With a desire to offer up a greater variety of content (in exchange for our pocket change, of course), Microsoft are set to being movies and television programs over the Xbox Live, starting November 23rd.

Initially, this will only be available over the US Xbox Live, presumably because of contractual complications. Lofty claims announce a hefty 1,000 hours of unique content, some of which is planned to be available in high-definition 720p format.

Below is a list of the planned available shows by the end of the year, but please note that this is far from a complete list.

Adult Swim
Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force
CBS
CSI, Survivor, Star Trek
Comedy Central
South Park, Chappelle's Show
MTV
The Real World, Pimp My Ride
Nickelodeon
Avatar: The Last Airbender, SpongeBob SquarePants
Nicktoons Network
Skyland, The Nicktoons Network Animation Festival
Paramount Pictures
Nacho Libre, Jackass: The Movie
Spike TV
Carpocalypse, Raising the Roofs
Nascar.com
Race Rewind
UFC
The Ultimate Fighter, UFC: All Access
VH1
Breaking Bonaduce, Hogan Knows Best
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
The Matrix, Superman Returns, Batman Forever

Mostly trash television then, so it's likely to appeal to a wide audience of people.

I could be wrong though, its been known to happen once or twice
