Skype Heading to Xbox 360

4.5
After Microsoft’s Skype acquisition last May, many have been waiting to see what changes might be coming to the popular VOIP service. A job listing at Microsoft seems to have given it all away though, as they are currently looking to hire a ‘Software Development, Engineer, Xbox – Skype’
Read on for the listing and additional information!

Reading from the description -


This job listing is all there is to go off at the moment, but it certainly sounds like Skype is on the way to the Xbox platform. With E3 only a couple of months away, it would seem the perfect time for Microsoft to announce another wave of their Entertainment Apps which have become increasingly popular with services such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, and LoveFilm just to name a few.


There’s always the chance that it could tie directly into the Party Chat system already available on the platform, with the ability for users on other devices to join an Xbox Live Party Chat….but that’s just all speculation at the moment.


How do you think this app will affect the XBL experience?

Great so if I rage while in a party with friends they all get to see it...this has to be the stu...

Actually it's a brilliant idea it just means I'll have to make sure I'm always wearing my pants while playing Xbox.
