After Microsoft’s Skype acquisition (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13343600) 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 (https://careers.microsoft.com/jobdetails.aspx?ss=&pg=2&so=&rw=36&jid=76419&jlang=EN) 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.

I hope they utilise Skype to replace the current voice chat options on Xbox, it's 2012, I think crystal clear quality should be a requirement for online gaming. Also, doesn't PS3 have Skype? Could be cool if you could cross-platform chat

[David]

I doubt sony and microsoft would do that ^
