    Zune device media capabilities?

    I'm not asking exactly how to do this, but I want to know if it's possible, or will be in the in full 3.0 release...

     

    Since you're only allowed 16mb for the games on the Zune, would it be plausible to have someone download and sync specific music files and pictures to their Device? You could then use these files as resources outside your allotted 16mb. A check could be put in place at a loading screen to see if those files are synced, and then run the game if they are.

    I'm also gonna assume that video will be accessible in the full release, in which case it could be used in the same manner for cutscenes.

     

     

    Just me thinking, and wanting input/confirmation from the rest of XNA Club.

    The 16Mb limit for Zune Games is the IN MEMORY limit rather than the disc footprint

    Interesting idea though to share the sound/pictures storage. Add your ideas to Zune if you can think of great scenarios around them

    There has been no mention of video at all and since the rest of XNA on PC and Xbox does not support video we don't know if there will be. We will just have to wait and see.
