Xbox Offers a Forum to Reach Gamers Where They Live

New York Times


Interesting impact of gaming consoles on television viewing and cable. I don't have all my TVs hooked up to cable, as some are only for gaming.
Last year when Mr. Roberts moved with his wife from Los Angeles to Memphis, he didn't have cable for several months. So he began using his Xbox 360 for something more than his standard fare of games like Guitar Hero II and Madden NFL: he downloaded episodes of his beloved "South Park" as well as the occasional movie in high definition, for fees running from $2 to $6 through Xbox LIVE Marketplace, the emporium accessed through the console's interface.
"I'll sometimes also look and see what the top downloads are and check them out too," he said.
