Fox joining Xbox family
Posted by XanTium | August 30 11:07 EST | News Category: Xbox360
From variety.com: [QUOTE] Microsoft has signed up Fox as the newest partner for its Xbox Live Video Marketplace, and the two are launching with "Family Guy," a show aimed squarely at the service's young male gamer demo.
Video Marketplace, which allows Xbox 360 owners to download movies and TV shows via the vidgame console's Internet connection, already has films from Warner Bros., Paramount, Lionsgate and New Line and TV shows from CBS, NBC Universal and MTV Networks. Some content is available in high-def, making it the only Internet videostore offering HD downloads.
Deal likely marks the first step in a broader relationship between Fox and Microsoft to distribute TV shows and films. [/QUOTE]

MS is building quite the library, it can't come to Canada soon enough!
I wonder if this has any implications for Fox releasing movies on HD DVD.
i would bet no, there probably only doing this because they arnt supporting hddvd, so they figure they do this, and they sorta reach the hddvd market without actually doing anything with hddvd.
