A Gamer's Zune Background Image

Someone sent this to me today, and I wanted to pass it on: Xbox 360 themed Zune backgrounds:

 
 (locust curb stomp anyone?)

Go to 360 Style download the whole pack. And with my sub-4000 gamerscore, my gamer skills are only medium sharp. But if you want to add me to your friend's list, my 'tag is CesarIsOK

cool, but I already use the Gears of War " How sweet the sound " picture for my Zune.

I really like the Viva Pinata one though, I may have to use that for a while.

I saw the Zune pack 1 and saw the picture of the Master chief and thought that it look familiar for some reason. Wasn't there some rumor with that picture on the Zune lol.

I thought made a comment before...oh well...

Yeah I seen these a day or two ago.   I actually had the Xbox spiral for awhile now. Got it @ on10.net.  But I just switched it to the Halo 3 image. :)

Cesar if I can remember I will make some room and add you on my friend's list.

I just downloaded them and tried them on my new Windows Mobile phone and they look pretty good!

oh and don't worry Cesar, your gamerscore is just as high as mine, because I am always playing online and rarely work on my achievements. =(

I finally passed you a week ago.

* thanks to Crackdown for being so addictive. It was the only thing  that could pull me away from Gears of  War.

Eric:

Cool Wallpaper!

Eric

Thanks :)

Of course, it's not quite as beautiful in detail as the ones Cesar posted. But I enjoy it.

My gamerscore is low just because of all the problems I have been having with my 360s. :(  

HazyCloud

Thanks Cesar! These will look great on my Zune. My personal fav is Alien Hominid HD. Gotta love those bright colorful screens! :)

Finally proof of Gizmodo's latest gamer Zune rumor.  Very subtle way of admitting it.

'score - uhhh, not so much ;)

you guys should have some sort of official place where people can upload wallpaper of pictures they've taken. It can be integrated into Zune marketplace, and would be a great place where people can share wallpaper-sized pictures. I currently use a picture I took in Mexico, and has nice, bright colors that look gorgeous on the Zune. The picture is of a sign that says "tequilas gratis", and looks just hipster enough. It's good stuff.

There are some more game backgrounds over here as well if any one interested: http://zuneinfo.com/backgrounds/album/Video-Games/

Oops, no. I want a Zune!!!!!!

Cool image.

Sweet Halo 3 background there.  Just curious, though, wouldanyone happen to know how to get back the original dark/greyish pic that was on it, or was that a theme?  I was emssin with mine and lost it, an it don't seem to show up as a preloaded pic, and it wasn't deleted.  Any way to recreate it to fit?  Anyone with any info, e-mail me,davegx2@hotmail.com subject Halo 3 Zune background, or something like that.
