Xbox Live games now on Zune

It appears that with the demonstration that Xbox Live XNA games are coming to the Zune! These are the community developed games using the XNA studio 3.0 tools, but I would venture to expect 1st party published games as well. Cesar on the Zune Insider

Sounds great! For me, making the Zune open to XNA developers is a major selling point. I bought my iPod Touch because of all the user-created content available for it (after a simple 'jailbreak') and a lot of the content is really good, especially since the iTouch has a touch screen, wi-fi, and an accelerometer to utilize.

I completely agree with everything Ricardo Dawkins stated. MS will have to improve the battery to handle games.

This is great news! Games will make the zune great. From the movie it looks like it processes so much faster than the ipod, even when playing music at the same time. I hope it doesn't take a year to get some games out. If music and video media is the key priority of the zune, why is there no updates to make this part of the zune better?

Paul, I'll just add that I'm not against utility functions on Zune at all. I've been promoting the idea of a MSN Direct type of capability on Zune since day 1. I can only speak for myself, but the utility I'm looking for is being able to retrieve & display from the outside world..short of a internet browser, MSN Direct accomplishes that. Interestingly Zunester (David Caulton) makes a random reference to MSN Direct several months ago. I can't help but think some on the Zune team are considering it.

Paul, I doubt they you'd be able to develop utility apps under XNA. Besides, it would be odd to find utility applications under the Games menu. Don't forget these apps are going to be distributed by XBox Live back-end. So you have no control over which menu it falls under. In addition, user created games have to go through a peer review. I doubt non-game titles would pass peer review.

Now think about this...

From a programmers standpoint (a.k.a. me), if/when we get a hold of the XNA toolkit; this will mean not just games for the Zune, but calculators, clocks/timers, possibly minor graphics editors, and a whole slew of usable tools for the Zune - ones that have been asked about for a little while now.

Awesome!

Cesar, I'm not sure if you remember but at the Seattle meet up I was asking you if you guys were ever going to put games on the Zune.

Well, you just made my day. :) I can't wait to get started creating some things. If only I would have gone to GDC this year instead of last year... Rats!
