Push-Start

After Microsoft’s Skype acquisition last May, many have been waiting to see what changes might be coming to the popular VOIP service. A job listing at Microsoft seems to have given it all away though, as they are currently looking to hire a ‘Software Development, Engineer, Xbox – Skype’

Reading from the description -This job listing is all there is to go off at the moment, but it certainly sounds like Skype is on the way to the Xbox platform. With E3 only a couple of months away, it would seem the perfect time for Microsoft to announce another wave of their Entertainment Apps which have become increasingly popular with services such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, and LoveFilm just to name a few.

There’s always the chance that it could tie directly into the Party Chat system already available on the platform, with the ability for users on other devices to join an Xbox Live Party Chat….but that’s just all speculation at the moment.

That would be awesome.

I hope it doesn't require gold. My mother in law could wants Skype to be easier

Can't seem to edit on my phone. Ignore my bad wording

What apps don' require gold? 

Yeah, if Netflix and Hulu require Gold, why would Skype be any different? 

Totally stoked for this, though.  Skype has been on a long time coming on a home console.

Actually I was being serious, I don't know which apps don't require gold..are there any?

i soo didn't see this coming. :P

..and dirty is right, that last part would be pretty cool.

That last bit is serious.

I don't believe so.  Not since late 2009.  All Gold.
