Xbox Partners with Time Warner Cable- ESPN Fans Benefit

By partnering up with Time Warner Cable, Xbox Gold members will have the opportunity to watch live sporting events and “replays of anything ESPN has the rights to stream.” As an Xbox owner, I will be taking advantage of this feature. All videos “stream on HD,” which makes the experience more enjoyable given the right kind of internet connection. To add to the list of features, a mere press of a button will prove enough to bring up a screen of all the scores for “current, recent, and upcoming games, sortable by sport, and if [the event is] on at the moment, you can quickly jump to the game with a press of [another] button.” I feel that this feature will be enough to bring a whole new audience into the Xbox Gold membership ranks, as $50 per year is hardly a high price to pay for a seemingly-unlimited amount of footage.
