I know - I was being sarcastic.

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.

BREAKING BAD, FROM THE GENIUSES WHO BROUGHT YOU, THE TESTER.
You blew it, OP
The title should have been: "Xbox Originals coming to Xbox 360, Xbox One and other Microsoft devices".

hmmm. maybe people wants value for the money they use on a GAMING system..?
Actually, they will be alienating a wider audience who would rather watch programs on their tablets, etc. This crowd is not going to go buy a $500 box just so they can watch Xbox TV.
LOL, one of the best shows ever versus xbox tv. Sony is also coming out with some tv stuff, didn;t they mention a cable service as well?

Amazon, Neflix, Hulu, etc. You really think Xbox TV will compete or gain any relevance with the likes of these being available? People already have access to these other services on devices they already own and the Xbox brand is associated with gaming first and foremost. The casual market is not going to give two shits about Xbox TV and you can bank on it.
Honestly think this is a waste of resources since I have a hard time believing MS will commit to this venture as fully as they'd need to in order to make it a success.

I want any kind of value. And if people are still calling the consoles gaming systems have lost touch of reality. They are media boxes. The PS3 is the most used Netflix device in the world, and these machines have a central position in homes so of course they should provide more then just games.
I'm super excited to see these things become reality. Hopefully one of them will be great.
This is not the right way to go about establishing yourself in the TV show space.Available only on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and other Microsoft devices
In the very same way that the videogame industry was dominated by Nintendo, Sony and Sega, right?

You don't have to shit on everything Xbox related. Stop.
Sony: 'We made Breaking Bad.'
but you are in Denmark..? just like me (sort of).. and none of this (97½% change of it not coming) will ever come to Denmark. just like it was on X360.
In Europe (most of it anyway) live has nothing besides online gaming..

Oh wait, they're going to start that soon in the next upcoming months.
What else separates PSN and Xbox Live Gold, at least in terms of the Xbox One and PS4? They have the exact same features at this point but the free small little games each month.
That's really not for this thread.
Just stop trolling every thread related to MS. It's very obvious, you are not fooling anyone.I am not shitting on it at all, it's fact. I'd say the same thing if Sony were to do something they simply are not well equipped to do.
A few interesting ones there that I'll check out.
So, how does this work, free to Gold subscribers, Netflix like Xbox Video pass ?
And when Hulu debuted people said it wouldn't be able to compete with Netflix. Come on, it's like you already are writing their efforts off when they literally haven't even aired anything yet. Also, don't pretend that Amazon has any huge original programming shows right now. Netflix has a bunch and Hulu is starting to get betetr in this regards, but to say there is NO CHANCE that MS can compete in original programming, especially after seeing this diverse lineup is just silly.
Of course there will be *little* people who buy the console for stricly this, but there are people who will look at it as part of the bigger picture of something else the console brings.
MS is simply not big enough with regards to competing with the big players in the TV realm, this won;t do anything for xbox.
I am not shitting on it at all, it's fact. I'd say the same thing if Sony were to do something they simply are not well equipped to do.
I would be genuinely surprised if the original programming was not world wide.
But it doesn't change the fact that these boxes are used for far more things then games, and that's a good thing.
Will they make it available "for free" to gold members? That would be a step in the right direction.
Sounds like it based on what I read in an Ars article about this.

Had to bring up Sony in a Xbox thread, didn't you.
Anyways, I'll watch the Halo stuff & Deadlands for sure!

they better..
Can't see such a great effort to be provided under a 5 USD subscription per month.
More probably they'll provide them at a discounted price for Gold Users.
Two subscriptions. Sounds amazing.
It's one more selling-point for MS devices and service, though.

Xbox TV won't just be competing with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, but also (and perhaps more directly) with Sony's plans for original TV, 'gamer focused' tv content for PSN. It's totally relevant.
Honestly think this is a waste of resources since I have a hard time believing MS will commit to this venture as fully as they'd need to in order to make it a success.
Pay-per-view if you are not a gold user.
Discounted pay-per-view if you are.
That's my hypothesis.
