TVGames by Joey Paur

Wow! Microsoft has released  it's long impressive list of TV and cable networks that will be available on Xbox360, and it looks like I'll be able to cancel my cable. Some of the networks include HBO, Bravo, Crackle, Epix,SyfyVevoUFC and more. VerizonComcast and AT&T will also bring live TV to Xbox 360. At&T's Uverseservice is already being featured on the console.  

There's no information on how this content will be accessed yet, but I imagine you will need an existing subscription to premium channels like HBO, who previously announced they want to bring their HBO GO on-demand service to game consoles. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all works out, but it could definitely change they way we watch TV.
