The box art for Batman: Arkham City seems to indicate the game will use Games for Windows LIVE, like its predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum. The image of the box has the GFWL plastered right across the top. Thanks Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

I'm also considering getting a Harmony? Which model do you have? It sounds like the One is still arguably the best model. One thing I'd like to be able to do is power on my HTPC with it... is that consistently feasible?
I've used both the 700 and the One, its hard to say which is better. The One is pretty damned expensive unless you get it on sale and the only real benefit is the cradle. The touchscreen actually sucks imho, physical buttons for activities work way better in practice. The 700 needs a charging cable nearby your setup and I generally charge it once every few weeks. I think the One can control up to 6 devices too whereas the 700 controls 5 IIRC.
In terms of scripting things with the HTPC like powering on, thats all easy. Get a little $5 MCE USB receiver and you can send MCE keyboard/mouse functions straight to the Harmony. Download a copy of EventGhost and you can tweak to your hearts content. I setup an activity on the remote for my girlfriend that does the following - wakes up my file server, turns on the receiver, TV, HTPC and starts playing her workout video in fullscreen. I already have the MCE USB receiver and MCE remote, but I'd like to just have one for everything. I haven't tinkered with turning the computer on or waking it. I have noticed something strange that may be a BIOS issue. If I don't turn my TV and sound system on first (HTPC is connected to the sound system via HDMI, and the sound system pass the video signal through to the TV via HDMI), the PC turns on and the fans spin up and everything, but the display never turns on. I have to press the power button again, twice (to turn it "off" and back on again) for the display to come up. I don't have this issue if I turn the TV and sound system on first.
My Blu-ray player, on the other hand, triggers the sound system and TV to power on whenever I turn it on. It even switches the sound system input to the Blu-ray player automatically, without me setting any of that up. The TV input never changes - the sound system handle that.
I never noticed this kind of behavior before upgrading to HDMI. Weird. |
