Microsoft will be testing another potentially explosive tie-in for the Zune. The special edition Halo 3 Zune did really well for them and it’s time for Gears of War 2 to prove its popularity. If indeed GOW 2 could help the Zune 120 (120GB) sell, it’ll prove that Halo 3 is not the only game in town. I’m just wondering, however, why Microsoft would want to build up the Zune’s image as the PMP boys who likes guns and explosions would love to have. You may remember they gave 300 Halo 3 Zunes to soldiers and thought it was a good idea to sell the Zune in G.I. stores.
