YouTube and iHeartRadio join Xbox Live today
by Andrew Yoon, Dec 13, 2011 12:30pm PSTOne week into the launch of the new new Xbox Experience, Microsoft has announced a new slate of entertainment apps for Xbox Live Gold members. Starting today, you'll be able to view YouTube videos and trashy TMZ clips directly from your console. Of course, every app released today will be Kinect-enabled.
Here are all the apps available today:
- iHeartRadio lets you "listen to more than 800 of the nation's most popular live broadcast radio stations."
- MSNBC will surface "news, sports, and entertainment video from across the web."
- TMZ will offer the latest "Raw & Uncut video of your favorite celebrities." Probably won't include porn. Probably.
- Verizon FiOS TV will allow subscribers to watch "select" live television on their Xbox 360, letting you change channels with Kinect.
- YouTube will let you watch your "favorite viral videos," letting you watch Star Wars Kid on your TV over and over again.
Of course, there are a few additional entertainment apps in the pipeline. Stay tuned for more.

I also don't care about any extra features or crap like streaming tv/shows or demos they should just have a extra service that you have to pay for that stuff and make playing games online free. At current cost of xbox live it costs me about 50 cents every time i play because i only play online about 2 times a week on my 360. That is with the CHEAPEST method of buying a yearly subscription for $50. Not even nearly worth the cost imo.
