Engadget's relaunch giveaways: the final Zune

Ok everybody, we have the winner for the fourth Zune on Engadget -- Taylor S guessed the correct number of Zune stories we published last month (18), congrats! Thanks again to everyone who entered, and the good news is you've got one last shot at a Zune, which, as you may or may not have heard (and we do sincerely hope you fall in the first camp), is Microsoft's new vertically integrated portable media player device (and platform) centered around "connected entertainment." You should know by now where to go for all the specs and details, but it's a 30GB portable media device with built-in WiFi for sharing music with your pals and interacting with media on the go. Engadget's hooking up a few very lucky people with a Zune. Want to be the first among your friends -- hell, among the first ever -- to get one?

We're giving away one Zune per week for five weeks; snagging one will get progressively more difficult, and since this is our last Zune giveaway contest, you're gonna have to work for it a bit. This one's going to the person (or group) that writes the best Engadget theme song. We're looking for the catchiest tune or jingle about Engadget, with words or without -- but it should be fun (or funny), decently well produced, and capture the spirit of Engadget. (Note: we may use your tune on the Podcast or at our events -- with credit, of course!) When you're all done send it in to zunecontest at engadget dawt com (please, no entries over 10MB or they'll bounce.) Have your entries in by 11:59PM EST Sunday, the 29th to be eligible. Engadget's editors will select the track that takes home the prize. As always, please mind the rules!

• You may enter other Engadget contests, however...
• You may only enter this contest once; if you enter more than once on this particular contest post you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter future Engadget relaunch giveaway contests though!
  
• You can only win once. (If you win and then try to go for a second prize during our relaunch giveaways, you'll be automatically disqualified, etc.)
• This contest is open to the US only -- sorry, Microsoft's rules!
• You will be shipped your Zune when Microsoft ships you your Zune (and no sooner), so sit tight, it might be some weeks before it comes!

Good luck, and be sure you've entered our other contests, as well!

• Win a VidaBox SLIM for the best Halloween costume!
• Seriously, you can win a Philips 42PF9631D 42-inch plasma
• Win yourself a Slingbox PRO
• Xbox 360 Premium Pack here!
• HD has a Helios X3000

just wondering, do people who leaves comments here know they're suppose to make a theme song to enter the contest or are they just posting they want one?

by the way what rhymes with engadget other than gadget?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2006 1:11PM]

@ Christian....

its a stretch, but maybe hatchet, Bob Cratchet, latch it, ratchet.... like i said a stretch.

Definitions of Paget: (pronounced Padget)

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2006 1:37PM]

I think I'll take a look at some of those Engadget Commercials, and find a theme to fit one, perhaps. Giving them credit, of course! But seeing as they already won something, maybe I'll get to keep the prize. =P Or maybe i'll just write a silly little poem...hmm...

"You can search far and wide
You can drain your bandwidth dry!
But you'll never find a blog so fine,
no you'll never find a blog so fine
'cause Engadget's the...(*thinks*) finest swine(!?)

You can browse those fancy sites
or listen to the fanboys
but the only blog
thats worth to log
comes from the Engadgets!"

Yeah, totally ripped off that jingle from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It's the best I can think of while in my Econ class, though. And I couldn't think of anything to rhyme with fine other than swine. =

[LLCoolWas Posted Oct 17th 2006 1:42PM]

i would gladly pay you tuesday for a zune today...

jk... but i will take one for free :)
