why is it when I hook my zune up to the tv and try to play a game, it is kicked off my tv and can only be played on the zune ???

Seems like compatibility problems....
When "games" will be out of beta it'll probably be fixed.

Microsoft announced this... in the CTP of XNA the TV output is disabled while playing games.

Why?

CameleonMK · 06-16-2008, 09:52 AM

Well probably because of the energy consumption.

See you could put the zune in the dock and have all the energy it needs, Plus you can play the games with the remote. (That gives games a grade B cause you can't play on TV.)

Probably because it's a CTP and they are still working on the official rollout of game later this year.

i thing his talking about cables that connect to the zune and tv and you get to watch your videos or listen to music. but for some reason they don't allow you to play games. that sucks it would of been better to play on the tv.
