Where is the “Sign in” box in my Zune software?

I have had the Zune Software installed for a long time now and I’m pretty happy with it as a music player (used it before I got my Windows Phone 7). Sometime ago I saw some screenshots where I saw a little “Sign in” link in the top of the Zune Software, which I had never seen in my version of it.
I tried different things like reinstalling etc., but it didn’t work. Even though it were pretty annoying to me that I didn’t have that, I forgot about this little issue until today.

I talked with a guy over twitter, who asked me to try and change my Location to US instead of Denmark. I did, and bang! it now works and I can browse for Windows Phone 7 apps etc. Pretty cool Smile

So go to the Control Panel and find “Region and Language”. You should see a window like this:

After you changed it, open Zune again and it should work.

Before my Zune looked like this.

Now, after changing my Location, it looks like this. I can login and have access to the Marketplace. Many of the Zune services isn’t available in my country so I can’t buy anything, but still I can browse the Marketplace which is very useful for me these days.

RambukGames announcing a Windows Phone 7 game–plan bee

Yesterday we – RambukGames – announced a little Windows Phone 7 game, plan bee, which we have been working on for some time now.

This is what we have been talking about on twitter for the last couple of weeks!

[more]

‘plan bee’ is a casual arcade game for Windows Phone 7 designed to be playable and fun, even when you only got a few minutes to spare.

You take control of a bee, whose mission is to pollinate flowers. This becomes more of a challenge when spiders start attacking you while trying to land safely on flowers to avoid losing precious pollen.

Read the official announcement here and see more screenshots:
