Microsoft said Monday that it will sponsor a contest that asks participants to create a new television show. The winner will have his concept premiere as an exclusive TV show for Xbox Live. The Redmond company has made a strong push to promote its Xbox 360 console as a media center rather than just a gaming console. Xbox Live now hosts some 1,500 hours of television and movie content, with plans to continue to expand that number in the coming months.

A pilot of the winning show would be shown at the annual New York Television Festival in September, Microsoft and the event said. I wonder what the leading entries will look like? Something like this, perhaps?

If you were a game developer with a pretty cool idea for Microsoft, would you send us a video message introducing yourself, describe your passion for developing games and a few shots of your creation in action? For the record,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, I’m not looking to place anyone in any particular position. I am just curious as to who would be willing to try something different,
Microsoft Office 2007, rather than apply for a role like everyone else. Feel free to email us at Jobsblog@microsoft.com. - Jim Article reposted from:
