Robbie heads onto Xbox Live

Microsoft’s drive to extend the appeal of Xbox 360 to new markets has seen it strike a deal with ex-Take That star and current UK pop favourite Robbie Williams to provide downloadable music videos on Xbox Live.

Spong reports that the new agreement follows recent deals that have seen The Scissor Sisters and Oasis offer both free and paid-for content through Microsoft’s online service.

A Microsoft statement read: “From today, fans will be able to download videos of A Place To Crash, Lovelight, and his latest single She’s Madonna through the award winning Xbox Live online service.

“Downloads of the high definition music videos will be available for 280 Microsoft Points, standard definition music videos for 230, and Robbie Williams’ themes for 150 Microsoft Points.”
