According to hundreds of reports from users worldwide, 30GB Zunes are
freezing and locking up due to what appears to be a new years date bug.
One poster summarized the issue on Microsoft's support forums, "At
exactly 2am CDT (12am PDT), the docked Zune made the "unplugged from
USB port" bong-noise and went to the boot-up screen with the 100%
loading bar...and froze. At 2:30am CDT, I decided to check the other
Zune. Turned it on and...frozen at the 100% loading screen."
It appears as though only 30GB Zunes are currently affected and some
reports indicate that only Zunes with the latest firmware are
affected, but this hasn't yet been confirmed.
Microsoft has not yet commented on the matter and is currently
unavailable for comment due to time zone differences.
