"Games for Windows - Live" beta

[plugged_in]

Hey all I thought i would share this with you all since you see im such a nice person.
M$ are giving people the chance to particpate in their live anywhere system. Even if you hate m$ you can not stop to know this is going to be big.

Are you interested in being part of a select group that is invited to help beta test a new service that lets Windows gamers connect with their friends on the Xbox through the LIVE gaming network?

Enjoy

I tried to sign up...... the form crashed every time

Worked for me ok

I don't see how the PC - X360 link-up will work well.
Every 360 will have the same hardware spec, same settings in game (to a degree), the only real difference will be the size of TV/monitor you are running.
But no two PC's are going to be the same.
I can see a lot of lag and packet loss for PC gamers in 360 games.

I guess this is why its still in beta to see what can be done.
But hey if it means i get to play halo3 or halowars before it hits the shelf then rock on m$

I signed up as I got a invite from MS....

although I doubt I'll get picked as I have dont have a x360 [or a live account] lol

But I do have a PC and the idea is that players on PC's can play against players on X360 [and vice versa] so you never know hehe

Cheers
