I lost my SSA starter set and currently have only Giants for XBOX (and another set for 3DS, but I don't think that the 3DS portal will work with the XBOX in any case, I might try it anyway for giggles).

My question is if you have two portals made for the XBOX and connect them both, can each person sit on opposite sides of the room and swap figures for co-op play?

Or will the game either not recognize one or both portals if you try.

Thanks.

I dont know... I have only 1 portal.

I can try it with my PS3 and two 3DS portals (Or a PS3 portal and a 3DS one) later. Probably only one will work at a time, though.

The 3ds is infared. So that will not work with PS3,360 or Wii as they are all USB.

i tried only one will work

Ah, that's a shame. Would have been nice not to have to share the portal when playing co-op.

Thanks for doing the legwork.

My guess it would have to be two of the same kind of portals as in... Two (either wired or wired) portals for Wii/PS3 those portals are interchangeable. Or two portals for the 360.

I just discovered that on my own a couple minutes ago... I booted up the game with my wireless PS3 portal, but the LC Prism Break that was on the 3DS portal (which was directly next to my PS3 portal) I hadn't connected yet lit up like lights on a Christmas tree. When I moved the 3DS portal away from my PS3 one, he got disconnected from the game and his lights dimmed.

Apparently additional Portals of Power can extend the range of the signal.

The 3DS portals have a USB port in the back that is meant for connecting to Spyro's Universe, but it makes it compatible with the PS3 and Wii versions. I'd know, I use the 3DS one all the time so I don't consume batteries from my wireless portal.

Okay, my mistake.... I was just told that the 3DS wouldn't work anywhere else.

Okay, so is anyone else perplexed by this technology? It's like it comes from aliens or something.

I remember an episode of the Munsters where Grandpa invented a machine that could send out electrical current to appliances without wires.

This reminds me of that. Hopefully the results won't be hairy bowling balls that look like ZZ Top.

I don't think it's technology, I always thought it was some kind of invisible magic.

Joking aside, if there is something in the portal's design that focuses the RFID reader's signals, it might also be caught by the second portal, which also focuses it, or something... I have no idea, I'm no engineer. That's just my best guess.

off topic, but if you link portals to two different consoles, you could do thing like
1. stack an unplugged one on a plugged portal to increase the first portal's "signal strength"
2. put 2 portals side-to-side, and put desired champon on portal that you arent using, the other portal will also recognize the figure.
*if a portal is plugged in, but the game isnt running, #2 will work. if both games are running on different consoles, both portals will try to recognize the skylander and neither game will work.
