Basically, Microsoft is expanding its already large catalog of movies, television, music and sports with new partners, including EPIX (US), Hulu (Japan), Hulu Plus (US), Sky Go (Germany) and more.

 

Services provided by the companies mentioned above will be available beginning December 6, while later in December, Microsoft will introduce additional entertainment partners, such as 4 on Demand (UK), DIGI+ (Spain), MSN (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, UK), Rogers On Demand Online (Canada) and more.
