Microsoft has today announced a partnership with English television and radio host Jonathan Ross.
Being a videogame enthusiast it is almost surprising that the partnership has only just formed. Ross and his colleague are now joining Microsoft as executive producers; both will be consulting with various development teams in Microsoft Studios. As the Xbox One aims to offer a more rounded entertainment package, other than just a gaming experience, perhaps Ross is the perfect man for the job.
Speaking on the announcement Ross said, “I’m thrilled to be joining forces with Microsoft Studios. The explosion in cross-media opportunities and the chance to create and develop entertainment ideas that make the most of both the traditional and the very latest platforms is tremendously exciting. My love of games, movies and TV made this partnership a no-brainer.” As any fan of Ross would know he added a nice finishing line to round of the quote, “And they said they’d give me an Xbox One for free, so how could I possibly refuse?”
