- Electronista reports that Microsoft is considering a subscription video service to be branded under the Zune name.
- The rumored service is expected to be separate from the live Xbox TV service recently announced at June’s E3 Expo.
- The Zune service may be modeled much like the current pay-per-title store and compete with the likes of Netflix.
- It would “most likely” offer videos to stream on Windows Phone 7 smartphones and Windows PCs.
- “Whether or not it would follow the traditional month-to-month plan, integrate with the Zune Pass, or bolt on to an Xbox Live Gold subscription wasn’t as evident.”
