From next-gen.biz:
Microsoft is set to distribute a number of original shows over Xbox Live Video Marketplace from Safran Digital Group, a company headed by Hollywood producer Peter Safran.
The shows will be around ten minutes long and focus on genres that appeal to the core male 14-34 year-old Xbox Live user base. Safran Digital Group intends to recruit established filmmakers for the productions but isn't planning on recruiting major movie stars.
The shows, some of which will be supported by advertising, will be available exclusively via the Xbox Live platform beginning this fall, although they may become available on other formats at a later date, reports The New York Times.

They've got some major competition these days. Comedy Central lets you watch every episode of South Park for free in a decent quality on their website, ad free. More and more networks are beginning to do this.
I hope they don't honestly expect us to pay for a show we've never seen before. I will only buy a TV show if it's one of my favorites, and I know I'll watch it time and time again.

I think "supported by advertisements" means free... QUOTE(elocin671 @ Mar 31 2008, 04:45 PM)

Yeah, like bittorrent the next day. If it's free I'll check it out, if not I'll probably what one day.

Hmm, well at least they know they are targeting the male demographic, because the only thing a 14 and a 34 year old have in common is the fact that they have a penis.
