Original Video Coming To Xbox

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, March 31, 2008 8:12 AM

There will soon be original video on your Xbox. Microsoft and Hollywood type Peter Safran have reached an agreement for Safran to provide original short content for distribution over the 360 console.

Safran said his first round of programs would be scripted and probably under 10 minutes each. He plans to focus on genres, like comedy and horror, that appeal to the Xbox 360 audience.

"We want to make sure that we have the right distribution channels in place," said Safran to the Hollywood Reporter. "We had a very specific idea that we knew worked for a core audience. Xbox clearly has this exact same demographic."

The first shows are expected out this summer.

Oh shiznit....

does this mean the 360 isn't only about the games.....?

Guess Safran didn't do his research very well.... 360 owners are only into the games not extras that have nothing to do with games.... I've read it on this site many of times 360 fans are only about the games... all that extra content the PS3 can do is crap....

I would like to see video footage in " HOME ". You know you go to your virtual home grab your virtual camera and record the out doors. Virtual kite flying and virtual bike riding, I think I hear another asian kid dying from sleep deprivation. Go out side losers.
