Zune 30 Owners in Hysteria! I Smell Red Ring on Zune..

Exactly one day before we welcome 2009, all Zune 30 owners around the world (proud or not), are extremely in rally after another Miscrosoft product could be on our MS paperweight collection. This is after all (including mine- Yes! I said around the world, and Philippine Zune owners are also affected by the issue) Zune 30 got stuck on boot screen - a widespread issue big MS cannot respond for now. So far, this issue has happened to Zune 30 hardware only, so only he early adopters got to receive this New Year gift MS is giving to its customers.

There have been workarounds that have been posted by other users, but this does not assures permanent fix.

If you are one of the pissed Zune 30 owner, then head down to Zune communities/forums for real time updates regarding the issue.
