Had a really clicky hard drive right out of the box. Returned it to best buy within the first week and the replace is perfect

Scatman2009 · 07-21-2008, 10:55 AM

after about a year and a half my zune started acting up.
but i had the replacement plan at best buy and got a new one for free.

iPod touch 8gb = returned once (faulty screen)

iPod touch 16gb = returned 5 times ( 2x faulty screens, 1 battery failure, 2 case breaks)

ipod nano 1st generation = Replaced twice ( LCD problem)

iPod U2 = Repaired under warranty twice, then replaced on the 3rd time (battery failure both times, still haev the replacement)

iPod classic 160gb = Repaired under warranty four times (Hard drive failure once, screen twice and casing issues)

I've bought one zune. One. I've had it a couple of months now, and aside from the little bit of dust under the screen it works fine. In fact It's already broken the record for any return faults I've made where I've had to hand my iPod back into the apple store.

The simple fact is, as long as Microsoft continue with the build quality, they have a regular customer in me. In fact, I think the only thing that beats it for quality and stability, is my PSP.

Never broke, these things are built tough(not Ford tough cuz ford's suck, CHEVY!)

ZuneLover2.0 · 07-21-2008, 11:40 PM

i've had my zune replaced once so far...

pj9000 · 07-22-2008, 08:11 AM

i bumped into chuck norris so he took my zune and threw it somewhere around india. dont know if it broke though.

eppey1 · 07-22-2008, 09:23 AM

my "premium" headphones sucked at first and then broke in 1 ear.
my zune's been run over by a pickup truck and its fine.

mortified · 07-22-2008, 09:56 AM

Zune is SOOO much better than iPod, especially the new generations of iPod...the iPod mini was pretty sturdy, but these new 5th and 6th generations (i think) are crap.

I've had mine for almost a year now, I take it to school and back, and most of the time its in my pocket. No problems so far!

Jzune · 07-23-2008, 12:18 PM

Tough Gandhi · 07-23-2008, 02:56 PM

Marshillboy · 07-23-2008, 03:40 PM

My zune 30 has been working and looking perfect since December 2006.

Cheapliquid · 07-23-2008, 03:48 PM

i've had my zune for so long, never a problem, theres really nothing ur brother can go on.. its preference..

carrman17 · 07-30-2008, 12:16 AM

I had my 30 since they came out, used it for a year, got an 80, gave the 30 to my dad who uses it a lot still. My 80s battery completely died after about 4 months. I basically over charged it(my bad). I sent it in and got a new one within a week or two.

Purus · 07-30-2008, 03:02 AM

Well I have dropped my Zune on the pavement a few times...hasn't broken, and only has a few nicks and chips.
Compared to my Zune, my other mp3/mp4 players haven't done so well....
My Creative Zen Micro 5's headphone jack got loose and unusable 3 times...2 times replaced under warranty, and the last time I opened it up and fixed it myself...
