The discussions held between the two parties on April 12 worked out strategies to bring new original shows and reruns to the predominantly young male customers of Xbox.

According to reports on Bloomberg, the offering could be done in association with an increase of $1 or $2 in the monthly fee that gamers pay to Xbox Live. This could be a new way to monetize television content from viewers watching films and TV shows over the web.
