New Xbox Live Slim: ESPN3 free stream for premium Xbox Live subscribers - Access to ESPN’s broadband sports network, known as ESPN3, will be free for premium subscribers to Xbox’s membership service, which is called Xbox Live. The deal is exclusive to Xbox, meaning that Microsoft’s gaming competitors, Sony and Nintendo, will not be able to carry ESPN3.

The recently relaunched ESPN3 online portal is coming to Xbox 360 , as just announced during Microsoft's pre-E3 press conference. Trey Wingo and Josh Elliott from SportsCenter are on stage demonstrating with footage from a USC / Ohio State game, and of course it has built in Kinect controller support. 3,500 live sporting events, instant replays, highlights, polls all at your fingertips or by the sound of your voice.

At a Microsoft press conference at the Electronics Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles on Monday, ESPN demonstrated that viewers would be able to chat with friends and answer trivia questions during games, in part through voice recognition.
