HTC Radar & XBOX Kinect Demo

by Siddhartha Kumar on September 29, 2011

in News

Microsoft has previously announced that Windows Phone 7.5 will include companion support for its Xbox 360 console. The company now appears to be on the verge of bringing that support to the mass market. The recent launch of the HTC Radar saw the company demonstrate an individual using the Windows Phone device to control elements of an Xbox 360 game. Microsoft demonstrated similar integration last month at the company’s GameFest conference in Seattle. Here is a more recent update on that.

Buy a Samsung Omnia 7 and get a FREE Xbox 360 Console with Kinect

Xbox 360 Omnia 7

Xbox 360 Omnia 7


The good folks at Optus Mobile are giving away Xbox 360 Console with Kinect when you get the Samsung Omnia 7 on their $79 Optus Cap Plan for 24 months, the offer ends on 28/02/11 unless they choose to extended it further. I currently have a the same plan with Optus but being an early adopter I don’t think I get to reap the benefits of this deal. If you are looking to get a new WP7 device have a look at the Omnia 7 its a great device and you get an xBox 360 ( 4 GB ) + Kinect and 2 games Kinect Adventures and FORZA Motorspor 3 .. sounds like a sweet deal to me.

This is only available for Australians, sorry ( international readers ) if I got your hopes high. If you guys have a great deal for WP7 in your country ,feel free to drop us a tip

Another WindowsPhone advert, now with added avatar.

by Cris Rowlands on December 10, 2010

in News

Microsoft have bought out a new advert, in their on-going effort to promote WindowsPhone7. Here are several things I like about this it:

  • It shows a real feature; displaying your 3D avatar in the X-Box Live Extras app.
  • It shows a real WP7 game, Need for Speed : undercover.
  • It includes some humour thanks to a life-size avatar doing his “sexy dance”.
  • It moves away from the ‘glance n’ go’ style they had been working with, which might give the wrong impression about WP7 & shows that its actually a fun platform.
  • Then there is the line  ”You’re an avatar dan.” Which I think Ill be quoting to many of my friends who haven’t a clue what I’m on about.

The last thing I really like is that they have made a model of the phone they use in all of their advertising, now who else out there would join me in saying they would be more than happy with a phone like that? Its THE windows phone; simple, elegant & sexy.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch the advert here:

So, what do you all think of this new offering from Microsoft’s marketing department?
Let us know what you’re thinking by putting a comment below!

Major Nelson’s WP7 Xbox Live Event – just the important stuff

by Saijo George on August 30, 2010

in Uncategorized

Remember the XBox Live Live chat event with Major Nelson, there was such a huge demand for it their servers crashed ( so anyone still think one one cares about xBox Live on WP7 ??? ), but they have uploaded the video from the event and Here are the key point that was discussed.. ( kudos to MobilityDigest via WMPU )

  • All props purchased on the game console appears and are available on the phone.
  • Change your avatar on the go.
  • The turn based gaming can be played with people on Windows Phone 7, Xbox Game Console and PC! Three screens and a cloud indeed!! The requirement of course being the game being on each platform.
  • They emphasized that the first wave of games announced is just that-the first wave! More will be announced between now and launch.
  • Xbox Live is the center so if a service connects to Xbox Live service it can be used to play games.
  • No double downloading of titles. Simply download the free trial and when you purchase it from inside the game the rest of the game simply unlocks.
  • Microsoft Game Studios – Windows Phone 7 is the only phone platform with a first party game studio dedicated to building quality games for the platform.
  • Can send and receive messages to Xbox Console and vice versa.
  • Microsoft intends on proactively seeking out the best games for the gaming portfolio. Yes that includes popular games from other mobile platforms.
  • Got to buy the games on the console, phone, pc separately.
  • Multitasking
    • If you get a text message the notification dropdown menu appears.
    • If you answer an incoming call, the game pauses and you return to it immediately after the call ends.
  • Avatar Gadgets – Neat things the avatar can do to add fun to simple tasks. Flashlight, coin flip, level app, etc.
  • Developers have access to avatars to produce unique experiences. Basically developers can make avatars used in games.
  • Bejeweled Live is a unique version of the game available only on Xbox Live. An example of additional features and services being added on as a Xbox Live title.
  • What type of games available at launch: All kinds for all ages and interests.
  • There will be unique gamer points only available by purchasing the gaming title on the phone.
  • Windows Phone 7 is the ONLY place to get Xbox Live support.
  • You can be signed in simultaneously on the console and phone.
  • Major Nelson wanted to make sure everyone knew there are still a couple tricks up their sleeve as far as gaming titles being announced.
