Yeah, I'm happy with the UK offerings but would have liked to see some other U.S channels, still. I think just like Kinect, this is a beta esq phase for MS, and next gen they'll go full blown with both. Get all the teething issues out of the way this gen.

yeah, i do expect it to get better. wonder if nintendo/sony will jump on board with this as well. like netflix; it just seems like such a good idea i don't get why there isn't a bigger push for this kind of content push. anyway, syfy isn't exactly something super exciting to me but it is motivating enough to get me to put my xbox back under my TV and give it a go.

I hate that I have iO Cablevision now... can't get ESPN3.com, which renders ESPN on 360 useless, and I won't have access to all the channels and extras i would have with Comcast or Verizon.
