Marketplace Down on Monday, Updates Coming
Posted by Adam Krebs in "Zune Software" @ 03:00 PM
"On Monday, we’re taking down Zune Marketplace from 6:00pm PST for a few hours while we deploy the final code (woot!). During that time, you won’t be able to browse, purchase music, download music from ZMP, or access your account. Then on Tuesday, November 13, the new software, store, Zune Social, and firmware update will go live."
Only three days 'til all the goodies come pouring in. I can't wait.
I wonder if with this update the old marketplace will become inoperable, and they'll force users to upgrade to keep playing tracks. I imagine the new software won't sync with the old firmware, but I also know a significant number of users will want to wait until most problems that inevitably come with new technology are sorted out.
All reports are pointing to this being an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus for us all.
