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.

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!

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.

Here is something new that we might see a lot on WP7 , XBox and other Microsoft technology , It looks like Chevrolet is launching a multi-screen advertising campaign with Microsoft. So we will be seeing a WP7 App for the Chevrolet Volt which will give you wallpapers and Videos about the car along with info on Chevrolet Volt related events near you ?? got me thinking about the iAds Toy Story app that Steve demoed a while ago… is this an App or an Ad ? With the xBox 360 the ads are more integrated within the game. The volt will be a playable car on Joy Ride, a controller free racing game on xBox 360 Kinect . From the video it will also make its appearance on MSN auto and Surface ??

I want to know one thing can I remove the app from WP7 if I don’t use it ?
