VisionaryMGMT I though Skype was supposed to come to 360 sometime? possibly soon?


I hope they do, that'd be pretty sick!
But if they do, they need to make it multi platform Skype :D


Skype is already multi-platform isn't it. You can get it on PC, iOS, Windows phone and I believe it's on the android app store.

According to Wikipedia, it should release in summer 2013.


I meant for the Xbox's Skype to be able to comunicate with say people on the PC and such. They already have that, but when they make it on the Xbox I hope they keept that feature.
