Just because the rumors indicated, Microsoft is bringing video from a variety of providers beyond those it initially announced to the Xbox 360 in its fall update, including big guns like Verizon and Comcast . While Verizon is promising live TV at the Xbox 360, Comcast is simply bringing its Xfinity TV video on-demand offerings for subscribers when it launches “inside the coming months”. Other notables at the list include Lovefilm and BBC TV streaming inside the UK, HBO Go, and Syfy. As promised during E3 , the services integrated with Xbox will offer support for search across whatever video is offered, despite where, in addition to support for Kinect voice and gesture controls. Check after the break for press releases from Microsoft, Comcast, and Verizon detailing what you can still access and where, in addition to a video introduction to the hot services.
