There's some clock device in them that went haywire. They (the device) won't work until '09.
Epic FAIL @ Microsoft.

I only know one person who's ever had one. And he bought it when it first came out and was brick. He doesn't have it anymore... so people I know with zunes=zero

Are they new? Like just released today or something? That's weird. I'm glad Apple doesn't have these problems.
The 30GB one is the oldest one, which came out in 2006.

I love Microsoft, they make products that aren't worth the money, but yet they continue to make billions. How I would love to do the same.

To say the least, programmers were fired after this incident. I still <3 my zune, it's an 80 gig though so it wasn't frozen.

It was line 263 of the code.

//Calculate current day of the week

year += 1;

else

Pretty much. Whoever wrote it didn't consider the extra time.

Wrong line. The offending line is actually the line with the while loop --
while days > 365 doesn't take leap years into account, so the loop goes forever -- hence why the Zunes just froze up.

Crap, you're right. I saw "days >" and bolded the wrong line.
