Xbox Live SMS text alerts - Yawn
December 19th, 2005 | by amarfresh |XBOX 360 is set to add SMS alerts to XBOX Live!. FYI, the XBOX Live! messaging feature is pretty much MSN Messenger in disguise. So, in essence, MSN Messenger, not XBOX, will allow you to send text messages to cell phones from the console. Something AOL has had for many moons.
“It just pops up saying ‘Dinky Dave wants to play Project Gotham Racing’ with you,” said Mr Langridge.
Yawn. This is obviously just marketing wrapper; an effort to keep the 360 buzz going; this time, riding on the mobile industry’s coattails.
