I dunno. I dont think if I had games on my Zune that I would play them. Ive never given any thought to it. And my battery doesnt last all that long, im sure playing games would SIGNIFICANTLY kill that battery faster.

looks cool, but if you go to youtube and watch the "xna zune" video there, the video description says,

"Cool games made with XNA. This video was preloaded on some Zune players.

THESE GAMES DO NOT RUN ON THE ZUNE! IT WAS LOADED ON A ZUNE TO PROMOTE XNA! "

please correct me if i'm wrong about that one.

however, the zauri vid is real, of course.

That's why I made sure to say the games 'may' look like that...

The zune has no 3D support the games wont look like this these are example games made to show people what could be done with XNA on the PC and the 360. this is providing a hugely wrong idea of what the games will look like

OIMG XNA Racer looks so sweet!!! Also, if the zune supports video, why wouldnt iut have the capability to play "3D" games?
NightFire   | 75.41.204.xxx | 2008-02-25 15:59:44
saab, I totally agree man! The racer game looks tight! Also, I think it's posible to play it with the 4/8/80 series more than the 30. Then you have Marble Blast Ultra that looks like a mind game which is pretty tight.

The Zune does not have a graphics accelerator, aka no 3D style games.

That eliminates all of the screenshots above.

wtf..no 3d ****...wtf are these people talking about then
jeff   | 67.183.82.xxx | 2008-02-25 23:07:43
the only game i really consideredplaying on the zune is solitaire andother similar games. so no 3d support works for me.

stupid MS, add games NOW!!!
Untouchable4rc   | 24.185.250.xxx | 2008-02-26 09:24:11
Damn that sucks...you guys got my hopes up thinking marble blast ultra would be playable on my Zune. That game owns its fun as hell think. Marble Madness+Super Monkey Ball.
Kevin Piunno - 30   | 24.150.131.xxx | 2008-02-26 15:54:27
I'm just wondering where the zune 30 is going to stand on all of this
RCUltimate - I just realized something....   | 70.187.80.xxx | 2008-02-27 05:41:27
My enV can play 3D games...not only that, it can play a game where I can move my phone around and a ball moves around in the game. So basically...my phone has a capability to play 3D games, yet the Zune cannot? That is absurd!
bman22   | 76.113.4.xxx | 2008-03-02 19:49:57
does anyone actually know that the zune does not support 3d. Did anyone here help develop the video hardware that went into it. I imagine not, so you aren't exactly justified to say the zune doesn't support 3d. The firmware may not, but you dont have any solid proof that it doesn't have the capabilities. Don't ruin peoples hopes with info you cant back up.
