Zune XD Xbox Video Demo At E3 - What I Saw
So I'm here in the Target sponsored "BullsEye Lounge." Free wifi, water and cookies - what more do I need?
Got the "demo" of Zune HD on Xbox. To be totally honest, I have to stress that this was a demo and that they had special boxes that basically showed what they wanted us to see and nothing else.
Question #1 - Does Zune HD in Xbox include Podcast content?
Not in the demo and booth worker didn't know. I asked both booth workers and got the same response.
Question #2 - When does it launch?
"Fall." Yeah, I know …
Question #3 - What about music in Zune in Xbox?
Nothing in the demo. The LastFm.com stuff looked great though.
Question #4 - Any last FM / Zune integration?
Not in the demo.
Question #5 - Learn anything today that you didn't learn yesterday?
Not really. Did get to see the Xbox group really excited about Zune though.
Question #6 - Is Zune really nothing more than a naming/marketing thing at this point? Does Zune on the Xbox have anything to do with the device and music we love?
Just don't know enough at this point.
Question #7 - Was it least a real kick in the pants to see the Zune logo in the Xbox screen?
You bet it was!
There we go, honest answers …
