It's not all games and motion control for Microsoft at E3 this year-- the company has just announced that the complete library of Zune music is joining the video options already available on the Xbox 360. Details are still a bit light otherwise, but you can rest assured that it's both Kinect and Bieber compatible.
Update: Microsoft has now at least revealed a few more details, confirming that Zune Pass subscribers will have on-demand, instant streaming access to a full seven million tracks, and that the service will "seamlessly" integrate with the 16,000 music videos already available on Xbox Live -- if you own a video, it'll automatically start playing during the corresponding song.

3 ways to tell you're homo:
1. You get excited when you see Justin Bieber's face
2. You get happy when you hear Justin Bieber's voice
3. YOU LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER
now that zune has been brought to the xbox how about xbox live on the zune?
@JmHal
You'll be buying a Zune HD2 or Windows Phone 7 for that, the old Zunes were a North American market test, the real devices will be the international devices.

well i have a zune hd which I now realize was a $300 beta testing program paid for by the customers. now that they know the UI works and people like it they're using for their phone platform and zune hd2. upon realizing all this a few months ago when the rumors about the next zune hd started up along will the windows phone announcement i became pretty POed, still am, and decided that due to poor support (I mean 22 apps, come on) i will not buy any more zune crap or windows phone (regardless of how good it may look) and my patronage to next gen xbox is doubtful. My experience with MSFT products is that they, MSFT, like to screw you over.

So, talking about something else besides justin bieber, whose face should not have appeared there... Is the Zune Pass now going to be available to other countries where Xbox live is valid? Maybe this was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it
@artstate Zune will be going international this fall due to WP7... It makes sense that MS now add that service to Xbox 360 which is also International.
well. not diggin the queirber. but on a serious note, is there any chance of this coming to, lets say, canada? im sick of watching america get all the benefits
