There are reports that Microsoft will be launching its new Xbox LIVE premium service at E3 on Monday. The plan will be named Xbox LIVE Diamond which will include other premium services from Xbox LIVE Gold along with IPTV services. The service was codenamed Project Orapa inside Microsoft. Orapa is the working name for a combination of Xbox Live and Microsoft’s Mediaroom IPTV according to Mary Jo Foley. So expect some exclusive TV channels on Xbox. The service is expected to launch by the end of this year with a target date of November 15th. Orapa is a diamond mine, one of the largest diamond mines in the world. That seems to be good code name ! ! !

I wonder if we will finally see it, it's been rumored for ages as far as I can remember...

Hope it works in Canada...

I have Charter TV already i won't be using this. 

the deal looks pretty bad... 80 bucks plus per month for

• Over 100 Channels
• 2 Premium Channels Included
• 8000 Shows On Demand

depending on how much the diamond pack is and how many channel you get combined with netflix and hulu you'd be saving money even if it doubles compare to gold... and have access to probably as much if not more.... I have cut off cable TV 2 years agao and never looked back..... I save hundreds of dollars a year and watch more stuff than before ( with way less commercial)
