Microsoft's Xbox Live service in the UK will now host movies by Pathé, the label known for hits such as Slumdog Millionaire and Hunger.

Pathé joins companies such as Paramount, MGM and Universal in providing standard and high definition content through the service.

"We're incredibly excited to be offering our Xbox Live consumers a number of fantastic Pathé titles ranging from critically-acclaimed indie hits to Oscar-winning smashes," commented Stephen McGill, director of Xbox and Entertainment in the UK.

"Xbox 360 is the ultimate entertainment console in your living room, and by adding the films from another powerhouse film studio to our Xbox Live Video Store offering, we have the largest catalogue of high definition, on-demand entertainment available on any platform."
