Xbox Live adding HD movies and TV shows to Marketplace

by FakeTrout, filed in Movies, TV on Nov.06, 2006

Microsoft’s online service will celebrate is One-Year anniversary with a massive addition of new media. Starting on November 22, Xbox 360 owners will be able to use Live Marketplace for more than just horse armor or fake money. TV Shows from Adult Swim, MTV, and CBS will be available to purchase and download and new HD movies like Superman Returns, V for Vendetta, and Jackass will be available to rent. This follows a year of very successful offerings for game and movie trailers, as well as original content like exclusive Red vs. Blue clips.

Theres still an awfull lot of people out there with HD TVs with no cable or satellite feed. This fills a content gap for sure. The only worry is the Xbox 360‘s hard drive. 20GB seemed like more than enough when we were talking about game saves, some music, and a few demos. How long until Microsoft unleashes the 100 GB Hard Drive.?

Full details are available on Xbox.com

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. The network shows aren’t that big a deal…if you have OnDemand, most of the CBS shows are available through it. The big thing IMO is going to be HD Movies and events. Depending upon the cost, I’ll probably be watching a lot of HD movies…

According to what I’ve read, all movies will be avaliable on a 14 day rental basis. Standard Definition content will be 240 Microsoft Points (Aprox $3 USD), while High Definition will be priced at 480 points (Aprox $6 USD).

Yeah… rental. I’m not sure how they’re going to enforce that, what with Media Connections and all. People will be finding ways to rip this stuff left and right.

They’ll be using the WMV copy protection no doubt. I don’t know how secure it is. The best bet is to hook the 360 up to a PC and re-record the content through a capture card. And I can’t find any that accept component input…
