 Microsoft is digging up the past in its quest to take on Netflix. Damn it, I'm stuck. I'm Sam Sheffer and this is 90 Seconds on the Verge. Microsoft has been pushing for Xbox to become something more than just gaming. To that end, the company has announced a full slate of original video that it's branding Xbox Originals. The initial lineup of Xbox Originals seems to be a little bit of everything, starting with a live broadcast of Bonnaroo on June 13th. Microsoft's 2014 lineup also includes a reality show about soccer players and a six-part documentary series about technology, tentatively titled Signal to Noise. This past weekend, filming of the debut episode took place. Directed by X-Men writer Zach Penn, the episode focuses on the longtime urban legend that Atari buried truckloads of the infamous E.T. game in a New Mexico landfill. It turns out the myth was true, as construction workers did in fact unearth copies of the notorious game. Microsoft first announced plans to create shows for the Xbox last year, along with a live-action Halo series from Steven Spielberg. Unfortunately, there were no updates about that project today. It did announce a, quote, digital feature, also set in the world of Halo, from executive producer Ridley Scott. Compared to Netflix and Amazon, Microsoft's opening things up with an ambitious and diverse volley of shows. Of course, the company has quite a bit of ground to cover if it wants to compete with Emmy winners like House of Cards. For more on Xbox Originals, check out The Verge. Coming up, Nintendo announces new content for the Wii U. It'll just be reruns of the live-action Super Mario Brothers show, but at Wii size.
