Rumors are now floating around that Microsoft has struck up a partnership with Sirius XM satellite radio. This will enable you to stream Sirius radio to your console without any other hardware while playing computer games. Interesting stuff if true...


With some more features to be announced in the coming weeks, rumors are already circulating about the mysterious Xbox event September 25th, with the possible announcement of a free Halo 3 map pack, preview of GTA IV DLC and the partnership with Sirius XM satelite radio. Rumor has it, you will be able to stream Sirius radio on your Xbox without any other hardware, while playing games. If this rumor is actually true, it will make the Xbox the best home entertainment deal out there. Does Playstation 3 have a chance after this possible holiday massacre?

I agree, We had MusicChoice on DirecTV then they switched to Sirius and it SUCKS.

It would be awesome to listen too Chronix Radio (http://www.chronixradio.com/) while playing games.

Ive been able to do this on my Regular xbox for years. Plus you will still have to have A subscription to listen.

Its funny at how the homebrew scene for the now debunked xbox has been ahead of MS for years now, so now Microsoft decided to start stealing all the effort.

I haven't been following it at all, but I take it the Merger between XM & Sirius happened, b/c O&A were on not on Sirius before. Correct me if I'm wrong?
