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.

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...

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

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.

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

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.
