Well I know it's been a bit since i've been posting here, but I just got XNA back installed and such and I came to find out today firmware 3.0 came out :O and what do I do install it on spot and find out I can't use XNA anymore lol, o well, wifi they made it so you can choose your network now, it's awesome! Although I have found a few bugs in it hopefully won't effect anything, so big question is, you think MS is gonna let us put that feature in our games?

XNA games will be available after the XNA 3.0 is released, and what feature, you mean wifi? I dont think well be able to do anything more than what we can now

I know that, I meant if they were gonna let us tinker with the nice new wifi feature they added on so we could get internet with our apps. That would be a nice thing to mess with on XNA.

Nope. It's just as gimped as it was before.

Like, instead of ad hoc multiplayer (a HUGE pain, how many people do you know who even know what a zune is?) we could have awesome around the US multiplayer.

I agree would be GREAT

I know i read we will be able to download at anyWifi hotspot so technichally the wifi is a full fledged just being blocked by the kernal or something

Yeah. The WiFi chip in the Zune is perfectly capable of providing full WiFi access to the Internet. The only thing impeding us from using it is the Zune firmware and XNA; and I don't think MS is going to open up the WiFi as an act of benevolence anytime soon.

I'm going to quote these exact words the next time someone ask for internet.
