Zune to Play Games by 2008

In a continued effort to dish out whatever Apple's iPod dishes, Microsoft has revealed plans to bring games to the Zune, its new digital music player, reports Joystiq.

The Zune will be ready for the games in July 2007, according to a Bloomberg.com report. No specific games have been announced; Joystiq speculates XBox Arcade favorites like Geometry Wars and Uno will make the jump "complete with wireless play and Live Anywhere integration."

Apple recently embraced gaming on its iPod players.

As New York analyst Michael Gartenburg puts it, "It's not like the music enthusiasts have been flocking to Zune, and they need to really answer Apple in terms of feature parity."
