Microsoft takes its time over Xbox 360 Skype integration

It has been seven-and-a-half months since Microsoft acquired Skype in a $8.5 billion buyout last year, yet the software giant has yet to roll out the video calling platform across its key services, including Xbox 360. And it is believed that we may have to wait longer still for the games console version, with a suggestion that it won't be available until 2013.

I really hope this Skype integration isn't going to be just a run of the mill bog standard app with voice and video chat, although that would be great and all i feel Microsoft could do more with it.

What id like for them to do is integrate it into the already existing Xbox live chat/party chat. We all know the party is already pretty good but the skype sound quality is just on another level..... they could even go as far as to make it perform over multiple platforms example: Guy A is on his Xbox, Guy B is on his PC and Guy C is on his phone while all being in the same party chat. I feel this would really help Microsoft in the long run..... even the Kinect could maybe use some of the Skype video encoding (although im not sure how good or bad Skype video is).

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.
