Well, maybe, maybe not. You can already, today, play your games on a friend's Xbox, as long as you're signed into your live account (you can download them there I think right?). Worst case scenario you can bring along your storage device. All this Xbox TV and movie stuff? With the TV shows, you can log into Xbox 360 at a friends house and download a TV show that you bought on your own Xbox - that's one of the main reasons why Microsoft gives you the standard definition TV show for free when you buy the HD version. So, trust me, they're really thinking about this - and I think they grasp that people will not want to pay for the same game/content for every device they have.

No, of course not - I wasn't suggesting that the Zune would be able to play a game at 1920 x 1200 resolution.

But they can scale down the graphics and voila. Although whether or not the games are charged for may depend on how much work porting it will be.

What exactly about the Zune today makes what I'm talking about impossible?
