XFIRE: Shop & Music

[Gben 20]

Did you see the news in Jan 12th email from XFIRE:-

 

Xfire In-Game now supports iTunes and Windows Media Player. Although still in beta, we've recently added the ability to control your favorite playlists.

 

To use the feature:

1. Open iTunes or Windows Media Player- Have it running in the background.

2. Select Playlist to control in-game- Songs play in the order they're sorted on the playlist.

3. Press Scroll Lock + M to try it out

So get started on those gaming playlists!

 

For suggestions, tips, and troubleshooting, head to the Music Player Beta Forum.

^This seems like a GREAT idea.

 

The Xfire Game Store allows you find great deals on the latest and most popular PC games. Here are a few of our cataglog's hottest titles this New Year:

To download these and other titles, check out the Xfire Game Store and stay up to date on all the latest releases by joining the Official Xfire Game Store Community.

Samples:

• Red Alert 3 USD$29.95
• Command & Conquer : Red Alert 3 - Uprising USD$19.95

^This seems like a logical expansion of services, but can it ever seriously compete with the other established outlets. Or is it just building some passive income to support it's other strategies.

 

I like xfire, I bought buy something from them *if* it was competively priced, to support them.

The playlist function could be good.

 

I doubt I'd buy anything from them though, I don't like buying from international vendors.

I just played C&C3:TW while listening to Frank Klepacki.

Life is good!
