ESPN May Be Coming To Your Xbox 360
According to a New York Times article, Microsoft may be looking to expand on the “Home entertainment console” idea by bringing live sports and related games to your living room.
“Microsoft has held in-depth talks with the Walt Disney Company about a programming deal with ESPN, according to people close to the talks, who requested anonymity because the talks were intended to be private.
For a per-subscriber fee, ESPN could provide live streams of sporting events, similar to the ones available through ESPN 360, a service that is available from some high-speed Internet providers. Microsoft could also create some interactive games in association with ESPN, the people said. One of the people said the deal was not imminent. The companies declined to comment.”
Not sure what “per-subscriber fee” means but I hope it means “Gold” members, and not “We are going to milk the suckers for more money”.
Time will tell…
