Xbox original programming will be here as early as the first quarter of 2014! I think this is great news, as other companies such as Netflix have garnered quite a following with their original programming - Orange is the New Black, Hemlock Grove, House of Cards anyone?? Especially with Spielberg on board, I'm really excited to see what Xbox comes out with. Spielberg is kind of a legend and could (probably would) make an amazing series!
Anyone else extremely excited to see what kind of original programming Xbox comes out with? What are you guys hoping for? Honestly? I love a good drama. Or perhaps a thriller, although those can be tricky to make a series out of...

Tellem gave no indication of any change with regards to Microsoft’s partnership with Steven Spielberg to produce and direct a Halo-centric “interactive” live-action series. We also didn’t receive details about what exactly “interactive” means here. For example, would it mean something as simple as being able to select your own convenient time to watch? Or would it entail something more impressive like a Choose Your Own Adventure-style format in which users can make choices for characters, affecting the outcome of the story?
In any case, it is confirmed that original programming will be aimed at both Xbox One and Xbox 360 users through Xbox Live. The initiative follows in the footsteps of companies like Netflix and Amazon, both of which are still new to the original programming era but still well ahead of Microsoft. Xbox programming was originally estimated to launch by the end of this year. Now the earliest we can expect it is Q1 2014, or “at minimum second quarter,” Tellem said.
