Microsoft has announced that Xbox 360 Sky Player functionality will arrive Tuesday, October 27th.

The Xbox.com Sky Player page has been updated with the date and details, while Europe's Xbox LIVE Community Manager Graeme Boyd revealed the date via his twitter page:

"October 27 - that's the date when you'll be able to watch TV from Sky on your Xbox 360. Channel line-up and pricing to come at launch"

There are currently no details on available channels, or pricing for non-Sky customers, but existing subscribers will be able to access the service free of charge.
