[mR_r0b0to]

[Atty]

I put my age as it will be when the beta commences. :)

[Cortexian]

*Lies about age*

Yay I'm 18-25 years old, in two years... Meh whats the difference?

[Zeph]

I signed up, bout doubt I'll get in because I still haven't gotten a 360.

Tell me how your going to play your PC and 360 at the same time.

[Zeph]

Tell me how your going to play your PC and 360 at the same time.

Live for Windows has incredibly deep interactivity between your PC and 360. In fact, one title has cross-platform play between the two.

[Cortexian]

Exactly, so how are you going to be on both at the same time? I don't have a 360 and I signed up, its not required. I can play other people...

[bfett9]

dude what are the prizes could we win a copy of halo 2 vista, Halo 3, xbox 360?? what do we get?

Who says there's only one user per home/connection? Also, whatever happened to steaming content back and forth between your computer and 360?

sigh......

did you even go to the website and READ anything ?

[bfett9]

yes i read it. it doesn't specify anything.:confused:

[p0lar_bear]

Then I guess, remember, this is a theory, complete speculation, that there are no prizes.

Perhaps because this is not a contest? I don't know, I'm think that's right because common sense says it is.

naa, too completely obvious.

[Pooky]

By having aimbots on both

[Atty]

Tell me how your going to play your PC and 360 at the same time.The one handed 360 controller and then a 12 button mouse with all commands mapped. It's easy.

[Cortexian]

Scils.

Imagine how fast the beta would end! New Beta's from big game studios are going to be timed, like the Halo 3 Beta...

[Bossniak]

BUMP OMG YO

[Atty]

I didn't get in. I thought I did but it was a notification I got in on another beta program. Oh well. :)

[Cortexian]

[TheGhost]

I got it. The Live Anywhere features are awesome and look like they'll make a really good addition in Games for Windows. The beta game is hilariously simple.
