Report: Xbox greenlights soccer series for original TV content
Microsoft has big plans to bring original TV content to Xbox. Sure, it already has a live-action Halo series in mind. So, what's next? Soccer.
A new report on Deadline says Xbox Entertainment Studios has greenlit their first unscripted series, Every Street United. Each 30-minute episode of the series will take place in a different country, focusing on great, undiscovered local street soccer players. Given Microsoft's recent tie-up with FIFA, it makes sense that they'd continue to focus on that lucrative demographic.
According to Deadline, the series will feature "interactive components," something that would make the Xbox TV experience rather unique.

I dont now, might be ok. Curious to see what the "interactive" elements are. hopefully its something more than 'hit A to vote for player 1'

This might be interesting if they visit really 3rd world places and showcase players from places like the Ghettos of Columbia or tiny villages in Africa and what not. I'm kind of imagining an HD Travel Channel-type show with Soccer as the focus instead of food. I'd watch it.
