Q: When will zune games become avaliable?
A: XNA Studio 3.0 will come out in thfe spring with games "out for the holidays" so no firm dates for this as of yet
|
The release that just occurred was a Community Technology Preview (
CTP). The full release of 3.0 will occur in the "Holiday 2008" time frame.

Q: How will the games get on to my zune?
A: At first the games will have to be compiled and transferred to your zune via the XNA Studio. This is most likely so the games can be signed. After that there has been hints that they will be distributed via XBL but nothing has been confirmed yet.
|
There are no such hints for anything of that nature. Xbox 360 games will be getting a distribution system on XBL (called Xbox LIVE Community Games as of now) around the "Holiday 2008" time frame, but that has nothing to do with Zune.

Q: Will the games support multiplayer?
A: Yes they will use the Zunes wifi to connect to other zunes so you can play together. No word as of yet as to how many players can play together.
|
There is a maximum of 8 Zunes that can connect together.

Q: Can I share games with my friends via the zune's wifi?
A: Not to start with no but that is something they are planning to add at a later date.

This is also not something that was officially announced so I think should be removed from the FAQ (or at least corrected to just say "No").
There are also already three FAQs from the XNA site on Zune development and XNA 3.0:
