Many people ask about this, so here are links and instructions:


-Download Visual Studio 2008 C# from this list (it's the green one): http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/#webInstall

-Download XNA 3.1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid

-Download XNA 3.1 Zune Extensions: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID

-Install them IN ORDER DOWNLOADED

-Set up your Zune HD by going to the toolbar, under Tools, "XNA Game Studio Device Center".

-Double Click any .ccgame file and choose "Deploy".

Note: if the file is a folder full of stuff, look for the green icon for a .sln file. Run that. Visual Studio will pop up. On the toolbar, select "Build", then click "Deploy Solution".

A few more things:

XNA created games will always restart your device when they exit. This is not a bug, and there is no work-around.

You can delete XNA games from your device by tapping and holding your finger on the name of the game, then selecting delete when the dialog pops up.

Be sure to give the creators some feedback and visit sites like ZHDApps.com to help the community!

Gotta be honest, nothing really good out there in terms of 3rd party apps and games. Also, when you exit the game/app, it completely restarts the Zune HD. Microsoft needs to open this up officially....NOW!

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but after I started adding XNA games, my Zune HD kept getting errors when trying to sync with my computer. If you experience that, I found that if you erase all the content off your player, it resolves it.

It's highly speculated that Windows Phone 7 Series is going to be Zune's saving grace in terms of the App Marketplace. Many people agree that WinPhone7 will be compatible with Zune apps and vice-versa, so we should soon be seeing an influx of good applications coming to the HD-- and possibly even an official SDK and application approval process for the Marketplace proper.
