    Re: Zune 2nd Generation

    You could have found the answer to that very easily by reading both the forums and any of the news re XNA 3.0 on the internet. Beta in 'Spring', Final Release in 'Holiday 2008' (read: end of the year).

    From the FAQ:
    A preview release of XNA Game Studio 3.0 will be available in the Spring 2008 timeframe, with a final release scheduled for the holiday 2008 season.


    Spring is also far from over (at least in the US). Spring here lasts until June, so there is plenty of time left for a spring release.

    Nobody knows the exact month. The closest we have is from the FAQ which is spring 2008. Spring in the US is anytime between now and June. The beta could come out next month or it might be early June or anywhere in between. You'll just have to be patient, wait, and see when the announce it.

    Basically just think of a turn based game, or tactical turn based, a list of what you can do, and you highlight by scrolling then act, really basic coding for turn based games, you could intigrate like a galixa game style, 2D driving game (top down). Poker, Black Jack. Slots with a money counting system. Earth Defender with the touch scroll. Those are ideas so when we are able to create games for it, use your imagination about it, personally I already have ideas.

    Well I replaced my iPod with a little 4GB Zune. So where's that beta? ;). I want to put Alien Aggressors on the Zune. :)

    Thanks for the fast response before guys! You rock! I have another question, though. I was just wondering what the color count will be for sprites in the games. 16-bit? 24? 32? And will there be a supported Alpha layer?

    I'd bet 24 or 32 with an alpha channel. My new Zune displays some amazing looking cover art and the whole interface is rather nice looking so I'd be amazed if they were doing it with less.

    Hi all.

    I am not particularly looking for an mp3 player, but I had a quick search on amazon.co.uk for Zunes.....

    It's like a desolate wasteland!

    Is there a supply problem at the moment?

    Zunes are only currently available in the USA.... Canada is coming soon and Europe is 'rumoured' to be later this year or even 2009 .... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune#Availability_outside_the_U.S

    Oops, sorry, I had no idea they wheren't available all over the world!

    (I really don't pay much attention to mp3 devicey things)

    That explains the lack of them on amazon.

    ps.. I am actually mildly shocked.
