Xbox 360 and deal with pay-TV group BSkyB

Microsoft seems to be giving its Xbox 360 users something new on a regular basis now; the software giant has now given its users the chance to watch live programs such as Premier League soccer and movies with pay-TV group BSkyB.

No pricing details have been given yet or what channels will be available to Xbox 360 users in Britain and Ireland. Users of the broadband enabled 360 should be able to watch at least 20 live channels; this will include movies, sports, news and entertainment.

Not only that, but Microsoft have managed to sort a deal out with BSkyB, where the Xbox 360 users can have access to on-demand library of thousands of programs. According to Reuters, a number of subscription packages will be available. The new service should begin in the autumn.
