Xbox.ign.com have posted a Q&A to David Hufford who is the XBox Product Manager about XBox Live. Some details we already know:
- Match-making service to find other online players
- Instantly switching games in real time
- No keyboard and mouse whatsoever
- Applications for Xbox Live go beyond gaming
IGN: Are games going to be branded as Xbox Live titles?
DH: We'll have a logo so people will be able to identify Xbox Live games as such. But, the logo is not ready to roll yet.
IGN: Is voice going to be the main way to communicate on Xbox Live?
DH: We went out and talked to 2,000 gamers and they basically said we want to throw out the keyboard and mouse and slap on a headset and talk to my buddies. If I'm in San Francisco I want to talk to my buddy in New York whom I haven't seen in ages because I want to trash-talk and I want to have fun doing that. Of course games are at the heart of what they want. Over time we'll start announcing the games that are coming out for Xbox Live.
