re: Zune Pass Content Not Available with Xbox 360 Update

Unless I am missing something is there a reason why the Zune Pass content is not available to stream thru the new Xbox 360 Update.  I was lucky enough to get into the Update Preview, and that was one of the 1st things that I noticed about the Zune Marketplace Music section.  Everything that I looked at in that section was for purchase only.  Having access to stream content off the Zune Marketplace would eliminate the need to setup the Zune software to allow the 360 to access the content in my Collection.

I also don't see why we can't have a full Zune experience on the Xbox. But at least we have the video store for now. But it's not like I could use Marketplace streaming on the Xbox anyways since I'm in Canada

Well there was also my confusion by the Music section where Last.fm is located actually being Music Videos, and not regular music.  But I certainly do hope that they add the ability to access music thru the Xbox 360.  I understand that you can stream the music from your PC, but right now I am not at home where my music is located.  I brought my Xbox with me while I recover from surgery at my parents house, so it would be nice to just be able to stream right from the Zune Music Marketplace.  Now, back to playing with my new Zune HD, just hope they fix the firmware issue affecting play counts soon.

I'm guessing those music videos are there because of the Xbox/Zune video marketplace merge. From what I hear though, in the US if you're a Zune Pass subscriber you can listen to your Zune Pass collection on Zune.net on any computer. So if you have a PC or Mac or a latptop in the same room you can listen to your Zune Pass that way.

I am in the preview as well, and like you, couldn't believe that last.fm is now how I have to stream music through the xbox.  I though for sure that I would be able to stream zune pass songs, but this is not the case.  That was the one feature I was hoping for in the update.  Well hopefully it is added soon!

Apparently you can already stream zune pass content.  See this thread: http://forums.zune.net/537173/ShowPost.aspx

The key, I think, is your log in for xbox live and zune pass need to be the same.  It doesn't work for me because my son's xbox live id and my zune pass id are different so I can't personally confirm what other posters have said.  I have been thinking of cancelling my current zunepass sub and signing up under my son's ID if I know 100% that it will work or if that is the best way for me to get zunepass streaming on xbox.

How about someone from MS verify that streaming zunepass on an xbox is possible (or not possible) and if so, how?  jetherealz possible topic for Zune podcast?

Zune pass is allowed on three devices, why wouldn't xbox be one of the 3 possible devices?
