On Thursday’s episode of the First Ring Daily podcast, I discussed giving away my original Zune.
It’s in good shape. The box is a bit beat up, but I have the charging cable, the original headphones, and the (black) device itself. I believe it works fine, no promises on battery.
To enter to win, just reply to this thread with the words “I’d like the Zune” (and only the words “I’d like the Zune”, with no quotes) before 1 pm ET today and I will randomly select a winner. There’s no purchase necessary—by which I mean you don’t have to be a Thurrott Premium member—and the gift has no inherent value, it’s just sentimental. There’s no location restriction, I can ship this anywhere the US Postal Service ships.
I ask only that you respect and preserve it.
Thanks!
Paul

The problem is, the Zune may already have been shipped outside the US, depending upon the location of <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/users/scottib62">scottib62 </a></p>

<p>I'd like <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/users/scottib62">scottib62 </a>to send me the winning Zune, so that I can compare it against the pathetically atrocious iPod, with a view to sledgehammering the despicable iPod.</p>

<blockquote><a href="#124934"><em>In reply to OhSoMuchFun:</em></a></blockquote><p>Yes, what a truly unexpected announcement by Microsoft. Never did I believe even for a slightest moment that the Zune was dead.</p><p>And so Microsoft has done us proud by revealing the immensely unbelievably awesomely jaw-dropping captivating device that puts all other devices of this genre to shame – welcome to Zune VR. WOW !!!</p><p><a href="https://www.thurrott.com/users/OhSoMuchFun">OhSoMuchFun</a> I shall have this Xmas with my newly acquired Zune VR. Can't wait !!!</p>
