"Removed" Xbox Live tile still accessible on Chinese Tango phones
Share:
Currently, on Chinese Tango devices, there is a Games tile that links to the games category in the Marketplace. All an owner needs to do is use a Windows Live ID from outside mainland China, and the Game tile will change to the Xbox Live tile. Windows Live IDs from Hong Kong will work as well.
This workaround does not restore any Facebook or Twitter functionality, but with WeiBo and RenRen being the preferred local alternatives, that is probably not an issue for most.

Asians don't really like the Xbox, they prefer the asian-made consoles like the PS3 or Wii. The Xbox has alot more games for Westerners. Microsoft tried to cater to them but they still didn't want to change. That being the case, I think it's better for them that MS removed the Live tile. Why force the Xbox on them when they clearly don't want it? So now WP appears more like a phone instead of an Xbox propaganda device. It's not the best thing for everywhere, just the asian markets. Good call MS.
