Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games

The specturm that typical Wireless B/G uses is 2.401 - 2.495 GHz, which is an open and unlicensed spectrum and can be used by any device for wireless. The Xbox 360 controllers utilize a 2.4 GHz spectrum, however that one is closed and reserved for only their use via a spectrum license. Therefore, I do not see an easy way to get the Xbox 360 controllers to work with a Windows Phone 7 hardware device, as the spectrums will not match and therefore the devices will not see each other.

The Xbox 360 controllers can utilize a small USB wireless receiver for connectivity with a PC for gaming, but the USB receiver is known to draw a good deal of power and even if you could get it to work with a Windows Phone 7 device, it would likely draw too much power and drain the battery of the device very quickly.

I think what they were talking about at MWC is a new line of mobile platform games that will allow users to play new and ported games on their phones; which will help increase their gamerscore and allow them to play with their current friends on XBL. Unless anyone here can convince me that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would actually run on a mobile device.

Yeah, good luck with that.
