There will be wireless multi player.

So here WILL BE Zune 30 support!!!!

Engadget made an assumption that because 'touch pad controls' were mentioned, they asumed that the 30 wouild not be able to accept games.

So again, to set the record straight there WILL BE Zune 30 support!!!!

thanx for clearing that up

No Problem, I just got tired of people jumping to conclusions, lol. Now remember, this is what XNA is saying, and MS claims that they are going to work together, but it is possible that something miught happen, so Id say that that information isnt set in stone and is subject to change, but that is just about the most direct info oiut there I could find. Thanks for the Link Jon, hope this clears some things up.

Zune 30 games! Even though by the time they get the Games I hope to have Zune 80...Im so happy. I was thinking of a like a controller jack that you would insert in the headphones or sync spot and get more use out of the zune with games. Tis a glorious day Zune fans

Oh right, I guess that could give people the wrong impression..

I'm thinking that 2nd generation Zunes will get different games than 1st generation.

Actaully, that's a good point... I could see zune 2 having a few more exclusive games, that involve using the technology of the touch pad, whereas the zune 30 could not play them.

I was thinking about the same thing, but it's all good. As long as both generations of zune's get games. Then I dont see anything wrong with that. Either way, I got a zune 80. So I'll get all the games!!!

Hope there free though, would suck to have to pay!

They better not pull an apple, and give you like 2 crap games, and make you pay for the real ones... I think zune needs to prove it's better than apple, and do this in way's that exceed, and go "above and beyond" them.. They can't always just be second to things, they need to do them better. Giving free games, and allowing people to Download User created games.. would be a good advantage.
