This is great news for MS and anyone working with their technology; not so good for Sony and their inadequate successor product. This shows just how much thought the guys at MS have put into this product experience. HDMI and integrated HD-DVD players in the 360 are just around the corner. My Zero Hour launch faceplate had better fit those new 360's!
Microsoft Links Xbox 360, IPTV

Starz, Microsoft to offer download service on TV
Computer users who run Microsoft's new Vista operating system or owners of Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game console will be able to watch movies downloaded from Starz's Vongo Internet movies subscription service, the company said.

As a life long fan of videogame consoles (and a guy who still plays Atari 2600 games from time to time), I can tell you that the current battle between the videogame giants is the most interesting I've ever seen. Never before have we seen consoles adapting and growing so quickly. When new consoles are released you always expect the games to get better over time, but I have never seen actual consoles change so rapidly. Don't like the options your Wii, 360 or PS3 have to offer? Wait a week or two; they're changing daily.
Anyone at CES? What are thoughts on the iPhone?
