Microsoft has signed up Fox as the newest partner for its Xbox Live Video Marketplace, and the two are launching with "Family Guy," a show aimed squarely at the service's young male gamer demo.

Video Marketplace, which allows Xbox 360 owners to download movies and TV shows via the vidgame console's Internet connection, already has films from Warner Bros., Paramount, Lionsgate and New Line and TV shows from CBS, NBC Universal and MTV Networks. Some content is available in high-def, making it the only Internet videostore offering HD downloads.

Deal likely marks the first step in a broader relationship between Fox and Microsoft to distribute TV shows and films.

MS is building quite the library, it can't come to Canada soon enough!

I wonder if this has any implications for Fox releasing movies on HD DVD.

Now if they put HD versions of any of the ALIEN movies (preferably ALIENS) on marketplace, then I'd be happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Yeah, I was thinking about that, when I read the article, who knows maybe this could be the push that HD-DVD needs to turn the tables.

Technically, XanTium was first. So you lose.

i would bet no, there probably only doing this because they arnt supporting hddvd, so they figure they do this, and they sorta reach the hddvd market without actually doing anything with hddvd.

Exciting.

I feel that Family Guy is the funniest animated comedy on television ever.

..And Lois (spelling?) is hot. lol
