Nakon nekoliko tjedana glasina, Microsoft je napokon i službeno potvrdio dolazak televizije na njihovu konzolu
Na ovogodišnjem E3-u prvi su puta počele spekulacije da bi Microsoft na svoju konzolu mogao integrirati i televizijsku uslugu. Nakon kratkog zatišja, Microsoft je iznenadno službenom potvrdom: televizija dolazi na Xbox 360.
Da stvar bude bolja, Microsoft već sada na listi ima čak 40-ak televizijskih programa, a do lansiranja projekta ih se očekuje još više.
