"...and what exactly is wrong with the pound?"

Well, it's too damn expensive if your sitting with american pesos, oops sorry, I meant Dollar in your pockets.]]>Dec 11th 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
Do us all a favour and stop living up to the stereotype the rest of the world has of Americans.]]>Dec 11th 2007 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 12th 2007 3:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 12th 2007 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
So this takes forever to download, is highly more compressed than a blu-ray or HDDVD (meaning more artifacts) and yet, I'm supposed to pay more. Given that there is no physical media, this should at least be less expensive than a video store...

Yeah... don't think I'll be using this.
Oh and it's in microsoft points, meaning I have to give them 25 bucks, to spend 6.49. Goody :p]]>Dec 11th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
Um, they feel they can charge that much because you *don't* have to go to the video store.]]>Dec 11th 2007 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
So stop trying to rent from the UK server and rent from the American one instead then you won't get stung by the exchange rate. Not our fault that the dollar is worth less than Monopoly money.]]>Dec 11th 2007 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
I use my British credit card to pay for xbox live but I am living in Japan, I just tried to download the HD version of 300 and it wont let me. It says I live in the wrong locale. Some global market eh?]]>Dec 12th 2007 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
Can't wait to use the system when it's a week for week match with blockbuster but until then I'm not sure I want to use 500ms points for something I can rent for $1.]]>Dec 11th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 11th 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
That's thee most virulently nationalistic comment I've heard in weeks. I'm gonna use that one too.]]>Dec 11th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/Dec 12th 2007 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/

Former = first, latter = second.

On another note, this is great news for our friends overseas, and I (still) wish I had the money to blow on HD-quality flicks (legally) accessible from the Internet.]]>Dec 11th 2007 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/xbox-live-video-marketplace-launches-in-five-new-countries/
