How many have owned a zune that hasn't broken.

soccerfreak24 · 05-15-2008, 07:12 PM

Well, I got into an argument with my bro about weather zune or ipod was better, and being he has never even looked at my zune, he's going off one thing. 4/6 of my friends have had to return their zunes for new ones, and he says ipods are better because they don't break so easily. So, I'm asking you all, how many of you have had no problems?

Alex · 05-15-2008, 07:26 PM

never broken

runtohell121 · 05-15-2008, 07:29 PM

never broken either.

JawaKing · 05-15-2008, 07:29 PM

I own two Zunes (30 and 80, selling the 30 soon). I have owned the 30 since last June, and my 80 since February and neither has broken/needed repair.

Scrapz616 · 05-15-2008, 07:34 PM

My zune has never been broken before.

n8dogg4life · 05-15-2008, 07:42 PM

I bought my zune 30 in March of last year, dropped it around five times, and its still running perfectly. I have owned the 2nd and 3rd ipod nano generations and let me tell you I have never seen anything built so cheap. I mean cheap.

soccerfreak24 · 05-15-2008, 08:16 PM

Thanks for the quick responses everyone, I think this is helping prove my point.. lol

I think the reason people might see issues isn't their own doing. i.e. it's not something you would necessarily "do to it". If people are having issues, then the device itself may be defective. This is much different than many iPods, which are fairly fragile in my experience.

My Zune 4 is going strong after a month of ownership.

Darth Camel · 05-15-2008, 10:08 PM

Ipods are crap in terms of durability (and other aspects as well, but that's a discussion for another day). And the Zune 30 is more or less an unbreakable tank. While I had to replace my Zune 80 once, it was due to a software glitch, unfortunately for me.

Archetype · 05-16-2008, 02:53 AM

My first one broke within my first 2 weeks of ownership. Second one is doing well.

Dougiebaby · 05-16-2008, 08:16 PM

My zune 8 has been perfect since I got it 2+ months ago.

zimmeh1 · 05-16-2008, 08:47 PM

No problems at all. Zune 30 since July or so.

Cheapliquid · 05-16-2008, 08:47 PM

mines in tip top shape, even thought i've broken it, and kept it near the ridiculous smell of my hockey bag (which has been known to make things disappear) lol

Tobososlow · 05-16-2008, 09:16 PM

My first and still my currently only I guess 30 gig is still going strong since November, I've only dropped it like twice about 3 months ago and nothing happened. I just received a second one for free, like the first, yesterday and so far no problems that I know of.

Xx Demon xX · 05-16-2008, 09:22 PM

both going perfctly dropped both a milion times

my 30 has chipped corners.

Dynamo · 05-17-2008, 09:39 AM

neither my zune 30 or my zune 80 have shown any problems... but I have droped my zune 80 quite a few times now, it looks beat up but works fine!

DjKaumi · 05-17-2008, 11:04 AM

i own one that hasn't broken yet! and i have been modding it since day one when i got it out of the box

-new batterie
-new skin
-zbooker
-self made charger
- new buttons (a friend fabricated them for me! ^_^)
- and lots of little stuff i don't really care to list!

Eurydius del Ark · 05-17-2008, 11:13 AM

I'd imagen that most of Zune returns are due to impedance or software glitches.

As for me, mine is doing fine.

Andre3000 · 05-29-2008, 02:02 PM

Mine just broke but just the hardrive really.

Ive dropped it many times on many types of floors and it stayed strong.

Draigos · 05-29-2008, 03:00 PM

I got my black 30 at the Zune release. Not one problem ever.
