I'm surprised no one has brought up the most important problem with HD off of live. It's that it's not really HD. If the average download it 5.5 gigs and the average movie SD DVD holds 8.5 gigs, that doesn't raise any questions to you? Until HD downloads reach Blu Ray quality I won't care.

Your an absolute gimp. The SD movies for download are 1.7 roughly. MS are are awesome compression. They always have been. Yes it's true HD. File size has nothing to do with HD. It's the information contained within. Aso 6 hours of extra features is why BD films are 15 gig. On the net where I download any HD film to my PC non compressed they are 7 GB. You really have no idea. 

 

Thanks for directly attacking my character. You know HD downloads are not the quality of blu ray. Yes, downloads use compression tools, but surprise, blu ray disc also uses compression tools. Maybe download uses better tools but downloads are no where near the quality of blu ray. If 5.5 gig was enough for HD movies we'd have HD movies on standard dvds. And most blu rays are using the dual layered 50 gig discs now. And maybe there is 6 hours of content of the film, but most of the bonus content is not in 1080p due to the disc restrictions. Are HD downloads good looking? Sure, but not blu ray quality.
