Reuters: Microsoft's TV subscription plans 'on hold'
"They built Microsoft TV, they demoed it for us, they asked for rate cards but then said 'ooh ah, that's expensive,'" the piece quotes one "senior media executive" as saying with regards to the negotiations. That doesn't mean that the plans are a total wash, just that they're currently not progressing.
Still, some avenues for live television are currently available and coming soon to Microsoft's Xbox 360, including a limited selection from several cable providers, as well as the just announced partnership with Newscorp which will bring Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and more to the console.

TheHoneyBadgerANG3L_CHR1S Xbox Live should only be 20 bucks a year if you only plan to play online. I don't want all of this stupidity, my 360 is gaming and watching Netflix. And what I think is the stupidest is that you need Xbox Live to use Netflix! That's so STUPID! You have to pay for Netflix already, and then you still have to pay for XBL to USE it! The damn nerve that Microsoft has...Just move to ps3 then...
Oh, I do have a PS3. I play that quite a bit online too, and have no problems. But I play my 360 a lot too because my best friend has one and I gave him MW3.. so I have a good time on both.
