Rejoice: Microsoft Zunes have magically fixed themselves

You're not going to get shit. Just wait for the class action lawsuit and see what happens then (probably nothing.) Because lord knows, every time there is a problem with any piece of technology, you know there is going to be a class action suit coming.

How much do you want to bet the lawsuit gets tossed out of court on a technicality or somesuch nonsense?

People own these?

....

I am pissed cause I ended up opening up my zune to yank the battery out cause I was unwilling to wait for the battery to die.

Then again, I did that prior to finding out that his happened to EVERY 30 gig zune.

Really? You want money because your Zune stopped working for a day? You're really that bummed?

It was New Years Eve. Unless you're one of those clam shell people who sit in the corner with their headphones on while people party, was it really a problem? Stop being drama queens. I'm sure you can live a day without Linkin Park.

I can sum up my thoughts by saying, you're a dick.

@ main topic
Seriously, Microsoft should give users some kind of small compensation for this. A bug like this is inexcusable considering we're 9 years past Y2k and all Microsoft had to do to test this issue was to set a 30GB Zune's clock ahead to Dec. 31st to see if anything happens. Its sad when forum trolls figure out the cause of a problem before Microsoft does (though thats becoming more and more the case).

I'm going to sue them for letting them work again too soon. I wanted a nice long incident to keep track of and argue about.

I gave my Zune 30 to my cousin last week after getting a Zune 80 for X-mas. chances are he had no idea what happened, its new years, he was too busy having a good time to to notice probably

Compensated for missing a day of music, thats just sad, really. please this was just a fun lil bug, not some RRoD-type catastrophe. man the fuck up and move on.

I'm with Rainbow black. While I was a little annoyed that I couldn't use my 30 gig for the rest of my overnight shift at work. I don't see any reason to expect compensation from MS over it. This ISN'T another RROD it was just a minor issue that fixed it's self the next day.

well thank god they don't make software for cell phones or operating systems, phew!

Wow. Talk about much ado about nothing.

I looked at the source code, and there was faulty logic that sends it into an infinite loop on Dec. 31 of every leap year. This is going to be fixed with the next firmware update, I"m sure.

Is this similar to the RRoD? Not even close.

Is this worthy of a class-action lawsuit? Not unless you're nothing but a greedy slug.

Is this another black eye to Microsoft? Could be. Add it to the list.

Is it worth expecting compensation because of the inconvenience of not being able to listen to one's music for a 24 hour period? No. It's sound waves, not food and water, and it lasted for a day. (Oh, noes!!!!!)

Is the product "defective" because of this? No. Certainly not to the level of an RRoD. The product had a hiccup but it's working fine now. That does not qualify as "defective" in my book.

Is it worth flaming Microsoft or spouting self-righteous iPod comments? Hell, no!

Now, can we all get back to gaming, please?

Looks like MS got lucky for once.

I own a Zune. I love it. Mine froze on December 31 and didn't start working again until today.

Know what I did? I had to listen to... wait for it.. compact discs! OMG a whole two days. I DEMAND COMPENSATION BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HARMED AND TRAUMATIZED. I might not even be able to work again, in my life.

Seriously, you people calling for compensation are THE reason health care is so expensive. Yeah, you. With your frivolous lawsuits over anything that your spoiled baby asses can't handle. GrowTFUp.

Jeezus.
