    WTF Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!

    M$ has balls, My Fiance's 30gb crashed again, and I fixed it, now it crashed again and I can't do anything about this time, I'm tired of MS products crashing, with all the 360's and Zune breaking down, MS should be ashamed of them selves, I mean the Zine breakdown just as much the 360's.

      30GB Zunes mysteriously begin to fail at 12AM, December 31st -- day of reckoning to follow
      http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/30gb-zunes-mysteriously-begin-to-fail-at-12am-december-31st/
      Do you have a Zune 30? If so, does the thing look something like the above? That is to say, stuck at a loading bar and completely non-functional? If so, you are not alone. We've been flooded with tips about users whose 30GB players started locking up at midnight last night, essentially bricking themselves without any help from their owners. The failures are coming 24-hours ahead of the big '09 changeover, but that hasn't stopped Zune aficionados from dubbing this unfortunate flaw "Z2K." No official word yet from Microsoft, but we're guessing a made-for-TV doomsday movie staring Louis Gossett Jr. can't be too far off. Trailer after the break. Update: Jim wrote in to let us know that someone at Microsoft has apparently finally woken up and checked their e-mail (yikes, imagine that inbox). The official Zune site now has a message stating that Redmond's best are aware of the problem and "are working to correct it." We'll keep you posted.Update 2: Major Nelson just tweeted that anyone with an issue "should be good to go." Exactly what that means, however, remains to be seen, as there's still no word of an official fix on the Zune site.Update 3: Oops, sorry for getting your hopes up. Seems the Major was wrong and is now indicating the team of Zune developers is working like mad to figure it out. Somebody had better order in lunch for those guys -- it's going to be a long day.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

          I was just reading that it's been fixed.

          I think all MP3 players crash, can't tell you how many times my Nano crashed in the first 8 months till I got the Touch (which has only crashed 2 times).

              good find, thats exactly what it's doing, In hope this gets resolved fast. Or I have to hear my women my EAR to fix. That's the downfall for being a PC-Tech, everyone thinks you have a bag of magic.

                  I have a sandisk player that has never given me trouble. Weird that it happened today though, unless it's because of it being a 366 day leap year.

                              It sucks but Microsoft isn't the only company that has problems with crashing. My iPod and iPhone have crashed or froze way too many times.

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                                      I wonder why it's happening to everyone.

                                      Like the articles said, Y2K is upon us.

                                                  I still have a Dell DJ 20G from like 4 years ago. It's not the greatest, but I refuse to buy an iPod and have to use solely Itunes, and noone else has come out with a great alternative player.

                                                      I've never had an mp3 player freeze or lock-up on me. The worst thats ever happened to me is if I leave it in the car overnight when it gets real cold out it kills the battery.

                                                          I'm convinced that at least some of these electronics have internal working clocks.

                                                          I always bring it back to years back when my sister and I each got a brand new Sony Discman for Christmas.

                                                          Two years later, on the very same day (though, these things never shared a CD or were close to each other) the devices broke down for no reason.

                                                          Both working perfectly the day before and just like that, couldn't play a CD even if you powdered cocaine on it's working parts.
                                                          "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                                                          "You'll not find more penny-wise/pound-foolish behavior than in Major League Baseball." - Rob Neyer
