Xbox.com has stated that the full channel listings and pricing structure won’t be revealed until the service actually launches.

Actor David Sullivan recently let a tweet slip revealing that he has attended a casting call to play the role of main character Cole McGrath in “the sequel of inFamous . I secretly loved Cole’s original voice though so unless they replace him with the dreamy Nolan North (pause) I might want to play this one on mute.
