… apparently all the zunes were supposed to die yesterday or today … until … well pretty soon… but idk why?
its pretty weird.
mine sure as heck did, and i can’t do anything to it, its just sitting plugged into my computer charging.
oh, almost forgot, they will turn back on today … in a few hours actually…
Something about the clock in them being messed up because of the leap year. Everyone with the 30gig Zune has the problem. I think its hilarious.
its pretty funnny, but how can it just go bonk? why not just go to the next day or something?
Who ever did the programing for it messed up.
I’m suprized they didn’t fix this problem before it came up.
Microsoft. Duh!
The only fix would have been to not make those pieces of crap at all. Especially not in such appropriate colors.
Haha I had to google “Zune” just to find out what it is! Looks like Apple may have some decent competition; that’s a good thing it should bring prices down! I especially like the HUGE video screen and supposedly very good quality playback. I’m liking the Zune 80. Largest video screen and has 80GB hard drive
Up to 20,000 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 250 hours of video.
the zune isnt really competition.

And check out the Zune vs Ipod “prizefight”: CNET: Product reviews, advice, how-tos and the latest news
no seriously, IMO, the zune is complete crap of an audio device.
What the hell, it’s only a couple C notes. I’ll try one and post my review, lol. 
They are both the same proprietary pieces of crud.
If I were to get a new ipod or a zune, id go with a zune though. Unless I was getting an old ipod, cause id rockbox it right away.
Actual competition:

You have to be a pretty hardcore Microsoft apologist to be a fan of the Zune.
and how is the IPOD not? your battery is programmed to die after a specific certain amount of time.
i worked at circuit city, and even w/ all the crap i had to earn by selling ipods i liked the zune 10x more than the ipod… and the samsung players killed everything, but only came up to 8 gb while i was working there
and $100 for a white (not brown!) 30gb zune is a deal that i somehow managed to pull off… and can’t be beat.
Really? I’ve had my iPod for 3 years…
I offer my heartfelt apologies to anyone who has one of the overpriced, over rated, mostly unknown wannabees linked above. 
Jk. If you actually own one of these, please give us your review(s).
Good quality reviews by not-coerced-to-write-favorable-review folks: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/reviews/review-index.php
Haha yeah they seem to be totally unbiased…except when it comes to Apple! Look at the name of the site: anything but ipod.
You may also note that they don’t review Apple products.
I’ve got one from 5 years ago and the battery still work to its full potential.
Yeah, that’s my point! Why are they singling out Apple for non-review? Could it be that they think Ipods are so critic-proof that they don’t need to include them, or the reverse?
