Inside XBOX axed in Europe

Not too long ago I reported that Inside Xbox was getting cancelled in the US and that Microsoft were still looking to re-examine their work in other locales as well. It seems they're finished deciding what to do next and have decided not to continue delivering Inside Xbox content in the EU territories. This was announced via Major Nelson's blog.

"Following the news last week that that Inside Xbox in the US was to cease production, the team in Europe has been investigating what makes most sense for them and the Xbox LIVE community as they continue to strive to deliver the latest gaming and entertainment news for users across the region."

"As such, they have decided to move away from the current first-party produced content model and transition to a third-party content model, which will provide timely and locally-relevant content to users across more of the EMEA markets. Whilst this means that the Inside Xbox brand will effectively be retired in Europe, the focus remains on continuing to provide the Xbox LIVE community with the latest and best in games and entertainment news and information."
