It wouldn't surprise us.

Industry site MCV is reporting that Microsoft and Sky are discussing a deal that'd see the Xbox One packaged with a Sky subscription. Sources have told the site that such a deal could see a version of the console with subscription included sold for a lower price point.

With Microsoft already trialing a similar offer with Xbox 360 and a Xbox Live Gold subscription, and given the company's emphasis on TV and movie deals being integral to the Xbox One experience, its doesn't sound so far-flung an idea. The questions then, if this rumour proves to be true, is whether it'll be part of the Microsoft conference, and if the deal will be only region-specific.
