Microsoft has confirmed gaming capabilities for the new Zune HD via a promotional video posted online.

The Zune HD features a 3.3-inch OLED touch screen with 480 x 272 resolution and 16:9 display. It is considered Microsoft's first viable competition to the iPod at $219.99 and $289.99 for the 16GB and 32GB respectively.


Amazon is currently offering the Zune HD for pre-order; however, only the black and platinum editions can be pre-ordered:

Zune HD 16 GB
Zune HD 32 GB (Platinum)

I gotta admit, as much as I love Apple and their products, this zune looks like it will kick the ipod touch's ass. Way better processor specs, OLED high-res screen, hd radio, wireless syncing, this is definitely gonna be the first zune I plan to purchase. Competition = Better Products from both Apple & Microsoft.
