Funkmaster Flex and Zune are giving away this tricked-out Ford truck loaded with all sorts of goodies:

Win a 2008 Ford Sport Trac truck designed by Flex and loaded with all the latest tech toys from Microsoft! The custom SUV includes:

  • 8" and 6.5" Kicker speakers in front doors, with custom fiberglass pod
  • 6.5" Kicker components in rear doors
  • Four 8" Kicker subs behind rear seats, installed in a custom sub box
  • Two Kicker amps
  • Car PC powered by Microsoft Windows XP mounted in center console
  • Internet on the go with Sprint wireless AirCard
  • TV on the go with Slingbox
  • Wireless keyboard and mouse
  • Two 7" headrest monitors featuring built-in DVD player
  • One 10" flip-down monitor with VGA input
  • One converted factory screen to display movies, computer, and Xbox 360 in-dash
  • Custom Zune display mount connecting to trailer hitch to display Kicker Zune player
  • Full Katzkin custom interior
  • Suede headliner and interior parts
  • Xbox 360
  • Custom Zune paint job

Now before you get too excited, keep in mind that it's limited to US-only (and you've got to have a valid drivers license, so no kids either). That said, for those of us licensed, US-based drivers, you can enter daily to increase your odds. The drawing is September 8, which as GotZune points out, is the same day rumored for the launch of Zune HD... coool. Good luck to all!

Win a Caprica Zune from Inside the Circle and CNET

"Damn those SyFy people and their Caprica. I think I’m officially done saying this will be my last Battlestar Galactica post because the show will never go away and they’ve gone and done it. They’ve crossed over into gadget land and created an amazingly cool custom Zune complete with the Caprica logo and custom Content. At the fan friendly LA television event PaleyFest09 they screened the premiere of Caprica at the famous Cinerama Dome last night (Monday) and surprised fans by having a 90 minute Q and A... Zune Marketplace will be the only place fans can get this footage from this Q&A session for streaming and download beginning April 28th."

I really should have my nerd card revoked for not knowing what Caprica is (or watching Battlestar Gallactica), but if that means anything to you (and even if it doesn't), we can all appreciate the lure of free stuff. Inside The Circle and C|NET are both giving away a Zune 16 (sorry, US only) with a bunch of Caprica programming and one of the coolest reverse-side tattoos I've seen. They're both closing today, so enter while you can!

Rap With Bun B

Posted by Adam Krebs in "Zune Content Creation & Management" @ 03:30 PM

In continuing with Zune's support of Bun-B (formerly of UGK), the two have announced a new contest for budding armchair MCs to test their skills atop one of the Texas rapper's high-hat and bass-heavy beats. The skippy, Houston-flavored instrumental currently lacks any real interesting sounds, but that's where you come in! Rap, sing, sample, and drum atop the beat, just make sure you've got a) talent, and b) permission from the owners of your materials.



Interested parties can download the horrendously-titled Rap With Bun B (it sounds like the title of the accompanying CD to Alfonso Ribeiro's breakdance set) from the Marketplace, and add their own flow using any audio recording program. Winners (U.S. residents, 18+, drawn at random) will receive a round-trip ticket to Houston to take part in an upcoming compilation project. Read the press release, submit your tracks to Rap-A-Lot records, and may the best rapper win!
