Something new I found out is you can have 8 zunes networking

I thought this was only for a preview release of the games, not the actual ones.
Cool, nonetheless, just show we're getting close to getting the games.

Taylor · 05-05-2008, 12:53 PM

Jon · 05-05-2008, 01:19 PM

Hooray for games. I'm surprised the games are coming out this month, even though it's just a preview.

soccerfreak24 · 05-05-2008, 04:28 PM

Well if this is released to the public then there would have to be at least a small update. Our Zunes do not have the necessary files to run games.

If I understand correctly there will be a firmware update when the XNA 3.0 beta thing is released, but you will not add/manage games in the zune software, you sync them in using the XNA tool.

lilray3 · 05-06-2008, 03:14 PM

how much will one game cost?

charmed61 · 05-06-2008, 03:16 PM

free, at least for a few weeks unless people started charging it. OMG this is gonna be a exciting year for zune!

happyface_0 · 05-06-2008, 06:50 PM

The 2.5 firmware has the code in it that allows XNA custom code to be ran on your Zune.
