Microsoft to offer cable services through Xbox Live; HBO, SyFy, Bravo among two-dozen content providers in talks to appear on console “as soon as next week.”
The Xbox 360 already plays host to services like Netflix and Hulu, but Microsoft is reportedly looking to ramp up the content offerings on its Xbox Live service in a big way. Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft is in talks with nearly two media providers to stream their music, sports, TV programs, and movies on Xbox Live “as soon as next week.”
Two of the biggest names Microsoft has plans for are Comcast and Verizon, both of which will reportedly have their pay television services–Xfinity and Verizon FiOS, respectively–added to Xbox Live. However, users would need to be existing customers of the standard version of those services in order to add the Xbox 360 capability.
Bloomberg names a number of Microsoft’s potential partners, including HBO, Bravo, SyFy Channel, Sony Pictures’ Crackle streaming service, and Amazon’s Lovefilm UK. Representatives with the various companies did not provide comment to Bloomberg. A Microsoft representative told GameSpot the company does not comment on rumors or speculation.

Namco Bandai announces “true sequel” to SoulCalibur for 2012; game to launch on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Since the release of SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny in 2009, Namco Bandai has remained tight-lipped about the future of its weapon-based beat-’em-up. One of the reasons could be down to PSP game’s poor performance–it failed to make the publisher’s top 10 sales list for April-September, being beaten by the likes of Afro Samurai and We Ski & Snowboard.
SoulCalibur will be returning to home consoles next year though, as publisher Namco Bandai has announced the fifth game in the series will be coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. Project Soul team producer Hisaharu Tago took to the stage at the publisher’s annual Level Up showcase event to reveal a “true sequel” for the fighting game series, set 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur IV. SoulCalibur V is due for release sometime in 2012.
Namco Bandai revealed a host of new titles at the Dubai showcase event, including Ace Combat 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Impact for PSP, and an untitled Dragon Ball Z project for PS3 and Xbox 360. The publisher also announced that Ace Combat: Assault Horizon will be out on October 11 in the US and October 14 in Europe.
Tekken Project director Katsuhiro Harada also came on stage to announce Tekken Blood Vengeance, a CG-animated movie scripted by the writer of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The feature will come to cinemas in 3D this summer, said Harada.
