Subscription-based streaming TV allegedly on they way.
According to a new report from Bloomberg today, Microsoft is planning to partner with Comcast and Verizon to offer subscription-based streaming television service on the Xbox 360.
Citing sources "with knowledge of the situation," Bloomberg says that the company is in talks with two dozen networks and media service providers in both the United States and Europe, including HBO, Crackle, Bravo, SyFy, and LoveFilm in the UK.
The report falls in line with other recent rumors, as well as Microsoft's presentation at this year's E3, where they demoed Kinect-enabled television control.
Most importantly, sources suggest the announcement of the new services could arrive as soon as next week.
