Now how long untill it comes out? I saw it, and I signed up a few days ago, but I kinda want it now, and yet don't see much need for it since I already have steam which has a similar service, and is constantly updated in a controlled environment. This PlayXpert loses some of the control when the widgets are being built by an outside source that may or may not update it even on a regular basis. I will try it, but I don't think I will be depending on it any time soon.

I think the only way this will really take of is to merge with Xfire. Its a good idea but I don't think it will be as useful.

Ty xD

Been a fan of sg.com for a while, only just bothered with the forums.

I think PxP has a lot of issue that need to be sorted out before it's going to be worth using. It doesn't even have vista drivers yet.

My friend just had that issue. It's a problem with your video card, if it's the same thing as his. Just swap it (that'll suck if it's anything above $100) and you should be good to go.

I read about this site and tried to go there like two days ago, but it looked like the link was ooold and that the site didn't exist anymore. Guess not.

I had the exact same problem (this is the second time luckily on two different PCs), and all I needed to do was reinstall windows. There is a way you can do that without losing save games, and all your documents too, but you have to be careful when you reinstall.

Just in case anyone is still bothered by this. The Vista drivers are out on Monday (should be). I've used this a bit on Xp and I love it. It's definitely worth checking it out if your a PC Gamer.
