Xbox 360 to Transform TV

By Amaya, Posted 29 Oct 2011

Xbox 360 Teams Up With Entertainment Leaders to Transform TV.

 

Xbox 360 brings all your entertainment, friends and family together in one place. Now, easily switch from playing your favorite game with a friend out of state or even across the world to watching your favorite TV show with your family members on the same couch, all through Xbox LIVE. Ready to mix things up? Effortlessly switch from games to music to live TV and more, simply by telling your Xbox what you want to experience.

 

With Kinect for Xbox 360, there are no remotes, no buttons, things are easier than ever. Xbox 360 allows you to search easily and discover content across multiple entertainment providers within Xbox LIVE and interact in extraordinary new ways. Xbox 360 is now more social and personal too. Everything in Xbox has been designed to share with friends. Share recommendations, and show the Xbox LIVE community what games you're playing, movies you're watching and music you're listening to, as well as invite them to join in. Even post your game achievements and info about your favorite movies directly to your Facebook wall from Xbox LIVE.
 


 

Last week, Microsoft has announced its plans to roll out the next generation of TV entertainment on Xbox LIVE. Nearly 40 world-leading TV and entertainment providers, including Bravo, Comcast, HBO GO, Verizon FiOS and Syfy in the U.S.; BBC in the U.K., Telefónica in Spain; Rogers On Demand in Canada; Televisa in Mexico; ZDF in Germany; and MediaSet in Italy will begin rolling out entertainment services to the console this holiday, in more than 20 countries.
