Yes, ZuneInsider (Cesar M.) has said that Games are a long ways from reaching joe consumer. My guess is that Zune MarketPlace will not have downloadable game content until sometime next year.

I believe you are misinterpretting this. From what I understand, you will be able to play games with other Zune users if the game is designed for it. But Zune's Wireless Sync of Music/Content will be disabled while you play a game. Makes sense to me.

Yeah, I hope Microsoft will reconsider this at some point. Noone is looking at this to replace their game consoles. I might let this skirt by if XBox can access & play Zune based games while the Zune is plugged into XBox (USB).
