Thanks to the launch of ESPN on Xbox LIVE on Nov. 1, Xbox LIVE users will be able to watch sports events and highlights from ESPN directly through their Xbox.
With this new development in technology, it is possible that more people will be able to access ESPN than before. Like college students who have an Xbox and access to the internet, but do not have cable or satellite in their dorm or apartment.
Although it sounds like a awesome deal for everyone with an Xbox 360 and and Xbox LIVE subscription, users will have to have a Gold subscription and will have to use an internet service provider that is capable of access to ESPN3.com.
Still, the innovation of being able to access certain aspects of ESPN TV programming through the Xbox 360 is a huge leap forward for sports and sports reporting. It is not inconceivable that being able to watch live sports events from any channel could be possible within the next five to seven years on the next generation of video game consoles.
