Microsoft Launching Election Hub
Xbox 360 owners can watch and interact with live election coverage of the presidential debates through their Xbox Live, Microsoft announced.
The app goes live on Monday, August 27, and includes the first wave of content that focuses on convention-related news. Xbox Live members can also learn about facts from the candidates, register to vote, and participate in daily polling.
"We want to provide our passionate Xbox Live community with a great way to experience the election process with TV that makes them participants — and not just viewers,” Microsoft VP Marc Whitten says.
Last month, Microsoft conducted an independant survey of 1,678 Xbox Live households and found that 40 percent are swing voters — those who are not firmly committed to a presidential candidate, the company said.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
