More movie and TV content coming soon to Xbox Live

Microsoft has announced some cool new stuff coming soon to Xbox Live. Thanks to some newly-forged deals with A&E Network, ADV Films, National Geographic and TotalVid.com, the more than 1,500 hours of downloadable entertainment content already available on Xbox Live in the U.S. will be seeing an increase. Examples of television shows and feature films that will be coming to Xbox Live include the following:

• A&E Network. “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” “King of Cars,” “Gene Simmons Family Jewels,” “Driving Force” and “Criss Angel Mindfreak”
• ADV Films. Top offerings from the No. 1 producer-distributor of Japanese animation (“anime”) outside Japan
• National Geographic. The television series “Is It Real?” and “Taboo” as well as programs such as “21 Days to Baghdad” and “Air Force One”
• TotalVid.com. A broad action-sports offering including extreme skiing and snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross, surfing and mountain biking

Also, for the first time ever, both Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will offer feature films for download via Xbox Live. Paramount titles that will be available include “Braveheart,” “Team America: World Police,” and “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.” Warner Bros., meanwhile, will be releasing its direct-to-video movies exclusively in high definition on Xbox Live simultaneous with their availability on DVD, starting with “Sublime” and later, “Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.”
