The Vudu credit is self explanatory, but I don’t know if the 3-month Rhapsody subscription is for new customers only (like Google Play All Access does their promotions) or it can be appended to an existing subscription for existing Rhapsody paying subscribers.

Refurbished 16GB Zune HD for $60 w/free S&H
The slow resurgence of digital audio players is also bringing back to the surface some older models such as 16GB Zune HD, available in manufacturer refurbished condition for $60 with free shipping by the Digital Outlet eBay store. Over 760 units got sold so far from this particular eBay offer. The description says this is in “like new” condition, has a 60 day warranty (does not say from whom), and a headset is NOT included.
Back in the day when this was a “current product”, I was close to getting a Zune HD, but Microsoft pulled the plug on the whole Zune project just as I was deliberating which one to get. They also had a fun Zune-themed music podcast that also got lost in the Zune shuffle 🙁 At that time I was so frustrated with Rhapsody’s Windows desktop client, syncing subscription music to the Sandisk devices (Clips and Fuze) was an exercise in frustration (to put it very politely), so I was looking for alternatives.
