Have any of you that own one experienced this yet?
30GB Zunes Killing Themselves In Droves By Charlie Sorrel EmailDecember 31, 2008 | 10:02:31 AMCategories: Anxiety
Zsod The internet is awash with reports that the 30GB Zune is committing suicide across the planet. Not just one of them, either. It seems that some weird bug is simultaneously killing the music players, like lemmings leaping from a cliff.
Speculation is of course centered around the timing. It is New Year's Eve, after all, and the conspiracy nuts are calling this Z2K (with or without a +9 at the end). Our own NYC Bureau Chief John C Abell prefers the idea that it is "Brilliant Microsoft DRM Technology", which would be the most hilarious explanation.
The reports say that the units are simply freezing and won't respond to anything. Grunfloz at the Zune.net forums:
From what I can tell it looks like every Zune 30 on the planet has suddenly crashed. Is this a virus? A glitch? A time bomb? A disgruntled Microsoft employee? Planned obsolescence to make us buy a new one? Or just a terrorist plot to drive the free world crazy?
We're digging into this, but it's likely we'll have to wait for an official response from Microsoft. At least it's not the iPod. If it was, we'd likely wait a couple months before Apple got around to fixing it.

it only effected the 30g ones. it had something to do with the internal clock & the leap year. they all work now after being recharged & rebooted on Jan 1st. i love my zune. i would not trade it.
