MS did an internal demo today of a future game streaming service that would allow a game to be streamed to at least any Windows NT 6.2 device (XB1, WP8, W8)

Update: support sent me a e-mail and their "solution" is that I need to buy Live Gold to be able to connect to Live services in W8/WP8. My solution was change the my PC to a local account and use another Live account [without Gold] to connect to the services
(which worked just fine). So, the support must not know what they're doing...

Just a quick update: the problem has just been solved out of nowhere, no further contacts where made. I can connect with my account now in W8 and WP8.

The gamertag you want on there, make its associated email (the one you use to log in) the primary Microsoft Account MSA) on the phone.

If you don't already have an MSA on there, it's an easy case of going to Settings/email+accounts and adding it.

If you do, you need to reset the device by going to Settings/About/Reset and hard-resetting the phone. Anything not backed up will be lost through this process. After that, just set up the phone again with the correct MSA as primary (the first MSA you enter).
