first off, yes it would help push a new zune.
second, is it that hard to type in microsoft? here you can just paste and copy mine.
thirdly, a new viva pinata(by rare) would push it faster for me

A viva pinata tamagotchi kind of game would be cool.


i mean a standard one. the for the ds was awesome(i heard).

It would go over very well with the casual market as well.

If Zune HD controls aren't good for gaming, Zune could hurt Halo instead of the latter helping the former.

It might push a million Zunes or so, but I would be worried about what it might do to the perceived value of the Halo brand.

In my opinion it would be seen as somewhat "jumping the shark," indicating that they don't really know what to do with Halo now. It could even end up being a fantastic game, but it wouldn't sell nearly as well as a real Halo game, and would just end up being used as flamebait by people who had never played it.

a updated "halo 1" with live support would sell over 2 million zune hd's very easily. i would buy 1 for that.

That would be tempting and I may buy one if they did that.  Honestly though, I wish they would come out with an updated

Halo: Combat Evolved that had live support for the 360.  I don't know if that would sell well but I know I would buy a copy.

No need to add anything else, you already persuaded me: MS MUST release it!!!

Exclusive but doesn't suck. That might help.

Well, I would have to say Bungie has a pretty good track record with its Halo series.  So the probability of it sucking would be slim to none.

I kind of doubt Bungie would be doing the zune version.



Would be hard to play Halo with that Zune buttons? Would it be like Doom original? You can't look up or down.



I don't know... would it work better than the ipod? Because Metal Gear failed miserably on that machine...



Why are you typing M$? I can understand if you were a blind Sony or Nintendo fanboy, but you seem to be, if anything, a Microsoft fan.

Lol, maybe the internet propaganda succeeded in getting into everyone's heads.
