Our wait for games on the Zune is slowly coming to an end, as Microsoft has announced that XNA (an Xbox 360-light game platform) will come to the Zune this month. Not every title will be supported—Microsoft only has four XNA titles running on the Zune at this very moment—but those that arrive will support up to 8-player ad-hoc wireless gaming (as we mentioned before). Also of note, developers can use the Xbox 360 controller with the XNA software development kit and to map Zune actions to the controller.
Developers only have a measly 16MB of RAM to work with, so don't expect to see anything currayzeee. But it's good to see the Zune and Xbox 360 finally swap some spit. This is just like the series finale of Friends!!

Hmmm lets get Halo in there. hehe
OK. Cool. Now the Zune is worth having. Well, when XNA is actually released and there are some games.
why can't apple put a similar feature on the iphone.
Good luck find other players... But Halo would be nice.
They have to give the 30GB owners some love, because I'm pretty certain that denying support of this device will shut out more than half of the people currently in the Zuniverse. If they do, I'd gladly sample a game on mine.
I really hope they include Zune 30 owners. If not, I can sell my PDA (don't need it anymore) and my Zune 30 to get the Zune 80.
@YoMommaIsMyMomma: Probably because Apple loves being very closed source. :)
@Kaiser-Machead: It's confirmed that this will also work for Zune 30.
@Josh: Like I said, it's confirmed to work on the Zune 30.
