Limelight Networks - Content Delivery Network for Xbox 360

Limelight Networks announced that it is the Content Delivery Network for Microsoft's just-launched Xbox 360(TM) video game system and Xbox Live, the online gaming service for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft now included with every system.

Microsoft is leveraging Limelight Networks for delivery of trailers and game demos during one of the most important product launches in its history to ensure that Xbox Live audiences receive the best performance with any downloaded content.

Xbox Live is now available with two membership levels, Silver and Gold. Silver is standard with every system at no extra cost, while Gold is available via a variety of subscription plans. Both plans feature Xbox Live Marketplace, which has over 400 selections of downloadable content, including Xbox Live Arcade games, game demos and trailers. With full implementation of Xbox Live on Limelight Networks' powerful delivery network, the synergy of Xbox Live and the Limelight Networks platform continues to provide millions of gamers unprecedented online access to games, content and downloads from both Microsoft and leading game developers, directly via Xbox Live.

The eagerly anticipated Xbox 360 was launched in the United States on November 22, 2005 to sellout crowds, with many retailers opening their doors at midnight in conjunction with the Zero Hour launch event in the Mojave Desert. Gaming enthusiasts are not only receiving the latest in high performance gaming technology, but a system that promises integrated interaction and delivery of all forms of digital entertainment.
