i say wait paciently, i just now bought gears of war and just now started gaming with newer games. ive been chained down with blizzard games for 4 years and i finally want to play cross format with my buddies who always play xbox.

i agree with other who want a messager on the client

also the drop down dashboard would be nice also

if everthing was 1 program or seemed to look as if it were 1 program with plugins i think it would be terrific :D

Be the first to download the Games for Windows – LIVE Marketplace client!

That is the first line on that page. We all want those features. They will be coming, or could be in the works right now. Whether or not you think it is easy, they have alot of thier plate right now. GFW does not have the budget of xbox division.

The marketplace on xbox.com has gotten alot of users in trouble lately. Users have been buying DLC through xbox.com & it puts it in your 360 download ques. So you are outta luck if you make this mistake. GFWL will be seperating the marriage between the two sites because of confusion it is causing. That will take a huge amout of time to accomplish. Xbox.com has been a long MS prodject & is evolving all the time.

I didn't state anywhere in my previous post that M$ promised the base features.. It's just kind of a given. Why bother releasing a standalone GFW client if it's just a marketplace browser? That's what xbox.com is for.

And as simple as the client is, that's not millions of lines of complex code.. That's 2,000 lines of GUI objects and GDI calls. (And that's being generous)

I could replicate the thing in two days, easily. Yet a team of developers are being given months.
(As far as the HDMI issues, that's just laziness on their part.)

Lastly, you called it the "Marketplace Client".. Last I remember reading on the download page, it was "Games for Windows - LIVE". That sort of makes me think it's more than a "Marketplace Client".

You are definetly misinformed. Not once did the LIVE team say that the Marketplace client was going to have these things. We all asummed that they were working on a standalone client with everything xbox has. But it seems that they wanted to put the foundation for releasing DLC packs over GFWL. These features may not ever come, it is most likely the LIVE team wants to do this. Who knows maybe there is a alpha build of marketplace client that has these features. We will never know until it goes live.

So you wish you could fire someone for a free service. Get real, even with the millions of dollars MS is making through XBL it still takes them 3 months to fix HDMI issues that arrived from NXE. Everyone touts that consoles are easier to code for because of the architecture is the same. The bottom line is things take time to build, test, & certify.

So.. We did get the shaft on the whole friends list thing with the new client then? I just read this whole thread to pretty much be told "Hey, wasted 30mbs of bandwidth on a sh**ty VB.NET browser".

I only downloaded the stupid thing so I could actually chat with my 360-friends while playing games that belong on PC. (Any FPS, for example. Mouse > Joystick.. imo.)

Saying that Roma wasn't built in a day is actually kind of ignorant. M$ spent years perfecting XBL.. May I remind you that both the Xbox and 360 are based on only slightly modified x86 hardware? (Homebrew apps within months of its release, Linux not too long after, et cetra) Porting something as simple as the dashboard to PC was done a long time ago, and for the most part--perfected with GoW. It seems they simply 'forgot' to add what they'd already written to what they just released.

Wish I could fire someone down there.
Either way, back to the drawing board for you guys. Give us the whole thing or nothing.

And for the love of God, label your Beta's as a Beta or Test Release. -.-

The "Start Conversion" only appers if the person is online even if the person is online i do not see the "Start Conversion".

It should show up any time, can you take a screen shot of it not being there for me? :)

It is there :). The strange thing is that when the person is online the "Start Conversion" does not appear.

Btw is it possible for me to contact you through email?.

Initiating a conversation through the forums is probably your best bet, although as busy as I am I don't always get to those immediately.

I see. Btw how to start a Private Message?. I do not see that system in this forum. It would be great if it is enabled.

Click on the users name to see their profile, under their name you'll have the option to "Start a conversation" and even email them.
