    Does it need to be on Zune as well?
    Having a pac-man on a gaming system (even though the zune and iPhone aren't a gaming system) necessarily means "Win"?

    MS simply doesn't get it. They are in process of losing nearly every aspect of their core business to Google, Apple and the OS movement, and they are just sitting there with their fingers in their ears. They are too busy denying their irrelevance to actually try to compete.

    @cbandes: That's a strong statement. Although they may be losing ground in some areas, I wouldn't call the ZuneHD, Windows 7 and MS Courier irrelevant (just to name a few of their popular products/concepts).

    I think they're actually going through somewhat of a resurgence if you ask me.

    From a technical standpoint, if it's in XBLA, there's a good chance it was built with XNA, which would mean porting to the zune would be extremely easy in comparison to porting to iPhone, so there's really no excuse.

    @bpatten: So true. Microsoft really has a disconnect between their hardware and software (in part of them now being two different companies if I'm not mistaken). They seem slow on syncing their hardware with their software.

    Prime and recent example is the ZuneHD which doesn't even have a Device Stage in Windows 7 which you would think would be one of the first devices they tested on the thing. If you don't have the Zune software installed, the device is a dummy to your system. (I still love it though). I'm sure Pac-Man CE will be on the ZuneHD sometime in the future, just not sure when.

    @MosesMonster: Yeah, they have the perfect opportunity here. There are GREAT XBLA games that would actually be fun on the Zune HD. 'Splosion Man, Trials HD, and others would be a natural fit for the accelerometer and touch screen controls. Maybe they have a plan to port them, but it seems so damned slow!

    Is it water proof? That ad kind of suggests that it is. Maybe.

    While I'll agree that the Zune 30 is probably a bit bulky and the tan-lines too distinct (though not outright impossible), I must call you on the "Nobody keeps gadgets in their bikini bottoms" bit. People most certainly do, go to pretty much any beach, lake, or pool during the summer and you'll see at least half a dozen chicks with their cell phones or iPods peeking out as they sunbath.

    Hey now, don't dis my trusty Zune 30. I love that thing so much that it's keeping me from buying a Zune HD. At least until a 64 GB version comes out.

    Okay, I have had a Zune 30, and now I have an HD, but my question is, how in the heck do you know it's a Zune just from this pic?

    Oh shit, nevermind, I just opened my eyes and saw it laying there, my bad.

    The Zune 30, though design-wise dated, is still my main choice of music devices. Mine has fallen to the ground more than a redhead in St Patty's day and is still going strong. It's only weak point is the Zune Software, IMO.

    What's wrong with a Zune 30? this would absolutely would not be too heavy . Keep in mind that she's sun bathing, laying on her back.

    You're one of those idiots that thinks that you're better than everyone because " you have an IPOD"

    The Zune is just as good as the IPOD, if not better. All I have to say is "Subscription service"

    Dan,

    You're a goddamn chauvinist pig.

    Did it ever occur to you that this woman may have modded her Zune 30, replacing the drive with a 240GB HDD, and then filled it with an eclectic assortment of music, encoded at 256 kbps or higher.

    No. It did not.

    You assumed that because she's a woman, modding is beyond her ken and that she picked a Zune 30 because her feeble woman brain didn't know any better. As Gloria Steinem famously observed, "a woman needs an iPod like a fish needs a cache of Pu-239."

    Screw you, Dan. Your caveman attitude is what's wrong with the internet.

    What I want to know is what the hell happened to her left hand. From how it's posed, you should be able to see her hand (specificlly her thumb) gripping the back of the rail, but there's nothing there.

    That's a really weird shaped pool. It's like they wanted a pool that's deeper at one end but they didn't quite understand gravity
