Check it out...

....I wonder if that's a hacked version of the firmware or is there really one that supports it and MS hasn't released it?? :confused:

Scrapz616 · 02-22-2008, 11:46 AM

They said its the test version
pretty cool video
can't wait till the games are released

MemphisMasenko · 02-22-2008, 12:00 PM

It looks awesome enough.....
As long as I ain't gotta pay for it then

Jon · 02-22-2008, 12:04 PM

The touchpad looks and works really nicely with the game.

Man. · 02-22-2008, 12:07 PM

Very cool, I've been waiting to see some games in action. Hopefully there will be an exploit with this as the guy in the video goes we can make our own games, which means there must be some signing software

Chri(Z)tian · 02-22-2008, 12:09 PM

Looks cool, also after watching that vid. I really want a flash zune now..... they just seem really cool. Either way, I can't wait for the zune games, hope their free though. I can see myself playing that zauri game on the bus ride home everyday. I also can't wait to see how they'll deal with the whole zune pad/zune 30's buttons problem when it comes to the games like zauri.

Edit: Just thought of buying a zune 8 at my local circuit city behind my parents back....might do it. Probably will get green or black though, since like all my friends have their's in red. But yeah not sure if I'll do it, I got the money for the device. Also have a left over full body back piece of the invisible shield that I can cut out to fit the screen of the flash zune.

I believe they will be free. Anyone can make a game...

If anything, this could open the back door to hackers to exploit this feature since it will be an open source development kit (XNA)!! zB hackers...be patient!

nathanlawliet · 02-22-2008, 12:29 PM

It's most likely a beta version of the new firmware that is as stable as the Zune Software.

Looks kind of cool though, I like the idea of open source.

Gregory · 02-22-2008, 12:46 PM

It just looks a tad slow, why do you say it looks unstable?

soccerfreak24 · 02-22-2008, 04:23 PM

Great video.. but I wish they'd show the other games, I was curious about the tank looking one.. and how do you think the wifi will work for ths game?

MUfan1313 · 02-22-2008, 05:58 PM

Nope, they will be 30 gig compatable, although some games may not work out on 30 gig that require specific touch pad use.

mr.handsomeman · 02-22-2008, 06:40 PM

looks amazing, but games like this are only going to be played on the new Zunes, which maked me sad.....

sowhatu · 02-22-2008, 06:56 PM

Some people simply like smaller players, and flash is more durable, b/c of lack of moving parts.. so in general it last's longer, unless you keep your hard drive player in perfect shape.

sil3ntdarkn355 · 02-22-2008, 07:06 PM

Well at least the Zune 30 gets the games too...I really wasn't hoping that the Zune would have games...but oh well.
