Do you have a Zune 30gig MP3 player?
Posted by Gabe Loewenberg on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 8:44 PM
So, you thought you were going to be cooler than your iPod worshiping friends and buy a Zune? Well, if you 
bought a Zune 30gig you are SOFL right now.
Around midnight on 12/31/08, it seems that every Zune 30gig stopped working. Who's cool now? Microsoft, the maker of Zune, had this to say on the Zune support site:
Customers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune hardware. We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!
I guess it sucks even more to be part of the Zune support team. Looks like those poor schlocks will be working tonight instead of partying like it's 2009. So far, the best theories are that it had something to do with a recent firmware update or that the internal calendar is wonky because this year was a leap year. The later seems like a stretch unless someone really fucked up the programing. Being that it's a Microsoft product, I wouldn't completely toss that possibility out the window yet.
Good luck if you've got one of these things; and if you've gotten it to start working again, let us (and the rest of the small, Zune-loving world) know what you did!
In the event that this is an unfixable problem, just be glad you're not this guy! 
I don't even have words...

Great. Microsoft innovates a new bug, for a relatively new product (one Microsoft year is roughly equivalent to seven human years -- check out the time between OS releases, e.g.), and then only discovers it when it's too late. Procrastination (read: incompetence) seems to be one of their strengths, if not also a social skill. Bad enough that tax payers, consumers and businesses footed a bill totalling hundreds of millions of dollars for their Y2K debacle. (Oh. We forgot the century was turning. Our bad.) Now, owners of their failed "iPod killer" have to suffer yet another insult, beyond a significant degree of insult that obtains from the simple fact of owning a Zune. When does it end? It ends when Microsoft discovers a bug that dissolves their incompetent corporate mismanagement. Oh, wait. That bug was already discovered but, because Microsoft is Microsoft, noboday cared. Except for those zanie Microsoft Kool Aid drinkers who seem to believe that every POS Microsoft creates is touched by Midas himself. Thanks again Microsoft. You're nothing if not consistent.

Hey look, everybody. SkateNY knows how to cut & paste (not to mention "haunt"). http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=skateny+Bad+enough+that+tax+payers&aq=f&oq=
the Zune meltdown would be an especially tough break for people who bought defective X-Box's too

Some time ago, I really needed to buy a good car for my business but I didn't have enough money and couldn't purchase anything. Thank God my sister suggested to try to take the loans at trustworthy creditors. Thus, I did so and used to be happy with my commercial loan.
Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday. Mrs Right learned her lesson! Nice, informative website by the way.
