Xbox Live Games for Windows Phone 7 Revealed

[irh_1974]

In a single hit, WP7 just became interesting.
It became the Zune Phone and Xbox Portable all at the same time.
Step aside iPhone, it's now a 2 horse race between WP7 and Android.

Plug your usb gaming controller (XBOX360 controller too) into your new Win Phone 7.
Hahahahaha.....

[citation][nom]hellwig[/nom]Are these games free to play with your pay-to-connect XBox Live subscription, or will you still have to buy the games to play them? I'm unfamiliar with XBox Live (don't own an XBox and wouldn't want to pay another $15/mo just to connect it to the internet). If the subscription is free and the games are for-ay, that's good. If the subscription is pay but the games are free or extremely cheap, thats fine. If you gotta pay $15/mo + $5-$10 per game, no thanks, it is just a phone for chrissake.Still, at launch, Windows Phone 7 will have more games available than they made available under Games for Windows Live! in like 3 years, so at least they're trying this time.[/citation]

Dell is selling subscriptions to XBL for $30 a year right now. That's $2.50 a month.

Halo: Waypoint is not a real game. It's available free for download on Xbox's now. It's more or less something you can track your achievements in all the other Halo games. I think it does some other stuff too, but I don't remember what.

[citation][nom]TheDuke[/nom]no way they would charge for Live on the phoneshopefully they realized with GFWL and its failure to get subscriptions[/citation]If they made it so the same Live Gold account can be used for a WP7 device and Xbox 360, it would totally be worth it. Same Gold account, now with XBL on the go.
[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]There are cell phones that have (or are coming out with) an HDMI port. All you need is a bluetooth controller and you're set. Of course the resolution and graphics on a TV will be pretty awful.[/citation]Why? Given the kind of hardware they're talking about, it will look better than the Wii.
