While we wait for the Xbox Dashboard update that is coming this week, why not take a look at Microsoft’s list of partners for media and programming? I can’t think of a single reason why not, so check out the list below the rest of the ramblings that are still coming.

Microsoft is hoping to turn the Xbox into a TV killer of sorts, but not quite because most of the content they want is still on TV. So more like a TV aggregator that will change how people watch TV, thus killing traditional television as we know it but maintaining the actual product and value. Ok, that’s enough. Just look at the list of what’s coming, when, and where:
