I think it’s easier than it might seem to transform the Zune HD into a gaming platform. Basically, if you look at the Zune HD, it’s pretty darn ergonomically constructed allow it to slot into something to allow it to be turned into a gaming portable. So, all M$ would need to do is design a shell, kinda like the old PSP with the Zune HD functioning as the screen. The shell would have a D-pad and buttons, and maybe even a slot to allow for SD cards or some other form of medium to sell the games at retail. M$ could basically sell the shell for $60-70 bucks, and allow for dedicated gaming functions, which is the current challenge for IPod Touch…what do you’ll think?

They will have to include an external battery with that contraption as well. Running games on  the Zune HD drains the battery pretty quick. My girlfriend  can get about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of playtime on her Zune HD when playing Hexic nonstop.

Yup...battery and a card slot.  basically, these games shouldnt need more than a 512MB card, and those are dirt cheap.  It would be a nice way to expand memory from 32GB, which I currently have, and it's already halfway with music alone.
