I just thought of something: there's a WLM/Xfire plugin for Xfire that lets your MSN friends see what you are playing. Does this mean that people on the 360 can see what Xfire game you are playing via the WLM integration with the 360?

Chris--

You can already kind of see that from the Xbox tab on WLM. But you're right, I'm very interested to see how they integrate that. How will they determine whether to show your Gamertag or WLM Display Name? In any case, it'd be very nice to Xbox friends well-integrated into the main MSN buddy list.

As for the current game-- it could work kind of like "What I'm Listening To," but "What I'm Playing" instead. Maybe WLM should start supporting multiple statuses: your normal status, your music status, and your gaming status. Gaming status could also be compatible with Games for Windows Live and maybe even MSN Games. That'd be cool. Hmm.......

Actually, since all 360 games support custom soundtracks, it'd be *really* cool if WLM supported showing what you're listening to on the Xbox..........

Don't know if anybody noticed this, but the press release made no reference to this part of the video:

"Messenger contacts can see what game you're playing, and your gamertag"
