BBC iPlayer launches on Xbox Live today
The BBC iPlayer app launches on Xbox today in the UK, allowing gamers access to catch-up on popular T.V. shows such as Top Gear and Doctor Who through their Xbox. The application is expected to roll out throughout the course of the day and because the BBC is “free” for all television license holders, it will be available for all UK users not just those with a Gold membership. Microsoft demonstrated the new app to press at a media briefing in London yesterday, showing how the standard iPlayer interface has been built with Microsoft’s Metro user interface design and will utilise Kinect’s voice and gesture controls.
