So, exactly 12:00 GMT last night, all the Zune 30 gig worldwide re-booted, then froze on the loading screen. Earlier today a press release from Microsoft stated: "We were made aware of a widespread issue facing owners of Zune 30 devices this morning. We have a technical team working hard to isolate the issue right now and will update everyone as much as possible. Thanks for your patience while we get to the bottom of this."- Paul Davison. This is yet another problem that Microsoft has faced with it's devices. Back in 2006 a large number of Microsoft's Xbox 360s broke down and it cost them 1.1b in repairs for 360 owners.
Microsoft has stated they are getting close to a fix, but until then, us 30 gig users just have to wait. On a positive side, there has been reports of a hard fix for the Zunes, but the fix involves breaking the case open to access the battery...In which the warranty gets automatically voided.
Way to go...
