If you've been sat here for the past week praying that the rumoured price and channel listing we posted last week for the Sky Player on your Xbox was no more than a superficial rumour, then let me be the first to break the bad news.

With the Sky Player hitting the UK today, Microsoft and Sky today released the price plan for their service and to say the pricing is a little inflated is a bit of an understatement.

Check out all the plans/pricing/channel listing below. Then to see how absurd they are, head on over to see the original Sky price plans here. My personal favourite, for the top package on the Xbox, you can go to Sky, pay £7 more and get free broadband, free phone, Sky HD and a crapload more channels. Just saying.

Oh, and you need to be an Xbox Live Gold Member as well. Hey, if you have Sky Multiroom or Sky Broadband, at least you can get it free.

The Subscription Plan and Channel Listing Breakdown

Non– Sky TV customers will require a monthly subscription which starts at £15 per month to Sky Player’s Base Entertainment Pack, customers who want watch Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, ESPN and Sky Movie channels will be able to add these channels to their Base Entertainment Pack for an additional cost. In addition to the live channels, customers will also have access to on-demand programmes from channels they subscribe to.

Customers with Sky Multiroom or Sky Broadband Unlimited subscriptions are additionally able to access live channels for no extra charge. Customers who do not have subscriptions to Sky Broadband Unlimited or Sky Multiroom are still able to access the live channels by taking an online Sky Player multiroom subscription for £5 per month.
