I havent visited Live movie section since it was introduced around christmas(where they had like 12 films). I just been on at my friends and there is now 66 movies 33 of which are HD. At this rate by end of the year Live will have roughly 200 movies of which 100 would be HD. I cant believe that Transformers in HD in the shops is like £25, and on Live in HD it's like £4. Way to save money. Did anyone else realise there is getting quite alot now? Are you gonna use this service? I will when I get my new Elite in about 4 weeks.

Can you watch the movie on Monday and again next week?
Can you lend the movie to a friend?
Can you take the movie to someone else's place and watch it?
Can I pay for the movie and watch it within 10 minutes?
Do I have to give up my precious bandwidth?

It's like saying Why buy a car for 30,000 dollars when you can rent it for a day for 30 bucks

Yeah, "way to save money", no

1. If I had no life I would do that. However my life is better than that.

Guess what , this may suprise you but....people with lives watch the same movie more than once *Gasp* 

2. No you cant.

3. Yes. The HDD takes 3 secs to detach from 360.

 Detatch a whole hard drive lol and that's assuming your friend has an XBOX 360.

4.Yes you can start watching about 5 mins after download start

I'm guessing this is dependant on bandwith ,not everyone has a fast connection 

5. Your bandwidth is seriously bad. 8mb Unlimited here in Uk is easily affordable.

Affordibility is a subjective thing , but the main problem is availibility , I should have 8MB broadband (as that's what my ISP agreed to offer me when I asked for the service) I don't even have half that speed , I live in london not some remote area in the country side.

If you look at news you'd have heard reports of ISP's not offering the advertised speeds , i'm guessing for them to do so it would take goverment legislation which would them to invest in providing the advertised speed.

 

 

 

Digital downloads isn't in the interest of the consumer IMO.

 -You don't own the content you pay for.

-You can't resell the content you pay for.

-Whilst i'm downloading movies I can't use my bandwith for anything else.

-XBOX 360 dies , my Digital Downloads disapear with it.

-Call me old school but,A collection of digital downloads isn't as impressive as a collection of physical media .

-No extras (I think)

-Time limt as opposed to the opportunity to watch it infite times.
