Windows 8: Removing the Bridge Between PC Gamers and XBOX Gamers



Hey everyone, I have been reading and following the news on Windows 8. I understand that there is some software in the Windows 8 package that allows for XBOX games to be played on PCs. Didn't know if anyone has heard or read any other information that is more specific....

Calm down, mate! That topic was months ago! How would triticoj know about it?? Man, mate, sometimes you are not new-user-friendly!

Sorry Dan but I had to laugh when I read this. It's like reading almost anything posted by the LoL community on their forums.

Define obviously.

Through all the differences it is still perfection.

The search bar is lacking a little. It does sometimes forget to show some threads. I have been looking for all of my old threads to bookmark and I have been struggling for ever with it.

Cut him some slack.

Anything worth having is worth working hard for.

That would be amazing. I have not read about this yet, but I would love that feature.

For example, just now I felt like playing Halo Wars, but I left my Xbox at home this week. I was wishing I could play it on PC instead (but still use my Xbox Live account and all that).

I used to be active in the testing community (not professionally, just as a hobby), but I have not been around it much recently and didn't contribute much in the last test so I don't know if I'll be called on anytime soon. I wish I could test that if it does exist though...

If actions speak louder than words, why is the pen mightier than the sword?

Hey guys, sorry for making a post on a similar topic. I did not find anything related to this so I must not have looked diligently enough. Anyways, I have been following this for some time looking online and reading various magazines about it. It's an interesting topic and hopefully Microsoft will make it a great feature on their new OS. MAXIMUM PC just had a story on the consumer preview on Windows 8, but they did not mention much about this feature except that it was a plus. I will try and look better next time, though I would enjoy hearing what others have found.

Don't apologize, it happens especially since you are new and I doubt you were even here when a thread about it was made. I would rather see an updated post on a topic than someone resurrecting a thread from over 6 months ago.

Does the search bar even work properly?

I never heard about such a thing (well atleast "legally")
that would indeed be awesome, never liked the console exclusive shit, its all about money making, good games should be enjoyed by all. Guess there are less companies which consider this
