    “As expected”?

    It’s a day late, that’s the opposite of as expected….

      Unexpected means something that you didn’t think would happen at all, so both you and Pradeep are wrong.  ;)

      “A day later than expected…” would be more appropriate.

    Why are these new apps impossible to find directly from your phone in the marketplace?

      Exactly what I came here to post.  I think its because the market place caches results or something.  Is there a way to force this?

      • rsgx

        Not sure, but I just found that I can install the app direct to my phone from the marketplace on my PC.

        Pretty cool, actually.

          How do you do that?  You mean if you cable your phone?  Or wirelessly?

            You can do the install directly through the web marketplace on your PC.  It will then give you a couple options of how you would like to have the app install on your phone – either through a text message, or email instructions.  If you select text message, it will send the app directly to your phone and will install directly to the Xbox hub in a couple minutes (depending on network conditions and the speed of your phone’s connection to the internet).

            When they launched the web install feature, the text message option was there but not anymore, at least for me. It just pushes it over the Internet without any txt msg. Actually that’s better because not everyone has a txt plan.

    When I go to the web link, it’s asking me to edit or create Zune account. WTH? I already have one and never had this problem before.It looks like their xbox/zune/live servers are screwy since last night.  Anyone else having this problem?

      You have to update the terms of service first.

        I did on my Zune client. The web interface doesn’t say anything about the TOS though.

    • rsgx

      I think you should be able to skip that prompt, I had something similar. Otherwise, install the app direct from your PC browser.

        I AM on my IE9. The link above takes me to the web install page but doesn’t give me the option to install. It just says I need to creat a Zune account. I’ve done this many times in the past without this problem.

    Im getting a error code everytime I try to download.

    • rsgx

      Reboot?

  • Anonymous

    Those who are getting error, please try after sometime. It may be due to marketplace being updated around the world.

    EPIC only thing I could ask for is voice control, and the ability to turn the Xbox on

    I’m not finding this at all in Marketplace. I tried searching via the phone, connecting the phone through PC and Zune, and this app is not showing up at all. Verizon Trophy WP7.5 12/07/11 11:20am PST

      Use the link at the bottom of the article.

        Thanks, flew right by that “tiny little” download app from here… link. I finally did find it elsewhere. But this has to be the least intuitive method for getting an app I’ve ever witnessed. It’s almost as though MS doesn’t want anyone to know about it.

    Works well for me. Would be nice if you could browse the Games Marketplace easily rather than just having the Zune one on the home page ~

    I am really looking forward to the Youtube app on my Xbox360, i just hope it will be possible to search youtube through WP7 and using the keyboard to type instead of using the xbox360 controller to type on IT TAKES FOREVER… with the wp7 it would be sooo easy to navigate the youtube app :)

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A MUST MS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    not available in hong kong? wtf? STOP BEING SO US-centric (n maybe some european countries)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    release this awesome app in all marketplaces with xbox live RIGHT NOW i want this with my xbox.

    • Anonymous

      Releasing anything worldwide implicates separate deployment, legal, etc. issues. Microsoft is a US-based company, so why wouldn’t it release in the US first? Plus, it isn’t as this app has been US-available for six months; it came out this morning. If it helps, think of us as the 1.0 testers so that you have the benefit of a bug-free and feature-rich 1.1.
