But slow sales and the rise of smartphones meant it couldn't compete in the same market as Apple's incredibly popular digital music player. Microsoft launched the Zune in 2006 to compete with Apple's iPod, which had been around for five years at that point. In honor of #GotGVol3 we're giving away this never opened Microsoft Zune. The giveaway is only available to residents of the United States. You just need to retweet the post for a chance to win. Microsoft said in the tweet that it doesn't know if the Zune it is giving away still works, but it's likely that many people would want to win an unopened one (and sell it, probably). The device plays a massive role in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. The Zune also appears in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. ![]() He explained that "it's what everybody's listening to on Earth nowadays. ![]() It's the same retro MP3 player that Chris Pratt's Star-Lord jokingly received as a gift from Kraglin in the second film as an upgrade over his Walkman.
