Microsoft has announced the addition of Canal+ to Xbox Live in France, allowing French gamers to watch films and soccer on demand from their consoles.
The move follows a similar deal with the British broadcaster BSkyB just a few weeks ago.
With the deal, Xbox Live users in the nation will have access to 3000 films, dramas as well as French Ligue 1 soccer games.
Microsoft says Xbox Live currently has over 17 million members globally. The company says the Canal+ deal is just a start for partnerships with Canal+ owner Vivendi.
