Dan over at Channel9 posted a video interview with Mike Klucher from XNA. He talks quite a bit about what we should expect to see with zune gaming, and how it will be delivered. Among many XNA-related things shown in this video, you also get a sneak peak at a game called "Alien Takeover" demonstrated using a zune 80. The good news is we should see an initial test version out within about 3 weeks, which will allow developers/users to get a taste of XNA on zune. Although they do emphasize the fact it is aimed more toward developers, anyone can download XNA studios 3.0 , and by getting your hands on .zip file of someone's game, you can easily play it. All I can say is, it's about time we got some more info on XNA with zune!
Edit: The video has been uploaded to youtube(Thanks to WetWorker of ZuneCards.net), so you can watch parts 1&2 after the break.

Lol… if you look closely at the video, Zune crashes due to the game being run (not exactly good publicity for MS) and to add more insult, if you look more closely, you will see a mac tower in the background.
Humm… wonder what a XNA developer working for 2.5 yrs at MS is doing with a Mac
True, but everything has bugs when it first comes out. Â Also if you look even closer there is a PC tower right next to the mac tower. Doesn’t really matter I work on a mac and pc everyday and own a Zune.Â
