Round Nr. 2 in the battle for the Multimedia Home Center Entertainment Market. That’s not a surprise that Microsoft starts to offer Video on Demand content. The Xbox360 is more than a simple Video Gamng System.
Microsoft Corp. has teamed up with a handful of Hollywood studios to sell TV shows and movies that can be downloaded through the software maker’s Xbox Live online video-game service and beamed straight onto television sets
The programming — most of it in standard-definition format and some in high-definition — will be available through the Xbox 360 console to any user of Xbox Live’s free or paid online service, which allows gamers with broadband connections to send text or voice messages to each other, and watch movie trailers and other product demonstrations.
