Even more TV is coming to the Xbox 360. 

Earlier today, Verizon announced that it will be offering a selection of streaming FiOS TV channels available over Xbox LIVE. Xbox LIVE Gold members who subscribe to both FiOS TV and high-speed Internet services will be able to view "select live channels" through their console, without requiring any extra hardware. Even better; they’ll be able to integrate the whole experience using voice and gesture commands with Kinect. 

"Joining forces with Microsoft and Xbox, we are breaking the boundaries between TV and gaming, and furthering the borderless lifestyle Verizon customers enjoy with our new offers and services," Eric Bruno, VP Consumer and Mass Business Product Management for Verizon said of the offer. "We are putting the controls in our customers' hands, and giving them the ability to watch TV on another dynamic device that they control with voice and gesture commands. Whether it’s your Xbox, mobile device, PC, or traditional television, Verizon will continue to deliver the programming consumers want, where, when, and how they want it." 

The application will be available for download next month, with 26 channels available at release (depending on the package purchased).  Additionally, customers who order the FiOS Internet, TV, and phone bundle ($89.99 USD per month) will receive Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, as well as a 12-month subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold.
