News Microsoft launches Xbox 360 Sky Player

In fairness all the problems with this launch sit firmly at the doors of Sky and not MS as it was their servers crumbling that caused all the issues.

And yes I agree it does seem a silly way of doing it, I won't be subscribing because there just isn't enough there to warrant that much money. When it finally lets me add on-line payment options I will so that I can get PAYG docus if I feel like it. Would've liked more PAYG content tbh.

 

It is so cloudy in England that you have to pay to see video of the Sky?!?!

 

Do you think we will need to pay TV licence? As it's a live stream really? I'm sure the TV licencing people would argue that yes, you do:

You'd need a TV licence for the TV that you plug your Xbox into!

 

Not always - I've got a 32" HDTV as a monitor (1080p games is pretty awesome!) and as I don't receive any TV signals I don't need a TV licence. Though technically if I watch BBC iplayer live, i do. Silly rules really.
