it like this. Just reply to this thread with what Gen 2/3 Zune you want to protect and I will go down the list of the cases and randomly pick winners. If the winner I pick has the model I looking for a winner for, they win. If not, I go to the next random entry.

Deadline: September 16, 2008.

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 am incredibly sorry for the delay here. I was supposed to give this one away on my Birthday, March 21, but I got tied up on the Mobilitysite upgrade that I let this one slip my mind. (hey, at least I am honest about it... hehe)

Anyhow... the contest had a great turnout and my son picked a random number between 1-188. His number was 10. I could leave it at that and let you run to the Contest Page to find out who it is, but that would be mean. So... Here goes... The winner is... drumroll please... Tyler Farrer.

Shoot me any email Tyler and congrats.

OK, sorry for this, but the other contest is canceled. Between GotZune and Mobilitysite.com, there was too much confusion about the rules. In fact, one reader wants to sue me for him not winning already. hehe... Well, here is the new details.

The Prize:
(1) Zune 4gb in Green

The Rules:
Man, it's not going to get any easier than this one. Simply reply ONE TIME in this thread with the reason you want to win. We will randomly select one winner on my birthday, March 21st.

PS. If you want a chance to win an 80GB Red Zune, Visit Mobilitysite.

This contest is canceled, go here for the new version of this contest.

I took this idea from a contest I did last year on Mobilitysite...

The Prize:
(1) Zune 4gb in Green

The Rules:
Simple... Just follow the feed or site and watch for keywords that will be highlighted in PINK. Keep up with these words. In a couple weeks, I will post the last PINK word and it will complete a sentence. (I will make a comment in that post that the last PINK is there) The 1st person to correctly recite that sentence in the comments for the last post will win.

The 1st PINK word is coming right now.... THE.

That's it... Win Win!

This one might upset a couple folks, and if it does, I apologize in advance. After a long thought process that involved 3 names, I have come up with the winner of this contest.

The winner is Kaseyart. He is the winner of the 4th GotZune Contest.

Thanks to everyone that participated in this one. I can tell you that the next one will be a little different and somewhat random. It will also be for the 4GB Green one that my daughter is NOT getting.
