Microsoft Picks Up "The Guild" Exclusively

Luke Plunkett writes, "Microsoft have tonight announced that they've signed an exclusivity deal with the makers of "The Guild", the internet-based "comedy" show about a bunch of WoW guildmates. The show's second season will appear on the 360's new Independent Video channel first, and only after four weeks will the show then become available on The Guild's own site (though Microsoft will still take a cut of the revenue). Interestingly, the Reuters report announcing the deal says the show will be released free of charge, and will be available simultaneously for Xbox Live users across the world (unlike the regular video marketplace, which is either heavily restricted or non-existent outside North America). Kinda strange they went for The Guild, though. The Mega64 kids might have been a more appropriate buy."

I like the show, and I`m happy for Felicia Day and her crew, they deserve some pay for all their hard work.

9.1 - I said the same thing about
Red vs Blue.... and look how that ended up, just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean people don't like it, I hate reality shows with a hatred only known by satan herself but I don't criticize them for others to see, I just don't watch them myself instead of crushing the souls of others by saying they have bad taste in program viewing.

/2 cents.

the WoW community cares about the guild, and last time I checked, there are 20 million plus active MMO players across the world. That`s who cares.

+bubbles NMC, well said. even though it is way too rational for this place ;D

really? I`m a frequent WoW player and have a 360 and a PS3, heck half of my friends list on the PS3 and the 360 are fellow guildies, who the f*ck am I?

Do you actually have any proof of your little claim? Or do you just feel it in your gut?

Well since you have a finder on the pulse of all things 360 and WOW related. I'll confer with you next time I make a comment.

Hmm, nothing of interest, so I'll spice it up!

Go to myp2p.eu. With a little know-how, you can stream nearly all sports programs for free! Yay! NFL Ticket? Outdated and overpriced! From football to the Lesner fight, it's good stuff.

Off-topic? Maybe, but definitely more interesting than this was.

I do not *cough* advocate *cough* piracy in any way, shape, or form. :D

Edit:
Hey, I got my sixth bubble back! Yay! Wise man say 'tis easier to lose your bubbles, than to keep or gain more.

Bubbles are very slippery, the harder you try to squeeze and hold onto them, the quicker they slip away.

Ok, I'm done with the bubble proverb thingy...

11 - Wow.
More shows for XBL subscribers in Canada to NOT get. Seriously, XBL's video service up here is so gimped it's not even funny. Not only did it take over a year for us to have access to the service vs the states, but it remains to this day a pale shadow of what the US receives. No wonder the 360 has yet to catch on anywhere else but the US. And Netflix? Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for this one to grace my 360 anytime soon.

11.1 - darkride I'm surprised you still have your 360 when you only wanted to play 2 games?
Are you done yet with those games? What Fable 2 and Gears 2...Why you waiting for other services?

MS is not on par with all regions and the same goes for Sony and company... I hear more people upset in Europe and AUS..Like I 've said before different regions play by different rules...
