I'm afraid I don't understand your title. Can you elaborate on what you are implying?



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

He was trying to be clever but it really didn't work out so well for him...

The film 300 is about a small band of warriors that fight a vastly greater army. When I said XBL was showing signs of struggle against overwhelming odds I was making a joke about the fact will have the film 300 available to download..



I see. Clever indeed. Color me informed. I don't really get out to the movies much and the only thing I knew about 300 was that it was violent.

Nice! I was thinking/hoping 300 came to XBL soon.

Thats one of the first times it's had a near day-and date release with the DVD.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

This might be the first move I rent from XBL. Cool stuff.

How much do renting movies on XBL cost anyway?



Can you only rent from Xbox Live or can you actually buy the movies?
What reselution are the Xbox Live Movies in? 1080p?
Are the downloads full feature or do they not have all the extras like Blu-Ray?

I am interested to know. If you can actually buy a movie in 1080p and keep it on your HDD that is freakin awsome, and I hope Sony follows suit. On the other hand if all you can do is rent I am not all that interested, and hope that Sony will up the anti with a true download service.

One last question. What about TV shows, are they on live?

This is what I am most interested in, because regardless of weather or not I can download movies in 1080p or not I will still get Blu-Ray. When it comes to TV shows though, I would prefer to have the on the HDD. So if it was possible to get Prison Break, 24, and Sienfield from the service it might be somthing I have to look into. I am sure the iTV or whatever it is apple has can get this stuff, but i hate single task devices. I would rather have a 360 and PS3 under my TV than a Wii, Blu-Ray player, Apple iTV, Cable Box, and a CD player.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

KBG29 on PSN&XBL

It will be curious to see what does better, the HD-DVD version or Blu-Ray version of the movie.
