This was in MS's Keynote @ GDC, they are going to make games that transfer form 360 to Zune to PC, IIRC.



Wouldn't be suprised if MS used the Zune as a new avenue to open up games from the XBLA and XNA. Could be really neat.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

woot! I have an 80 gig zune and thinking about buying the 8 gig flash drive one :D

Hey, if the ipod gets games, why not the zune?



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Oddly enough, since the platform is newer, and Microsoft has more experience with gaming, it might work better on the Zune, as long as it doesn't play like cell phone gaming.

Plus this is no surprise to me. There have been rumors of Microsoft getting into handheld gaming, and the Zune is pretty much their attempt to answer the iPod, which has gotten into gaming. So this seems like the logical step. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Edited: misread thread. oops >_<

anyway, I guess it would be cool, if I had a Zune... 



the thing is, why do people get mp3 players when you have one in your phone?

because it's not as feature packed. And lack of software support.

I'm expecting games like "Breakout" or "Solitaire" and games of that level.
You know, games for jackasses.
Not even close to rivalling DS or PSP.
