[QUOTE="TheMoreYouOwn"]Well...except Xbox exclusivity. Heil68

In real world thats not a problem by any means. 360 wont lose any game and more ppl will be able to play them.

Indeed, i have to agree with that lol

Still, other than ownage factor, 360 owners wont be losing anything.

A few cracks and mods later and people will be playing illegal copies of Xbox 360 games no their PC for free. Microsoft has a lot to lose.

Buy Mass Effect 2 on the 360 and microsoft gets some money.

I think it is a great move for MS. Their user base will grow to unprecedented levels!!! A move like this = death to Sony!!!!

i think it would be great to be able to play my XBLA arcade games on my PC.

since my 360 broke a few month ago and i have no intention of buying another my XBLA library is now lost in the ether so being able to play them on the PC would be be great

Xbox 360 Compatibility for the win

I just hope it will be well coded and optimized.. it will be sad to play 2005 Xbox360 titles slow on any modern rig.

I would love it if they brought Xbox 360 games to PC. As long as Microsoft destroys Sony. I'm happy.

It's funny how cows are saying this would make Xbox fans mad. No it wouldn't. LOL. We've always wanted to include MS as part of PC as well since MS controls PC in my opinion, but they don't want to cuz it would make Sony look worse. Thats why every time I mention a game is exclusive to PC and 360, cows get upset. "NO NO NO man that don't count." LOL.

Very true, if this goes through it would no longer be PS4 Vs XboxNext but rather Vs Xbox Live (PC and/or XboxNext). PC and the XboxNext would be considered one package, for a synergy of gaming goodness. PC gaming would skyrocket!

This is nothing but a rumour at this point. All that has been confirmed is that Windows 8 integrates the Xbox Live service in some way (no features have been revealed). There are reportedly Xbox 360 references in the Windows 8 kernel, but without any context this could refer to just about anything related to the new Xbox Live integration.

Now why would Microsoft integrate Xbox Live for PC if their intention is to not let PC gamers play Xbox games:?

They could be doing it to rehall Games for Windows Live, or to make some functions of the Xbox 360 like the Arcade playable on the computer too. I see many flaws in Windows 8 emulating Xbox 360 games though, as games on the Xbox 360 exploit very specific hardware, and in order to emulate that properly one would need a very powerful computer, and even then in may not work right.
