Default Zunes all over the world shutting down
This is such bullshit as this morning I tried to turn my zune on and it just froze and I can't restart it or anything. Apparently this is happening to zunes all over the place with the new year.

What a piece of shit. I payed $250 for something that just crashes?

Why did I ever think I could trust microsoft with a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing mp3 player.

A Microsoft product crashing? Never.

Every affected Zune user must have dropped it in a puddle.

Exactly. Last good thing they have done since 2001 was... Uhm. You can say XBox, but that's just PS2 on drugs. And a weaker version of PC you can't use mods with. And only for games.

Hopefully Apple's Ipod won't have something smiliar to this. Althought I do heard about how most of the ipod's battery last only 6 months.

I've had my touch for a year and the battery is fine. I've had my nano for 2 years and the battery is fine.

Anyways, lol @ everyone who told me I'm dumb for buying an ipod and not a zune.

Microsoft has shown it's incompetence and willingness to rip off it's customers over the course of many years. It's not like you didn't get any warnings.

But, anyhow, yey for Microsoft that will have to replace all these Zunes!

P.S. Not a fan of Apple either.

I was just thinking how different it would be if Xbox 360s were failing instead of zunes.

My 360 wasn't even the first kind that came out and it still ring-of-deathed me. Right this month too but at least they sent a new one back fast.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU TOO MICROSOFT!
