3D Gaming coming to Zune HD

3D is here to stay with Sony entering the 3D market with an impressive showing of Wipeout HD in True 3D. Microsoft is looking to take portable 3D to the mainstream and one up Apple's devil candy the iPods.

Over the weekend, several demo videos were posted online and then quickly yanked; As you can see in the clip below, the Zune HD is briefly shown playing a 3D racing game, while the voiceover highlights that the PMP will also allow for gameplay.

Since the Zune HD is based on NVIDIA’s Tegra chipset – a 720p HD-capable platform with HDMI output and hardware video acceleration – that really comes as no surprise, but it’s been a factor Microsoft themselves have been decidedly quiet on until now. The PMP officially arrives tomorrow, priced at $220 for the 16GB model and $290 for the 32GB version. Video after the Jump:
