British Broadcaster Sky have confirmed this morning, that they have struck a deal with Microsoft to bring TV and film content as well as live sport events to the Xbox 360 console.

As this BBC article reports, the deal will see the Xbox 360 delivering live TV broadcasts for the very first time. Xbox 360 owners with an Xbox Live subscription will be able to access Sky content without the need for an existing Sky subscription and Satellite dish.

    M$ want to sort out the 360′s build quality and fan noise if they serious expect people to use it as a fully blown media hub.
