Microsoft
says that Xbox 360 will be the first gaming
console to bring standard and high-definition
TV shows and movies via digital distribution
over the Internet directly to the American
consumer. From 22 November 2006, which marks
its first anniversary, Xbox 360 will be
the first gaming console in history to provide
high-definition TV shows and movies directly
to gamers in their living rooms. Xbox 360
gamers will have access to the full-length
TV shows as downloads to own and movies
to rent via download from the Xbox Live®
network, the worldwide leader in online
distribution of high-definition gaming and
entertainment content. This announcement
also brings with it several additional 'firsts':
•
For the first time, consumers will get an
integrated gaming and entertainment experience
on a gaming console that includes downloadable
high-definition TV shows and movies. This
new full-length content adds to the ever-expanding
number of choices gamers have on their Xbox
360, whether they want to play games or
play a movie on a disc or as a download
in high definition or standard definition.
•
CBS will deliver high-definition download-to-own
TV shows including CSI, Jericho,
Numb3rs and remastered Star Trek
episodes. Gamers can buy them and watch
them repeatedly.
•
For the first time on any platform, Nascar.com
will deliver download-to-own condensed versions
of select Nascar Nextel Cup Series races
from Race Rewind.
•
The Ultimate Fighting Championship will
make 50 of its most intense fights available
for download as well as select episodes
from the original season of The Ultimate
Fighter reality series.
