Video: A glimpse of handheld gaming on Microsoft's Zune HD

Ohoho, what's this? It seems Microsoft is starting to get into the handheld gaming business with the Zune HD. A video spotted by Zunited clearly shows a racing game running on the new handheld. Heck, the voice-over lady even says outright that you can play games on the thing.

So is this the portable Xbox Shane Kim was talking about? Check it out below.

The Zune HD launches on September 15, so we'll probably have to wait a couple of days before Microsoft formally announces what it's capable of in terms of gaming. No word yet on what kind of games Microsoft will be rolling out for it either, but I'm inclined to think of something along the lines of Sony's PSP Minis.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

I already have an 80GB Zune but the improvements in this model are more than enough to justify a purchase. And the fact that there's no camera is actually a bonus for me; I work in a government research lab where we can't bring in anything with a camera (for security purposes), so I can bring this along with me.

Looks interesting. Anything that'll keep Nintendo, Sony and Apple on their toes is only a good thing.

Next thing u know Freeplay will be the cause of resident evil 6 on the real world lol.

# meh... — danielakadanny 2009-09-12 07:03

seems very interesting but the commercial is so...bland

# hmm.. — CLIFF BLESZINSKI 2009-09-12 08:13

back when the zune came out it was really cool because it could do things that the ipod couldn't do. But now that the ipod touch exists I don't see the point of this buying one of these over it

# so — FearEvil19 2009-09-12 11:00

This actually plays vids at 1280x720 and up?

# also — FearEvil19 2009-09-12 11:02

does anyone know the specs?

# wow — fearlubu 2009-09-12 11:21

this thing looks like it has much promise..

but i want to see a more in depth video......more of the specs and whatnot

looks good tho

I would seriously set the money up in flames before I spent it on a Microsoft product, ESPECIALLY A ZUNE!!!

# You are such a tool. — Nineball 2009-09-12 14:53

It's okay to like non-Sony products.

# ... — FelisCatusLover 2009-09-12 16:20

Actually I was thinking the iPod touch and iPhone.

# lol — 1ofamillion 2009-09-13 00:52

I have a 30gb white and i still love it, but its falling apart lol..the screen is scratched up so much its distracting :)

# not on the actually screen — 1ofamillion 2009-09-13 00:56

you have to have a dock, and then you can hook it up to your tv to watch it in 720p. I wish you could on the screen though, that would be amazing...

# ... — FelisCatusLover 2009-09-13 05:48

LMFAO!!!! Seriously FreePlay, I'd expect way better from someone like you. I always thought you were a somewhat intelligent person, why in Heavens name did you buy a Zune over an iPod touch?

# Rofl — Roflman 2009-09-13 14:46

Felis, your comment made me lol.

# Rofl — Roflman 2009-09-13 14:53

Looks good. Better than the current Nano IMO.

Next they'll have ZUNE Fone™. Who noes.

# Rofl — Roflman 2009-09-13 14:57

Again, lol.

# I'll tell you why I'm now buying a Zune over a Touch Felis — Master Chef 2009-09-13 21:23

Because Apple gave its higher paying customers the shaft by not introducing any new features to it, and instead gave tons of stuff to the stupid iPod Nano. So f*ck em, I'll buy MS's product now. At least it has RADIO

I loved my iPod Touch until it broke, but I'm not buying it again just on principle.

# I was referring to.. — Nineball 2009-09-14 09:33

Your incessant bashing of all things not Sony, especially Microsoft.

# ... — FelisCatusLover 2009-09-14 11:05

Not true, I hate Microsoft with a passion BUT I am not a Sony fanboy. Theres only three home consoles, PS3, Wii and 360. I picked the PS3 because the 360 is a Microsoft product and the Wii doesn't have any good M rated games.

# CatFetusLover — noshoes84 2009-09-15 06:51

Fancy seeing you here! I was so shocked when I seen your handle on the 360 updates comment boards bashing yet another Microsoft product. It's almost like you really have no life at all. Seriously, we get it...you don't like Microsoft. We know. Honestly dude nobody cares. Have fun playing any game worth its weight in salt on your mac. xD
