Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft launches YouTube, TMZ, FiOS TV apps and many more on the Xbox 360 today

Joystiq

For those of you in the Xbox 360 Dashboard preview program, some of this stuff is old hat, but for the rest of us today's launch of a dozen new applications on the Dashboard is allbrand new. Beyond the addition of YouTube, FiOS TV, and TMZ (can we give that one back?), Xbox 360 users get access to MSNBC content, iHeartRadio (actual radio!), and a handful of other services starting today.

Though we expected as much, certain services are region-specific and will only be available to certain audiences (Rogers On Demand only exists in Canada, for instance, as it's a Canadian cable provider). Head past the break for the official list, regions and all.

Is the BBC app going to come to the US?

 

Also I didn't even see some of the apps like HBO go for download.

And I can't download any of the new apps for some reason >_> Edit: Nevermind I guess they automatically go into pending downloads and download when they can, must be a lot of people trying to get those apps right now.

 

I do have one question about the Verizon Fios app though. Do I have to pay for it with monthy charges like Netflix or is it free for Gold members?

Is it going to be the iPlayer or not. Still not sure about it. BBC News website said it is, but they be misinformed as other places said it will be BBC programming and MS themselves not stating the iPlayer.

 

I'm looking forward to VEVO myself!



holy hell!! the 360 is becoming the entertainment machine!!!
