A number of readers have forwarded us emails from Microsoft showing that the Games for Windows team is prepping to test Games for Windows Live.
Unfortunately, the Games for Windows Live Beta announcement is rather sparse on details:
Are you interested in being part of a select group that is invited to help beta test a new service that lets Windows gamers connect with their friends on the Xbox through the LIVE gaming network? If you are, please read on.The registration period for this upcoming beta testing opportunity will only be available for a limited time. To be considered you will need to complete the Games for Windows - LIVE Beta application survey.
The email goes on to say that the beta testers will be contacted in the "coming weeks" with more details. Also if you get in you have a chance at winning some spiffy prizes.
While not a killer app, I am very excited about the potential. I'm sure it will start with games like Texas Hold 'Em and Uno, but you know full-scale games are going to be hitting the system later this year.
