Ah technology is nice... not only do I have great games to play and great Live Arcade games to play but also at anytime I feel like just watching a movie I can just choose one off the list and after a minute or two of downloading I can watch the movie This is EXCELLENT for someone like me, I dont watch regular TV and I am just not the type to go out and rent movies. Not only that but most movies I only tend to watch once and if there is a movie that I want to have in my collection I generally know before I see it that it's a must own (I rarely am dissapointed with buying things on a whim because I just have a sixth sense for what I "need"). I love my Xbox 360, though I hope this one lives longer then my last one did

That's right on both counts.
Not too sure about THEDARKPRIESTCYRIC's comment about movies downloading in just a few minutes though.
No they dont download in a few minutes but you can play it and watch it while it's downloading after you get a small fraction of it downloaded. I've been watching them that way, unfortunatly you cant pause it or do anything other then stop it and have to watch it over from the begining while it is downloading but when it finishes downloading (tends to be like half way through the movie) you can then pause it and such
Edit: Might as well just call me Cyric or Anthony or even sioux (inside joke) my SN is really too long but I chose it long ago and it is a name I dont have to worry about other people having
I'm the same way.... I don't watch TV that much and now I can rent or purchase shows I'm interested right on my 360. Of course, there's a LOT missing on there but as time goes on I'm sure we'll see a ton of more stuff added.
I haven't downloaded any but I'm guessing you can play a quick XBLA game (offline) while downloading a movie, yes?
Good stuff.... now I just need me a nice Samsung LCD to hook it up to.

Yeah you can play a game while its downloading I'm more impressed with the video marketplace already, cant believe they have stuff as steamy as 9 1/2 Weeks on there
When did this happen? Nice idea anyway that's for sure. If they launched it here, and ramped it up to the levels of Telewest (content) where you can go on there and stream a load of your favourite TV shows aswell as films it would be fantastic. I quite like the 360s playback quality on DVDs so would presume these look good too?
Damn, why we always got to be last with the good stuff in the UK
