Zune HD gaming announced and released |
Ó
Made available starting today, the new Zune HD will support "fun 3D games" like Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, Vans Sk8: Pool Service and AudioSurf Tilt. And like the App Store function, you can now get more games onto your Zune HD via the Zune Marketplace by either connecting to the Wi-Fi connection or by hooking up to the Zune PC software.
Said Enrique Rodriguez, Corporate VP of the TV, Video and Music Business at Microsoft:
With today's announcement, the Zune business is growing into a comprehensive entertainment service that's no longer tied to any one screen or device. Zune lets consumers connect to their music, TV shows and movie content and enjoy it on the three screens they use every day.
Details on the product reveal that it is limited to the US territory only (no word though if they'll later ship it out to other regions), in two models: 16GB which retails for US$ 219.99 and 32GB which sells at US$ 289.99.
- Other features included are:
- built-in HD radio receiver
- HD video output capabilities
- OLED touch screen
- Internet browser
Zune HD is available starting today in US retail stores.

I'll say it Again. I dont think anyone has a Zune or wants a Zune.
"In the future, Microsoft intends to add in more applications like a calculator..." Now all it needs is Mine Sweeper and Solitaire... Way to dream big Microsoft.
It's an old thought, but I'll repeat it. I wish they would've released a larger capacity version after the 32gb. I mean, for me with me 1st gen model, I don't really care, but they're probably not gonna sell as much on their first wave as much as they may have. I guess they didn't want to go passed the $300 price tag. Man, the thing looks sweet though.
As much as I love the zune, I gotta admit that Ipod users don't really need to pay much attention to it. People without any of the new new players I'd recommend taking a look at it though. Maybe check out if Creative Labs is making a new zen. Those're pretty cool too.
but that isn't enough for me to go get a Zune.
my brother bought me one as a birthday gift didnt even know it was soo amazing.
great features and less pricey.
IT HAS BLUETOOTH FTW!!! CUZ EVERYTHING WITH BLUETOOTH IS BETTER :D!!
^ sry reference from big bang theory
well thats very narrow minded. do you honestly believe what you just said? I have a zune 30 and i like it, and would love to have this. tons of people have zunes maybe they arent like the scourge that is ipod but many people have them. (i dont hate all ipods, just the classic :] )
I have a 30, an 80, and a 16GB HD. I love them.
Still no deal, until I get notepad as well...
They seem like they integrate a lot better with the 360 as well. If I still had a 360 i'd go with zune over an ipod touch.
Damn, still no word if they are going to have XBLA games on this though. That was something MS mentioned years ago that kinda had me pumped, then it disappeared.
If MS wants to make there own handheld, they should copy PSP GO!s design.
Zune screen being either 3.8 or 4.3 and it being ZuneHD, it should have slide in controls, plus 2nd analog stick.
Yes Zune would be a good handheld, if it had slide in controls. Bigger screen.
From the things there doing now, its starting to shape up as a handheld.
