Zune 3.0 Gaming & Wireless Purchase Experience
December 18th, 2009 by zune
I was invited to come down to the Microsoft Zune headquarters and be briefed on the new Zune 3.0 release, and here’s a quick video I shot that shows a brief look at the new Hexic game on the Zune, along with a video showing the experience of searching for and purchasing a song over WiFi on the Zune. This demo was being shown connecting test servers because this service isn’t live yet, so the delays were trimmed out. The Zune 3.0 software update will be released on September 16th. This video …

I think only the Zune team knows that.
But if they follow their historical pattern, I’d say sometime in the spring of this year.

Hopefully,Zune adds more latest games to the Games list.I’m a Zune 4,30 and 120 gig owner and an iPod Touch for web browsing.

Do you think we need a Zune pass/Microsoft points to get it?

You won’t see the Marketplace menu option unless, I believe, your desktop computer also has the Marketplace option - and it won’t have that unless your computer location (set via Control Panel) is set to the United States of America. The Zune team went to great lengths to make things not work properly for people outside the USA.

I have a question.

I’m sorry dude. I just thought I was ignored.
Thanks for the help.

I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m honestly a bit stunned at how so many people on YouTube are unwilling to try and find answers themselves and instead post comments here expecting the video owner to help them. If you Google “zune tech support”, the very first result is the official Zune tech support page, with a phone number and everything! Is that really so hard?

I sent you a message. I’m waiting for a response so I could get help with my Zune.

Try again, or try updating your Zune from a different computer then - I think something’s messed up with your computer, because the Zune 3.0 firmware is definitely not off line.

when i go to update the firmware to 3.0 it says page not found
December 18th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Hold up and back button then it resets.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:17 am
First, look up how to do a hard reset, which will restore the original firmware, then dock the Zune and it will re-flash the software on the device to the 3.0 release.

December 18th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Only if you have a Zune Pass - and that’s $15 per month, not free.
