Warner Music Hits Xbox LIVE
Tons of videos from Warner Music Group acts will be made available on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE, beginning this week.
Over 12 million Xbox LIVE members worldwide will be able download music videos by featured WMG artists from Xbox LIVE Marketplace and watch them on their Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Video will include clips by Death Cab For Cutie, Flo Rida, Matchbox Twenty, Panic! At the Disco and T.I. among others, with more to come down the line.
“Xbox 360 has been an important partner in our efforts to offer consumers more ways to experience our artists’ music and this is especially true among gamers who are some of the most passionate music fans,” said Larry Mattera, WEA Senior Vice President Digital Sales & Marketing. “With this agreement, we can take advantage of Microsoft’s music platform and provide gamers what they want: music videos from their favorite artists that can be downloaded quickly and easily.”
And coming this fall, Microsoft will introduce a new Xbox experience that they say will “reinvent home entertainment from the inside out, changing the way people stay in touch and enjoy the best entertainment content.” Hmmmmmm…

‘Gears of War’ Movie Becomes Legendary
The Dark Knight, 300, Batman Begins – if those aren’t enough reasons to say that production company Legendary Pictures has quite an incredible rep, we don’t know what else to tell you.
Soon, the Gears of War movie will join the production company’s amazing film roster as they have agreed with New Line Cinema to co-produce and finance the video game movie adaptation. The movie will still be directed by Len Wiseman, who also directed both Underworld movies and Live Free or Die Hard, and the screenplay will be written by Chris Morgan who worked on the recent Angelina Jolie action flick, Wanted.
Legendary Pictures also produced the Watchmen movie coming out in 2009 and is producing the long-anticipated big screen invasion of the massive World of Warcraft film. Gears of War 2 developed by Epic Games will be coming out this November 7 exclusively for the Xbox 360.
