No where has it been said that there will be no 30 support.

Just because they mentioned use of the touch pad does not mean there will be no 30 support, stop Jumping to conclusions, there will prob be a touch/textile option, that would be my guess.

i hope your right that will save me $300

XNA Games are Free.

XNA Software itself is not.

scrizz · 02-20-2008, 01:20 PM

omfg this will be so cool

joej · 02-20-2008, 01:20 PM

faded any prices for the games and software?

vietrice · 02-20-2008, 01:36 PM

Great news for Zune owners. Too bad I have a 30 version. Maybe there will be unique and different games for those with 1G and those with 2G?

MemphisMasenko · 02-20-2008, 01:48 PM

You can take a game from Windows, to Xbox, to Zune.....sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
But it would a nice feature that I won't use.

comdrop9073 · 02-20-2008, 01:56 PM

Sounds cool, I think this will open a new door and I can find a use for the social feature(wifi). Any info on multiplayer gaming?

thejoshler · 02-20-2008, 02:36 PM

I really don't see why they wouldn't support the 30gb. If firmware is 30gb-compliant why not games? The touchpad doesn't make a big enough difference in controls. I'm calling it - 30gb support.

jasonsplace · 02-20-2008, 03:08 PM

It will support the 30GB according to the official FAQ:
Q: Will this feature only work on newer Zune devices?
A: XNA Game Studio 3.0 currently will support Zune 4/8, Zune 30, and Zune 80 devices.

They better be free, it'l help give zune an edge over apple, at least there better be SOME free games at least... and some good games, unlike most of the apple games i've seen.

Darth Camel · 02-20-2008, 03:26 PM

While I love videogames, I'm not that interested in this. Unless they somehow put a function version of Halo 3 on Zune. Which is, of course, impossible.

That's actually sort of my view as well, the only game I play is halo 3, and there arent many games I'd play on a zune if I had one, the thing is... playing wifi games with my friend, during a super boring Math lesson... is enticing.

Jon · 02-20-2008, 03:29 PM

I know for sure there are going to be hacks for free games

stkr · 02-20-2008, 03:56 PM

Looks like Engadget has tried a game out already. Microsoft could've at least had a few teasers for us...

That looks awesome! thanks for the pics, I hadn't seen this batch yet.

Tobososlow · 02-20-2008, 04:00 PM

I can't wait, something I can do with my Zune while listening to music during something boring!

joej · 02-20-2008, 04:04 PM

hope fully this will be relesed in the next couple of months

No problem

. I'm kind of excited. I only bought one or two games for my iPod. They were okay. Hopefully the Zune does better....and gets Sonic.

, sonic would be fun, and definitely possible. I didn't buy any ipod games though, and probably won't buy much/any zune games if they cost money. I got tired of the included ipod games within a few days.

But then again, playing over wifi increases the re-playability, even if the game sucks.
