Xbox live preview questions!

I am in the Preview for the xbox live updates and I have a couple questions!!!

  1. Will I be able to sync content from my 360 to my Zune HD?
  2. Why can't I play my purchased music videos from the marketplace on my 360?
  3. Why would they bring last.fm to XBL instead of the Zune marketplace?

Re: Xbox live preview questions!
1. No. You'll have to download the video you purchased through the Zune video store on your Xbox 360 again on your PC to get it on your Zune. You only have to pay once.

2. same as answer 1, you'll have to download the video from the Zune Marketplace again on the Xbox. Again, you only have to pay once.

3. I don't know, I wish they would. Last.fm is their first step I guess, bringing streaming music to the Xbox 360 and being able to discover new music. Most reviewers say it's a great app to just leave on your Xbox when you're hosting a party or something as it's a continuing playlists of songs you like with artist slideshows to go along with it. I can see how Zune and Zune Pass on the Xbox can bring the same if not better experience but I think they're taking it one step at a time.

Either way, Canadians like myself lose out. We don't get either service :(

Thanks for the help! the only reason I asked was because there are some files that I don't have re-download. Like the web series The Guild. I can play them straight through the 360 streaming!

I'm guessing because they're free and might not have DRM, which is odd even for free video content but not that surprising. That series is also on MSN video and usually gets put on Youtube when the season ends.
