Zune 30 Gig Players Freezing on Logo Screen December 31st Epidemic???

This morning I tried to boot up my Zune 30 only to have it hang on the logo screen.  I tried to recall the buttons in which to hold in order to reset it but couldn’t remember them.  (it’s the back button and up button)  I did a quick search for it via google and found several forums with up to the minute postings about frozen Zunes.

Do we have an epidemic here?  I was thinking…ohhh, maybe it’s a 2009 thing but it’s still 2008!  Anybody else own a Zune 30?  Is it stuck on the logo and not able to reboot or start?

Here are a couple links of forums discussing the problem.

How to Reset a Zune. Forums at bottom of post.

UPDATE: Zune Forums are filled with posts on frozen Zunies. Epidemic confirmed.

UPDATE 2: It’s not getting any better for Zunies.  I’m about to go outside and check for Independence Day type spaceships that might be hovering over our planet zapping our 30 Gig Zunes.  Oh, on a positive note I beat Engadget to post by 40 minutes!  Oh ya, we’re big shots!  Engadgets story.
