In major news coming out of CES ‘08, Microsoft has announced a deal with BT Vision, an On-Demand HD British cable service, similar to TiVo.
The partnership will enable any BT Broadband customer to use an Xbox 360 console to access the BT Vision service and its extensive library of on-demand content, giving instant access to hundreds of movies and thousands of hours of sporting events, television programming, music videos and other digital content.
BT Vision customers with an Xbox 360 console will gain the option of accessing BT Vision from either the Xbox 360 console or a set-top-box.
The service will be available to existing and future Xbox 360 console owners.
Which would you prefer - downloading movies and shows from Xbox Live Marketplace, or running On-Demand content thru your Xbox 360?
