30GB Zune Owners Experiencing Widespread Failure

Three items on my will-purchase-sometime-in-the-near-future-hopefully list right now include an Amazon Kindle, a new Logitech webcam and the 120GB Zune.
Current 30GB Zune holders aren’t too happy right now as there appears to have been systematic failure of 30GB Zunes across the land recently. Microsoft appears to be aware of the problem, but no solutions are forth-coming yet from them.
Customers using the Zune 30 might experience problems starting their players. We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!
I’m still moving forward with purchasing the Zune instead of a new iPod though. In fact, my wife offered me her iPod Nano since her new phone will serve as her music player of choice. I told her I didn’t want it because I didn’t want to have to install iTunes on my computer to manage the music on it.

I brought a Zune for my husband for X-mas. He hasn’t been able to use it since the thing wont even download the software, there for the computer wont rec. the Zune when pluged in… I think its a piece but he refuses to get a IPod.
jojo the Zune is supposed to download software before it can connect to the computer? I’m curious as to your husband’s reasons for refusing an iPod.
(ZUNE)Have had the software for six months, updated ! Computer wont recognized his new Zune!!! As for the Ipod He dont like their software…. plus they’re slower and you have to set up a account for album art.??
