My Xbox Live for iPad pictures and hands-on
Do you like this story?
Like the original Windows Phone 7 integration, My Xbox Live allows users to log into their, yep, you've guessed it, Xbox Live accounts, and basically fiddle with their Avatars, send messages to their friends, examine their achievements, that sort of thing.
To be honest, there's not much more to it than that, although you can also access many of the videos posted by the Xbox team in the "Spotlight" section, and we wouldn't be surprised if this also features sponsored trailers somewhere down the line.
The whole shebang is Metro-style and, therefore, looks like the new Xbox Dashboard Update released on 6 December, so there is some continuity, although your own Avatar pretty much accompanies you through each and every screen. There are some differences aesthetic differences between the iPhone and iPad versions, with the latter making great use of the much larger real estate, but the accessibility of both is the same.
You can also compare games with your friends, so can see if there's anything worth setting a beacon for. And you can see how far through a game you are, or how many more or less achievements you have, in comparison.
When totalled, there may not be that much content in My Xbox Live, but we find that it's a great companion for gaming on the Xbox 360. When you're in a game, you don't necessarily want to quit or pause in order to check your messages, or how far your mates may have got in the same game. Instead, you can keep your iPad or iPhone to one side, and use it instead.
It'd be nice if Microsoft added a feature where you could purchase content through the app that will download straight to your console the next time you boot, basically giving you access to the app store, but what's the betting that's on the roadmap already?
What do you think of the My Xbox Live app? What feature do you think it should also have? Let us know in the comments below...
