Microsoft's "Live Anywhere" concept, whereby Xbox Live can be shared across multiple platforms, isn't quite yet with us (http://kotaku.com/5472043/how-xbox-live-works-on-windows-phones-7-series). But when it is, it may look something like this.
Speaking at TechEd Middle East, Microsoft's Eric Rudder has shown off this demo of a platformer than is able to be played across a mobile phone, Xbox 360 and PC. Not only is the game mostly comprised of the same code (only around 10% has to be specifically reserved for multiplatform stuff), but as Rudder shows, you can play on your phone, pause, then resume playing on a 360 at the exact point you stopped on the phone.
Pretty great.
