Microsoft Brings Broad Range of TV Shows to Xbox

The programs will require subscriptions or payment to other TV services. Technically speaking, the Xbox should make it easier for users to access HBO shows. But, they will also need a subscription to the Xbox Live Gold online service -- $60 a year.

The holidays will bring the owners of the Xbox 360 a broad range of TV shows and other entertainment content through their gaming consoles. Microsoft announced that the company is partnering with Comcast, HBO, Bravo, Verizon’s FiOS service and others with the intent to bring on-demand and live television content to the Xbox. The partnership is exciting but there is a catch – there always is a catch in these deals — most of the content is not free.
