Awhile back, I wrote an article about improvements I would make to the Xbox360.  One such improvement was integrating the Zune into the Xbox360 platform.  Well, it looks like Microsoft had the same thing on their mind, because according to Gizmodo, we will see a tighter integration between the two devices.  Now, there is some level of integration already.  You can access the media purchased (including subscription-based) on the Zune marketplace by using the Media Center extender.  And, you can directly plug the Zune into the 360 to access the songs off of the device.  But, I would like the complete Zune experience on the Xbox360.  This includes the full software available on the PC (marketplace, visualizations, etc).  And off course, this would include the ability to manage your Zune from the 360 completely independent from your primary PC.

Anyways, it looks like my two favorite devices:  the Xbox360 and the Zune are finally coming together.  Now, I am just waiting on the update.
