Verizon is running a cool signup deal for their FiOS TV service for Xbox 360 gamers.  Why you ask?  Well next month you’ll be able to use your Xbox 360 as a receiver for live TV via Verizon FiOS.  If you sign up, you get a free copy of Halo: Anniversary plus 12-months of Xbox LIVE Gold.

I’m not really a big fan of watching cable or live TV on my console because well I can already do it on my cable receiver.  But I guess for those who don’t want to pay the extra $5 a month for an additional receiver, this is a good deal.

“Joining forces with Microsoft and Xbox, we are breaking the boundaries between TV and gaming, and furthering the borderless lifestyle Verizon customers enjoy with our new offers and services,” said Eric Bruno, vice president of consumer and mass business product management for Verizon. “We are putting the controls in our customers’ hands, and giving them the ability to watch TV on another dynamic device that they can control with voice and gesture commands.

“Whether it’s your Xbox, your mobile device, your PC or your traditional television, Verizon will continue to deliver the programming consumers want, where, where and how they want it,” Bruno said.

In order to take advantage of the new feature, you’ll have to be signed up for FiOS TV and FiOS internet with Verizon.  And you’ll have to have Xbox LIVE Gold.
