Microsoft to stream ESPN360 via XBox 360?
 

Very Very interesting. I'd subscribe to this, ESPN360 is good, but if I can get it via the Xbox on the big tv, with the soccer and other things that ESPN shows..

For Microsoft and Xbox, Focus Shifts From Game to Video - NYTimes.com

Microsoft has held in-depth talks with the Walt Disney Company about a programming deal with ESPN, according to people close to the talks, who requested anonymity because the talks were intended to be private.

For a per-subscriber fee, ESPN could provide live streams of sporting events, similar to the ones available through ESPN 360, a service that is available from some high-speed Internet providers. Microsoft could also create some interactive games in association with ESPN, the people said. One of the people said the deal was not imminent. The companies declined to comment.

I would also pay for this if it wasn't too expensive. I'd love to watch the USC games on the big screen instead of the computer.

I'm holding out hope that its free to xbox gold subscribers.

I wonder how much I pay for technology on a per month basis...

Good luck with that. You'll be holding out for some time to come.

I'd pay for this at the right price.

A lot of it depends on if they can work out the ESPN360 blackout issues. For example, I'm a Time Warner user. ESPN360 is blacked out on Time Warner (and other providers). Will they lift that blackout if you connect on a X360 console through Time Warner while still blacking out PC feeds? They'll have to sort that out first.

"similar to the ones"... that says to me there's probably a different application and possibly more limited events.

Pass. My ridiculously-oversized monitor is already good enough for me :) Now, if they'd actually stream it in HD, instead of the crap resolution you get with ESPN360, I'd be interested.
