YES! I love Microsoft.

"A message on the Zune support Web site acknowledged the problem and informed customers Microsoft was working to address it, but didn't identify the cause."

First my Xbox360 and now this...

Why do they insist on selling crap? Isn't it bad enough they are fleecing me with this Vista Operating System?

Thankfully I don't own a Zune.

Which rock do you live under??

I've had to send it back twice now.

Currently, it scratches every disc I put in it. Microsoft says they won't fix it anymore and they blame me cause they said I move the console while I'm playing it.


Hey, my Wii works great.

typically MS ...
Ubuntu ftw !

or in this case: Zen ftw !

Later in the day, Microsoft finally figured it out. While writing some of the driver software, the world's biggest software company had forgotten to compensate for leap years.

The solution? Wait 24 hours until Jan. 1.


The Microsoft posting promised a fix by the end of the next leap year in December 2012.

my 360 works great and i got it the year it came out *knock on wood*
i just leave it in a well ventilated area and don't move it with a disk in it
i am much happier with my 360 than my neighbor is with his ps3
the wii is fun but just can't measure up to me with the games i want (not knocking the wii since i would love to have one but just not as my main console)

Heck, I still use my PS2 and I'm usually able to find decent new releases for it so far.

I won't buy a PS3 and I'm not gonna spend any more money on Xbox stuff when MS can't build a product that won't have trouble. This is why I won't buy a Zune and I use Open Office/Firefox.
