Slamdance has announced a worldwide video content collaboration with Microsoft on both Zune and Xbox platforms. The initiative will launch during the Slamdance Film Festival with a four film, 7-day program providing video rental throughout North America starting on January 27, 2010. The festival itself begins tonight and runs through January 28th.
With regard to the Slamdance deal, Zune video Marketplace will make the selected films available on video-on-demand across North America on both Zune and Xbox platforms. During this 7-day period movie fans have the opportunity to rent some of the same films being screened at the Slamdance Film Festival on their computers or through Xbox LIVE.
