How Much Does XBox live mean?

[Chimera778]

I have seen a lot of talk in the past about Windows Phone being connected to your Xbox live account and I was wondering what exactly the integration was. I have no Xbox live account and I do not intend to ever buy an Xbox so what if any functionality am I losing by not doing so?

Thank you!

I don't have an XBox life account either. The application in the phone stores any games you DL and what not. If you indeed had an Xbox account you will receive messages and notifications that other players send you via xbox live.

Yeah theres no real gaming integration yet between the console and the phone but it is coming.

Just really adds any achievements and gamerscore you get on the phone at the moment to your xbox live account. And sending messages to your friends list.

You can also purchase avatar items on the phone and share between your account on the console.

I've replied to a few Live messages and a few game invites but nothing major.
