With all the news surrounding the Xbox One and Microsoft's shortcomings it's nice to know that the gaming company hasn't forgotten about their current generation console. The partnership with Time Warner Cable is a lot like the partnerships Microsoft has with Verizon's FiOS and Comcast's Xfinity TV and this partnership will be crucial if Microsoft wants to make the new Xbox One the go-to device for watching TV.
"TWC TV is a significant addition to Xbox 360, bringing our customers their favorite entertainment in one place-enhanced TV experience, games, movies, music, sports and entertainment apps," said Blair Westlake, corporate vice president, Media & Entertainment Group at Microsoft. "Our partnership with TWC enhances all that is available on Xbox 360 today, which will we continue expand. We're thrilled to offer TWC TV to U.S. Xbox Live members and Time Warner Cable subscribers."

The Time Warner Cable live channels are only available to those with a cable TV subscription, and should be available on Xbox 360 later this summer, according to the company.
