Xbox Live Games On The Zune HD? No.

There has been some news floating around the Internet about a listing at Amazon that mentions Xbox games on the new Zune HD.  Yes, the listing at Amazon for the Zune HD is there - but it gives away no secrets.

First of all, if you read it now, it no longer makes that claim.  They fixed it.

From what I have heard from the Zune team about the service, it just seems like this was just a butchered sentence trying to describe the integration with Xbox LIVE.  Nothing like "going to press" early.  Note that this isn't the first time this has happened with Amazon.

Of course Microsoft is evaluating how games take a role on Zune HD (there are casual games on Zune today) but integration on this level (at this point at least) just isn't going to happen this round.
