Xbox Live, Away From The Place You Live!

The iPhone is a odd little device. Though many doubtlessly make a purchase based upon its sleek design, or the fact vain individuals can use its standby screen as a mirror, it quickly grows to become one of life’s staples. Like generic cover objects and the absence of health bars, it’s as swiftly part of the furniture as, well, part of your furniture.

With this always-on, highly connected environment in mind, one Juan Xavier Lerrea presents 360 Live, an iPhone app designed with the hardcore 360 gamer in mind. Priced at £1.19, it allows gamers to manage their account in the palm of their hands, sending messages, making and amending Friend Requests and checking out Achievements on-the-fly. Though we can think of no bar room argument such an App would have solved there is, in fact, a bigger issue at hand. According to the terms and conditions under which developers are allowed access to Xbox Live, no charge can be levied for such a program.

Our advice then, would be to save your money for the point at which 360 Live inevitably becomes free, or because it’ll soon be removed from the service. One or the other seems very likely to happen. Oh, and because you’ll want to be buying Robbie Williams Racing instead, obviously…
