It would set you back £40-£50 per month. Overall, I just don't see it working for Microsoft. I'm surprised that they didn't invest in their own broadcasting online service like Netflix, Lovefilm, HBOGo & BBC iPlayer all rolled into one package. That's what I though Sony would do, but it's not going to happen is it. |
if your already required to have set top box, and the xbox one can replace it it comes down more to the cost difference between a set top box and the xbox one. Also if they can do it with Sky, they can make deals with others too.
