Microsoft is going to debut the testing phase of a new service via the LIVE gaming network. At this time, the details are scarce, but the Redmond Company did issue a Games for
Windows - Live beta announcement and invitation to testers. According to the sign-up page for the beta program, participants will be able to test a new service that will connect PCs with the Xbox platform.

"Are you interested in being part of a select group that is invited to help beta test a new service that lets PC game players connect with their friends on the Xbox through the LIVE gaming network? If you are, please read on," reads a fragment of the Games for Windows Live beta description.

The ideal candidate should own a Windows Vista retail version of Windows XP powered machine, or an Xbox console, an Xbox Live account and a broadband home connection, plus a microphone connected to the PC.
