Default Zune Demonstrating Tasty Multiplayer That's Getting Cold

"One of the things we talked about was the network play, and we've had people doing prototypes internally of multiplayer shoot-'em-ups both in versus and co-op."

He continues:

"I'm really looking forward to people using their networking ability to use peer-to-peer games...I'm sure we're going to see some peer-to-peer race games, kart-style games - those are going to be fun."

While we certainly don't mind the Zune platform stepping up and getting in on a piece of the Xbox 360 action, we've seen Wi-Fi connected portables offering co-op and head to head for years. It's time for us to see more, and quickly.

the only reason people are so negative and pessimistic about this stuff is how long it's been taking MS to release the gaming ability... after all they are no doubt working on security and anti-exploit components right now, otherwise they'd have already had the beta out a month ago.

I agree. Why such a long wait. I mean nothing has changed within the last few months...

Probably by the end of the year^
They will be free as long as the creators of the games don't charge money
