re: Will the Xbox 360 Controller be Used for Zune Gaming?

Preface:  Sorry if this has been discussed and sorry if it's a dumb question...

 

... are there plans to use the Xbox 360 controller to wirelessly sync with the Zune for gaming (when everything is officially released)?

no

To go into further reasoning for that, I remember reading that the 360 controllers had a proprietary wireless system, meaning the only thing that the wifi on the 360 can do is connect to the 360 controllers, and the only wifi the controllers have is enough to hook up to the 360. If Microsoft did make a cradle that would plug into the slot on wireless 360 controllers, than you could plug the Zune in, and it was somehow connected to the battery pack for extra support or something, I suppose that MIGHT be possible, not sure, and there's no backing behind the last part of that statement, it just seems like something that might be able to be done...
