Outside Xbox branches out with new channel Outside Xtra

Thinking outside the 'box.

Family bulletin time: our Gamer Network stablemates at Outside Xbox have launched a new YouTube channel called Outside Xtra, which means they've stopped having to pretend that platforms other than Xbox don't exist.

On Outside Xtra, they'll be posting videos about PlayStation, PC, Nintendo, VR and other gaming and tech-related stuff, maybe even movies and TV.
