XBOX Live Marketplace Launches in Canada and Part of Europe
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 |
It turns out gaming consoles like the XBOX360 and the PS3 are excellent tools to bridge the gap between internet and TV through IPTV. And the manufacturers have clued into this reality. XBOX Live Marketplace launched in the US some time ago and the service has now been made available to Canadians as well as select European countries (France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom). The service offers up movies and episodic TV shows in Pay-Per-View format to be paid through Microsoft Live Points. The service is quite impressive and offers up some stiff competition to video rental services, both online, through mail and in store.
