Yes but third paragraph in the article states they would become a minority investor in "Dreamworks"

Damn you Microsoft for trying to provide original programming that ads value to the subscription service everyone pays for!
I mean, seriously, one of the biggest complaints about Xbox Live is that it doesn't offer much value, and now some of you guys are mad because they're trying to offer it. It boggles my mind.
So....
I'd totally watch a SoD, Gears or Fable show.
Oh, and "Gun Machine" is a stupid name by the way. Sounds completely ridiculous, but the premise sounds really interesting.
Woah, what are you talking about? I don't see anything in that article that implies this will be included with Gold.
This has actually been asked already in this thread.Woah, what are you talking about? I don't see anything in that article that implies this will be included with Gold.
He didn't say it was Microsoft's fault?It's not Microsoft's fault it sounds stupid to you. They didn't even make it up. The guy who wrote the novel did.

DEADLANDS. HOLY SHIT DEADLANDS. I'll buy all my mutiplats for Xbox One if this happens... and it doesn't suck.
As much as I like deadlands I'm not buying special hardware for a TV show. I'm going to admit, this and Sony getting into the exclusive TV content game really rubs me the wrong way. I hate having the whole console exclusives with games and much prefer the common platform approach of tv and film (either through a common format like DVD or hardware agnostic services like Netflix). A future where I have to own a army of boxes just to get TV because they are all in their own little exclusive siloes really annoys.
I guess Apple will get into this game too soon. They certainly have enough money and friends in Hollywood to get their own exclusive programming.

Xbox Video is accessible as a web player, I think. So long as you have XBL you should be able to access it.
Nobody is buying an XB1 solely for its original programming. This, I believe, is simply MS attempting to make their platform more desirable. It's a bonus on top of the exclusives and GWG program. On top of that, if you're watching Netflix or Hulu or any streaming service really on your XB1 then I think the Polygon article is on the money and as far as Microsoft is concerned they've already won as your time is being spent on their platform.
I just want these shows to be good because more content is a good thing, especially if it's at no additional cost to my XBL subscription.
I doubt Apple would tie any shows it makes to their hardware. They'd just demand you purchase it from their store.

Microsoft isn't going to lock it to xbox devices. They're just smart to advertise that this stuff is coming to 360 and xbox one. I'm sure people with surface tablets, windows 8.1 tablets, windows pcs, and more than likely even those with windows phones, will be able to enjoy this content also in due time.
Well thats not much different. Its either Apple hardware or a PC running iTunes.
Yeah, it was surprisingly well done. I just wish it had actually connected with Halo 4.After the high quality of Forward Until Dawn, I have high hopes for the Halo shows.
I wouldn't be all that surprised to see the Xbox Video app go to Android/IOS devices too.

Oh! It's finally coming! The thing we all wanted from our gaming consoles: TV!!!
But then when the Chief and Lasky talk at the end of Halo 4 its like they're never met.It did. It gave you the background on Thomas Laskey, who would eventually go on to be one of the Master Chief's most important and crucial allies in Halo 4. If the Chief doesn't end up saving his life back then, when the Covenant attacks that academy, he isn't alive later on Infinity to serve that incredibly vital role that he did.
What's wrong adding value to a product, especially if it isn't coming at the cost of the main event, which is games?
Oh, it's definitely coming at the cost of the main event. I don't buy anything MS says in regards to that at all. Do you see much of a core gaming push from them since, hell, Kinect 1.0? Every dollar that doesn't go toward new games or toward attracting other party's games is a dollar wasted down some ludicrous path that would have maybe made sense 5 or so years ago.
As always MS smells the money elsewhere and hops on way too late to make a stake. See the Zune. See the Kin. See the Tablet PC. See Surface. See Windows ME, Windows CE, Windows Vista, Windows 8. The list can go on. So yeah, I'm skeptical that they can take a marketplace that survives on the lifeblood of hard core gamers and somehow convince them that TV programs within an extremely closed off environment will somehow be worthwhile.

Yeah, that.
