Zune Hooking Up with the Xbox 360?

I know we said Microsoft‘s Argo…er…Zune will not have support for games, but the newest rumors about the supposed iPod killer say that you can hook up the device into your 360s.

Unfortunately, it won’t be for gaming purposes – it’s more likely for music integration.

Apple’s iPod is able to share music with Microsoft’s console through a USB cable, and since this is the “killer,” it’s going to be able to do the same. It’s just speculation, but if this device is really going head-to-head with the iPod, it’s got to be able to do the same – or do better.

And it might do better considering that there are incompatibility issues with iTunes-bought files. Music bought from Microsoft stores will probably not have the same problem, especially because such bought music will be sponsored alongside Zune.

Here’s also another rumor to feed this iPod killer frenzy: there might be an iPod Nano competitor in the works too. Dubbed as “Pixas,” this device is said to feature video support like that used in high-end iPods. It’s also possible that it can be hooked up to the Xbox 360, allowing you to watch videos on the console.

All these are still rumors as Microsoft has not yet confirmed or denied any of them. But it would be so great if some new device that will give us options would enter the market soon. I’m keeping my fingers crossed until then.
