Apparently every 30GB Zune has frozen as of 2AM December 31st 2008.  In a strange down turn of events for Zune, it appears the Y2K-like bug may have taken a bite out of the old Zunes.  When people turned on their Zunes today, they were greeted with a loading screen which never stops loading.  The Zune forum is loaded with this problematic event occurring to many Zune owners.  There is no fix yet from Microsoft, but they have acknowledged that the problem exists.  It seems that a few people on the Zune team will unfortunately not get to enjoy their New Years Eve, or this could be a Steve Jobs-Esque way of saying, "get a new Zune every year".
