Forget Cable: Live ESPN Events May Stream to Your Xbox Console
As you probably know, nowadays you can stream movies or check up on your Facebook friends with your cherished video game console. Seeking to push the envelope yet further, The New York Times reports that Microsoft wants to bring live-streaming sporting events to its Xbox 360 console with the help of ESPN, the self-proclaimed worldwide leader in sports. An unnamed source told the Times that Microsoft and Walt Disney Company, which owns the network, recently held "in-depth talks" about a deal. The details mean users could pay a subscription fee that allows them to watch live games, some of which might only be broadcast through this service.
If this piques your interest, you should check out ESPN 360 first. It's a Web site that uses a similar model and has proven extremely popular with sports fans. With the success of video game sports franchises like 'Madden,' we're sure there are plenty of gamers who would pay for such a service on their consoles, too.
