Yesterday Skype released their 2.0 VoIP video phone and I got a chance to talk to Major Nelson, I asked him how long before we can see each other on XBOX Live, he said lots of cool things are in the works.
I joined XBOX Live in August 2002 as a beta tester, Gamertag: condor, they began charging us on 11/1/02 so my third subscription just ran out on the 30th. Reading my feeds last night I noticed that Chris Pirillo was giving away four Gold Subscriptions to XBOX Live to people who participated in his internet talk show, so I called in, spoke to Major Nelson and won another year of fun on XBOX Live!
The release of XBOX 360 has been a huge event but once you're hooked up to you won't notice the machine you'll be in the game. It's all about the game and now as we approach a critical mass XBOX Live will fulfill it's destiny and transcend the silicon, the fiber and the routers as we become the game.
