Wait! Wut?

So the official fix for your dead Zune is time (i.e., wait until the new year starts)?! I guess MS expects you to not have your Zune when the next Leap Day rolls around.

If this issue can't be fixed via firmware upgrade, this will be a PR, technical, and logistical nightmare (think: having to repair devices without losing DRM'd music).

Mark your calendars kids! If this doesn't get fixed, and you still have your 30GB Zune on December 31st, 2012, it'll probably be dead again.
