Well I gave my wife an 8gb zune for her birthday june 24th last year. She used it religiously everyday to help her study for nursing school. She just graduated in April of this year, yay!! Unfortunately her zune just died a couple of days ago. I feel so bad because I know she loved it so much. I am currently the only one who is working and I can't afford to get her another one right now. We both are Sci-fi buffs and we had been talking about possibly getting her a bigger zune for christmas. This would be an awesome surprise birthday gift, even if it's a little late.
