Zune Comes To Xbox Live - Current Rumor

The Guardian (respected U.K. Paper) reports that, among other things, Zune is coming Xbox live.  They list as their source "Chris Stevenson, Microsoft's General Manager of Consumer Marketing for TV, Video and Music Business."  Sounds pretty legit.

According to the article,

  • Zune Marketplace will be available on Xbox Live.
  • Options include streaming, download to rent and download to own.
  • Subscription option will allow for a download as much as you want option.
  • Could bring Zune Marketplace audience from 5 million to 17 million.
  • Confirmed Zune HD talking points include 16:9 widescreen OLED touch display, HD Radio, internet browser optimized for multi-touch and Wi-Fi functionality.  Also announced is a premium HDMI out dock for the new device.

Obviously, this remains rumor until Microsoft "officially" confirms - but this continues to sound more and more like the real thing.
