There are two stories relating to the Xbox 360 and ATT's U-Verser service.

Over the years we've seen all manner of promises involving integration of the Xbox 360 and either satellite TV, or IPTV services. You might remember that at CES in 2006, Microsoft announced that DirecTV would be getting their own "blade" on the Xbox 360 dashboard. That integration never arrived. In 2006, Microsoft promised you'd soon see IPTV carriers using the 360 as a set top. It never showed. In 2007, Microsoft's keynote again included the same promise, this time the software giant promising that you'd see the 360 used as an IPTV set top in the States by the end of 2007. It never happened. You're probably getting the picture.

AT&T: No Pricing Info On Using Xbox As IPTV Set-Top
Telco to Offer U-verse TV Subs Access to Feature Later This Year
By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News, 1/11/2010 4:42:17 PM
After more than three years in the works, AT&T later this year will give U-verse TV subscribers the ability to access the service from a Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console -- but for now the telco isn't saying whether it will charge for the feature.
With the feature, customers "will be able to watch U-verse TV programming, including live, on-demand, HD and total-home DVR content, on their Xbox receiver," AT&T spokeswoman Jenny Bridges said. "The Xbox will enable the same viewing experience and same features that customers get today with a U-verse receiver."
AT&T said it would provide information on pricing and other details "as soon as we can." Subscribers may be required to have at least one U-verse TV set-top, with the Xbox serving as a node, according to a report by gadget blog Joystiq.
Pretty cool if true. I wonder if Sony will get the PS3 in on it.
