Not another one??? MSN joins TV player brigade

With just the same old content... but more to come.

Surely this is getting silly, what was wrong with the one unified player idea?

It's now launched and it's... ok. Not the best design and a very odd pic 'n mix of content. Also is it just me or do the adverts look dreadful? The only way I can describe it is that it looks like the picture quality of TV programmes you'd watch on old planes. Also I thought that the whole MSN branding was being discontinued. The logo looks quite cheap now.

Somehow I can't see this being a rival to Hulu if and when it comes.

It's a strange choice of content, isn't it? And I don't think I like the "slow scroll" effect when trying to choose a show from further down the list.

Good opportunity to watch S1 of Bodies again though!
