Here is some additional info on the zune and how you can do things with it using your Xbox 360:

Enhance the Xbox 360 Experience with Zune

Take your music, pictures or videos wherever you go and share with friends when you get there. Just plug a Zune into any Xbox 360 and enjoy your Zune on the best screen and speakers in the house.

How does it work? Simply attach the Zune’s Sync cable and plug into any of the three Xbox 360 USB ports. Then navigate to the Media blade and choose what you want to play—Music, Pictures or Video. You’ll use the Xbox 360 controller to manage playback.

Custom Game Soundtracks
If you’re not ’in tune’ with the in-game sound or music you can customize the soundtrack for any Xbox 360 game by plugging in your Zune to play your favorite tunes.

Stream Your Media
Set up the ultimate home entertainment system with Zune and Xbox 360. Using the Zune software and your home wired or wireless network, you can stream your favorite music, videos, and pictures from the Zune library on your computer to Xbox 360 consoles anywhere in your house.

Did you know?
You can charge a Zune by connecting it via the USB sync cable to an Xbox 360. You can navigate through the media on your Xbox 360 using the Zune remote.

The Zune and Xbox 360 Marketplaces both work on the same Microsoft Points system. You can use Xbox Live Points Cards to redeem points for the Zune Marketplace, where you can purchase from over 2 million songs. And...Zune Points cards work on Xbox Live too. If you set up your Zune with the same account used for Xbox Live you can even share your points bal-ance across each service!

You can choose from a full line of accessories to outfit your Zune. Three Zune Accessory Packs provide complete solutions for Zune in your car, in your home or while you travel. Individual accessories are also available.

Online music store. You can browse the huge selection of music designed to work seamlessly with your Zune in the Zune Marketplace. When you find new music that you love, it’s simple to buy it and sync it on your player. The Zune Marketplace works with the Microsoft® Points program so you can purchase music online without a credit card.

Import your music. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media® Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings, as permitted by the online service from which it was purchased.

It only gets better. As Zune evolves, your device can be easily updated. The Zune software on your PC5 will let you know when updates are available for download. And with built-in wireless capability in each player, the future is filled with possibilities.
