Marketplace Video Store - Xbox 360 Gets HD Movie Rentals by krystyn(@): 04-12-2007 12:51:45

As from 11th December 2007, Xbox owners with Gold membership will get a fantastic new service via Xbox Live Market Place. A Video Store is open to offer download HD-DVD movie rentals for your Xbox 360. The HD-DVD movies can be watched within a 24hr period after downloading and starting play; or store on your console for up to 14 days, to watch at your leisure.

Standard definition movies are just 250 Microsoft Points (£2.12), while HD 1080p movies are priced at 380 Microsoft Points (£3.20). Warner Bros got the exclusive Xbox contract with a line-up of over three hundred titles available to download from 11-12-07.

The 300
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Zodiac
The Matrix Reloaded
Ocean’s Eleven
The Perfect Storm
Swordfish
Three Kings
Training Day

Coupled with recent updates to run DIV-X codecs on Xbox hardware, the 360 package is a whole lot sweeter now.

	That's all well and good for Xbox GOLD members. Silver Xbox live members will see the same video titles, but won't be permitted to download for 7-days later.

	The re-launch of BT Vision this summer will supply viewers with on-demand films and sports content via their XBox. The restrictions are that its not used instead of TV, given that the XBox can play digital broadcasts. The XBox Team hinted at either HD-DVD or BluRay making its way onto Microsoft's Next Gen console.
