Australians Can Finally Watch Good TV On Their Xbox 360


Until recently the only show available for Australians on the Xbox LIVE Zune service was The Guild. Now, seemingly overnight, the Zune video service has sort of exploded with new content — with high quality shows such as Arrested Development, Futurama and The Walking Dead now available.

According to Microsoft Australia, this is just the beginning. It still doesn’t consider the product to have fully launched yet, and will be adding more shows throughout the next couple of months.

“Zune Video on Xbox LIVE is happy to have launched a new transactional TV service in Australia,” said a Microsoft spokesperson. “Currently we are working on making as much content as possible available before our full launch. Please check back later in the month, when we will be fully launching the service with many new shows and networks.”

The shows currently available on Xbox LIVE in Australia are…

– 24
