Microsoft and Showtime for Xbox Promotion

The upcoming launch of the Microsoft’s next generation gaming console Xbox 2 would be the biggest priority for the world’s largest software company. This is quite obvious by the news this launch is generating on the Internet. The latest update is that the company has collaborated with Viacom subsidiary Showtime Networks to promote the gaming console Xbox 2.

The tie-up between Showtime and Microsoft would result in a marketing campaign, which kicks in this month itself. This would provide new Showtime subscribers with free Xbox games and Xbox Live Starter Kits. The kits come with a 12-month subscription that allows Xbox console owners to compete with gamers around the world via high speed Internet connections. This also includes a communicator headset for online voice communication.

Videogaming consoles have become quite popular in the United States. This deal would allow Showtime to offer a complete entertainment package to its subscribers in the America. The spectrum of services with this deal would now include digital cable, satellite TV, video on demand, and high speed Internet.

The combination of these two giants would offer two packages both of which comes at a cost higher than USD 100. One offer gives new Showtime subscribers two free Xbox games. The other provides new Showtime subscribers with one free Xbox game, plus an Xbox Live Starter Kit.

A senior representative of the Showtime company said in a statement released to the media: “”Showtime and Xbox are redefining their respective categories by providing consumers with unique, high-quality and leading-edge entertainment experiences. Premium digital subscribers are 75 percent more likely than the average household to buy videogames,” said Showtime Networks’ executive vice president Len Fogge. The Xbox Live service is the perfect companion to a high-speed Internet connection, as it empowers consumers to play online.”
