posted this in the other thread before i saw this one.

Looking good! I will be using this service as i have verizon. Looks like the could expand the international stuff quit a bit. I only really see the US and UK up there. It also looks like gold is not required for all of it which makes me wonder how it will be done. Seems like its been a good news week for ms and me. I am excited for things to come.



Still seeing next to none real tv channels available for where i live, so again failure on Microsofts part to really set the Xbox 360 apart in Europe, common support us more than this!



OMG so most of this is free for Gold members? 0_o
