Will Xbox 360 Owners Pay For Unoriginal High-Def ESPN Broadcasts?

Post by: Sal

XBox 360 owners, who according to Microsoft as a population tend to be avid sports fans, will soon be able to access ESPN content via the XBox Live Marketplace. High-def versions of ESPN shows such as Madden Nation will cost $2.40 and "timely" HD sporting events will set you back $4.50. Of course by "timely" I mean already aired, so unless users are HD-disabled, we can't see why they'd pay! But hey, I suppose it is an untapped market with no competition and people CAN be conned into pretty much anything. We'll see I guess.
