Microsoft and Disney are in talks to bring live-streaming sporting events to Xbox Live, according to Brian Stelter of the New York Times. If you are in the USA and dont have cable tv then will hopefully soon be able to watch ESPN content on their Xbox 360.

No deal has yet been reached, and neither company has yet confirmed the report. Still, this move fits in well with the overall strategy being pursued by all three major console makers: To turn gaming consoles into more generalized entertainment centers by building up (and monetizing) online networks.
