Skype Heading to Xbox 360
« on: April 20, 2012, 07:13:54 AM »

After Microsoft’s Skype acquisition last May, many have been waiting to see what changes might be coming to the popular VOIP service. A job listing at Microsoft seems to have given it all away though, as they are currently looking to hire a ‘Software Development, Engineer, Xbox – Skype’

Reading from the description -


This job listing is all there is to go off at the moment, but it certainly sounds like Skype is on the way to the Xbox platform. With E3 only a couple of months away, it would seem the perfect time for Microsoft to announce another wave of their Entertainment Apps which have become increasingly popular with services such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, and LoveFilm just to name a few.

There’s always the chance that it could tie directly into the Party Chat system already available on the platform, with the ability for users on other devices to join an Xbox Live Party Chat….but that’s just all speculation at the moment.

How do you think this app will affect the XBL experience?

Kinect has Kinect to kinect video chat only and is crap, the kinect is set up in a way, it does not function as a standard xbox vision cam, it will not do in game video and it will not take pics for avatars etc in games like tigerwoods.

this is a true skype platform for VOIP. some more step closer to a complete media system.

Skype will allow video chat between the xbox and cell phones, laptops and other skype devices. If you have a paid account such as us, you will be able to order a pizza while gaming...... NICE.

Ok wow, nevermind then. Ordering pizza while gaming is pretty cool. I used to skype with my family in indiana when i was in arizona and it SUCKED. Super laggy and froze all the time. I know it aint my comp or my internet. I switched to oovoo and thats way better video chat than skype. Hopefully the new and improved skype for xbox is much better.

Skype has come a long way. We don't even own a land line phone anymore. I dint have any lag issues anymore with Skype. A few years ago it had issues but a different story now says. The fact that i can call urn cell phone now from my laptop is great and to be able to do this to call friends from my box friends list will be cool. Andddi the direct aspect so now i can say "xbox, call crazymodder" is going to be awesome. I envision a day where all aspects of my digital media, gaming, and social interaction in one integrated system.

yes but how many children or teenagers are the ones who set up all the computers and technology in the home and would find it easy to get passed there parents any controls etc. this generation of parents just coming up now are probably one of the first lot of parents who universally can set up tech for there kids instead of the other way round. at least that was the case in me and my friends our parents wernt particularly tech savvie so we would set up everything in the house even the internet and therefore had no parental controls what so ever on our computers.
