Yeah, this is genius, pure genius tbh,
If Microsoft gets the 360 partnered with BSkyB and BT then there will be no competition for the 360 in the UK as it will be at the top of entertainment in the UK, TV services, Phone services, Broadband Services, On demand services, movie services etc, it's everything they could want and more!
Sky has over 30 million subscribers in the UK for Sky TV, 4 million on it's broadband, 2 million on it's phone service, BT has 20 million subscribers in the UK for phone services, 6 million for broadband services and 3 million for TV Services, that is a LOT of potential customers!!!
Maybe Sky may start giving 360's with their TV Deals instead of the sky plus box? it would offer the same (on demand, record tv, rewind tv, pause tv) using 360's HDD plus sky customers would get a gaming console thrown in too!? imagine how many would be sold!
Or maybe Sky will offer a "netflix" type deal where 360 owners will be able to watch any tv programme or film on their 360 when they want, that also makes sense as UK owners have been missing a "netflix" type feature :)
