Oh sleepy day. I’ve been cleaning my house half-awake, listening to downtempo. I hope you all are more prepared for the holiday onslaught than myself.
So before everything hits, I wanted to take advantage of the Christmas Eve lull to formally announce the next installment of Reader Response, our Holiday SPECTACULAR edition. We’ve got a lot of good stuff for you all this week.
We’re under the assumption that quite a few of you will be receiving iPod’s for Christmas. It seems to be a default gift. We have, therefore, amassed a bunch of accessories that will help you in your acclimation to the device. First up we have five ifrogz gift cards worth $36 each. Which is more than enough for a case and shipping. There is little question that ifrogz makes the very best iPod cases available. They’re fully customizable and quite attractive. I should also note that if you’re a slacker (like me) and looking for an absolute last instant Christmas gift for someone, you can get a virtual gift certificate from ifrogz.
We also have some headphones from a little company you may have heard about called Ultimate Ears. We’re giving away two pairs of Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 Studio headphones worth $99 each. Ultimate Ears are essentially the ultimate addition to any MP3 player. They make the best earbuds I’ve yet to try—I use the super.fi 5 Pros.
So this is how it’s going to work. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, we’ll be selecting one person to win an ifrogz gift card. Then on Wednesday and Friday, one lucky winner will be receiving both a gift card and a pair of Ultimate Ears headphones. Don’t ask why we’ve chosen those particular days. I assure you highly advanced algorithms were used in deciding the most effective days for giving away each prize (read: the decision was completely arbitrary and I decided the order last night while delirious drunk on Johnnie Black).
The rules are as always. Commenters will be judged on both frequency and quality of comments. To win, you absolutely must enter your email address in the commenter information field. We will not select anyone who hasn’t entered an email address.

Wow, this Christmas just gets better and better, the review of the super fi ear buds came at the right time, I need new ones, the old have been through the grinder. Thanks for the great information.

Funny thing, I have been following CrunchGear religiously via my bloglines account for quite some time. But this is the first time since the holiday extravaganza started that I decided to come over and start commenting. I guess the Ultimate Ears headphones really got my attention.
Thanks for all the great info on all things techy. Here’s to a great 2007 of CrunchGear! :)
(And to whoever won the Nikon camera, you’re going to love it. I have had a D50 for about 16 months now and can’t use it enough. Of course, now you’ll want to spend thousands of dollars on Tripods, Lenses, etc - but that’s all part of the fun. Anyhow, great camera. Let us know what you think of it! :))

More presents–wow! o.O You are spoiling us. I’ve always wondered how those in ear headphones feel–blocking out annoying other people while making music clearer seems a great thing to me!

Cool… won’t be as much of a comment poster as last time (family is here now) but will try to get something! Too bad ifrogz.com don’t produce D40 cases ;-)
May the best monster commentator win!

Hey Jon, if you read this, tell me whatcha think about your D40. I love my D50 and think you’ll really enjoy the D40.

I love the holidays and this is a great giveaway! Except it’s a bummer to fly during the holidays…people have labelled it the “holi-delays”, haha. :)

Hi Paul, I will send in a review to CrunchGear when I get the D40… from the research I have done, many photographers prefer the D50 over D40 for one simple reason… autofocus in the lense comes standard. Otherwise, they think it’s amazing - until you get a few guys in there with the D80 saying different - oddly enough, many of which upgraded from a D70 ;-)
D80 is about 2x the price by the way, this being my first SLR - don’t expect me to be too technical… other then the photography class I took in high school 15 years ago, I am quite green to digital photography. As for me, I got 0 to complain about, I got it free doing what I love to do anyhow - giving my two cents on everything and pissing a few people off in the process ;-) I should also be getting my DV9040us around the same time from Santa, so should have lots to write/complain about.
