So here’s some more new for you TV viewing pleasure. I just mentioned about Verizon FIOS coming to the Xbox 360 but there’s another announcement from Microsoft with a list of all the channels that you’ll ahev access to on your Xbox 360 come this holiday season. I guess I could have combined the two together, but I didn’t see this one until after. So read on to see the entire list of what you can look forward to…
