According to a Reuters report, Microsoft is currently in talks to bring some kind of a television subscription service to the Xbox 360. A couple of years ago we may have deemed this impossible, but with things like the ESPN streaming service, such things are believable now.

The report claims that the Xbox Live provider is currently in talks with television networks, in an attempt to make the Xbox 360 a "virtual cable operator" for a monthly rate. The anonymous tipsters said that the service is also going to strive to allow watchers to watch their favorite shows with added interactivity of a sort. Additionally, Microsoft would like to have some standalone Xbox Live channels, similar to that aforementioned ESPN streaming service.

The giant of a corporation Microsoft refused to comment. The tipsters noted that such a service may take another year. If this is indeed a legitimate resource, it may or may not be revealed by Microsoft for some time.

Schaff's Stance - The console is becoming less and less of a console as time passes. Is that a bad thing? I'm not entirely decided. Hey, if they can make it work, I'm all for it. My worry is that they're going to turn consoles into universal media devices, and granted past experiences with consoles, will mean a lot more room for glitches and hacks to plague companies. Again, is that a bad thing?

Wow. That's embarrassing. Anyways I was saying if it can hardly run games how would you expect it to run television.

Gaming consoles = GAMING
Television = Watch television programs
CMON gaming consoles weren't made to watch Dora they were made to play video games!

everything but an internet browser /facepalm

Don't have an xbox but even if I did I wouldn't subscribe to this garbage! I'd rather keep the tv company I already have..guarantee you they're cheaper.

lol I still can't get over the fact that it doesn't have an internet browser! =D

and they say Sony copied M$, I'm no fanboy..

I don't mind them adding features as long as it will be optional.

If it ties in with the xbl gold subscribition then its good.

If its sepreate then no!

Well i got sky tv but my xbox wanted ****ing credit card info.
