Xbox.mobi, Mobile Access to Xbox
Color me really surprised to have learned about this little gem. It has been available in the United States since late 2007 but because I haven’t really had a cell phone worth having internet access on, my mind was oblivious to the awesomeness that it is. If you’ve ever wanted a convenient look into your Gamercard and other Xbox 360 news while you travel with your cell phones or wireless devices, then Xbox.mobi is hereby crowned your saving grace.

It’s an extensive mobile Web site designed for Xbox fans internationally to access on their wireless phones or devices. Xbox.mobi offers fans exclusive videos, ringtones, a current games catalog, news updates and “My Gamer Card,” a personalized area for dedicated Xbox gamers where they can see their friends’ stats and challenge other gamers via their mobile phone to a game on their Xbox system.
RSS feeds also provide information on a range of subjects, including current HD movies and premium content for Xbox LIVE. I just bookmarked it on my G1 and checked a few things out like my Gamercard. It was super cool and perfect for my G1.
“Xbox.mobi provides us with unique possibilities for expanding the brand on the mobile channel and reaching our key target groups,” said Julie Lynn Southard, digital direct marketing manager for Microsoft. “The magic really happens when we connect what is happening in mobile across social networks and traditional media such as print, in-store and on-pack and give our gamers access to Xbox content, even on the go.”
Once only in the US, Xbox.mobi is now available in Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy and the UK. So all my international Xbox heads can now dig into some mobile Xbox glory. You can call me late to the US party but it’s better late than never right? And besides, it’s a first internationally.
What say you? Are you going to carry Xbox mobile now on your cell phones?
