In the last year or two, Microsoft has made it increasingly clear that they want the Xbox 360 to be a full multimedia machine, not just a game system. If new rumors are to be believed, the next step in this process could be offering a full television station as part of the Xbox Live package.

According to a report from Bloomberg (via Edge) Microsoft has received a pitch for an Xbox Live TV channel from ex-News Corp. president Peter Chernin. The channel would offer original programming as well as reruns of older shows.

This TV programming would only be available for Xbox Live subscribers, and Chernin suggested that Microsoft could raise the cost of Live subscription by $1 or $2 a month to help pay for the new service. Chernin is also supposedly the source of the earlier rumored proposal to get Conan O'Brien onto Xbox Live, though that is unlikely now given O'Brien's newly-announced show on TBS.

Microsoft reportedly has yet to respond to the proposal and denied Bloomberg's request for a comment. Would you be excited to see television programming on Xbox Live? How about if it meant that your subscription fee would go up?

I don't want to have to pay a few extra dollars for something I won't use, I have foxtel. I'd rather if you want the channel, you got to pay to use it like they do with the arcade room. Fuck you m$ if you go through with this.

I just don't want this, my console is for games, not for watching movies and tv shows that I can get for free.

You get your Foxtel for free? I knew you pirated a lot of stuff but i never imagined.

I pay apart of the foxtel bill a month, so no I don't get it for free :P

I just don't feel I should have to pay for something I wont use, regardless if it's $5 or $50.

Heh, you know me, I hardly watch the tv shows (or movies) I have now (dexter for example)... Sure I may have foxtel but I am not a big tv watcher. I have about three or five shows I watch every week, and I watch documentaries (reason I have foxtel) but that's about it. The family watch more foxtel than I do.

I don't have anything against paying for live itself when it has to do with gaming. Heck, I'll probably pay for a months psn subscription now and then if they have anything I want.

Its not like they're gonna just spring it outa nowhere and auto charge u extra dollars. You would still hav choice to have original gold.

Could also be the best thing evar if they got good shows
