The Game Development FAQ answers some questions we've had around here about the Zune Games announcement of earlier this week (nothing on the rumored xBox/Wifi connection).

The facts we find most interesting are that the process supports all existing Zune players, no sharing of games wirelessly (yet), games will be deployed via a connection with the PC, and (the rather odd announcement that) DRM licensed tunes can't be played during a game.

Obviously, read the rest at the XNA site.

In terms of Wired's question of what a wireless and xBox connection would do, we think game launching from xBox Live would be pretty cool (what is Zune Live anyway?). The FAQ says "No, the Zune doesn’t connectto Xbox LIVE. All networking takes place over a local ad-hoc wi-fi network." Does that hasty typo-ridden response indicate someone isn't ready to announce something yet?

You have to ask?
