ESPN on Xbox
June 16, 2010
ESPN made another move to bolster its broadband network, ESPN3.com, and has struck an exclusive deal with software giant Microsoft that will deliver over 3,500 live events from ESPN3.com, as well as on-demand clips from ESPN.com, to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 game console.
As in other ESPN3.com distribution deals, consumers will need to receive their Internet connection from an affiliated service provider; they also need to subscribe to the Xbox LIVE Gold service. The service will start in November.
