Goodbye Sky, Hello 360-Vision?
January 8th, 2008 • Life, Technology, Video
Now this could be good news. I’m quietly resenting my growing monthly Sky bill, and have been chewing on alternatives. But given the fact that Virgin doesn’t rock my boat, alternatives seem thin on the ground.
Then, my XBox 360 became something else. Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it was partnering with BT (of all people) to turn every 360 into a full-on cable box. As one of my colleagues over at Stuff.tv explains:
The announcement means that BT Broadband customers can get on-demand TV programmes and movies streamed (for a fee) to their TV without the need for a set-top box. They can also watch any of BT’s 242 ‘near-live’ Premiership football matches using the Xbox 360.
This is seriously joyous. Call Of Duty 4 and West Ham all from one box… does life get any better?
