The Xbox 360 update that will bring a massive heap of television entertainment options to the system goes live tomorrow. Soon, on-demand TV programs, movies, videos, sports, newscasts and music will be available on your Xbox 360, and easily accessible via Kinect voice commands. Along with that comes all kinds of web video. With 57 million people already using Xbox 360 systems, I predict that this awesome update will cause American obesity to increase. Bring the fat, Microsoft!
I’m really excited about being able to watch TV and web content on my Xbox. Microsoft is coming out of the gate with a pretty strong initial offering, but they have plans to take it even farther. Below the jump you’ll find the huge list of content coming to Xbox 360 systems across the world in the next half year or so.
