Hello,

I don't own a XBox 360 and as you certainly are aware of, Ubisoft announced this week a remake of Prince of Persia on XBox360 Live Arcade. I was wondering if the folks not owning a XBox360 and using Games for Windows LIVE will be able to buy games in the "Live Arade" marketplace? That would be awesome! As a matter of fact, there's a lot of interesting remakes, it seems, in the Live Arcade.

Thanks

I do not believe that the games on Xbox360 Live Arcade are available for Windows Live yet. I think it is something they are working towards in the future...but not available now.

And yes, the Prince of Persia remake looks gorgeous.

Windows Live might let you buy content, but it won't let you run the xbox 360 versions of games. Game developers will still need to create PC versions before you can buy them.

Microsoft is working on cross-platform development tools (XNA) but games need to use them and still build and test separately for each platform.
