looks great but a few questions spring to mind

- will this extend to the Media Center platform

- will it be possible to share content (and archive) via a Media Center or other (secure, DRM'd to the eyeballs!) platform (eg http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/media-center-news/15880-can-microsoft-say-home-server.html)?

- will it be possible to buy content (for instance for my daughter the Avatar episodes which she'd watch again) in perpetuity (or at least longer term - multiple month or subscription expiry) and be able to share them between XBoxs and MCE so she can watch inthe living room or rec room?

LZIM: The Video Marketplace will be by region due to licencing with the various broadcasters/distributors.

It has launched in the US and anyone with a US Xbox Live service can browse, purchase, download and view the video. Other countries will follow over time.

Hope that helps.

I don't know if it's just me (outside of the US) but I don't see any of that.

It's alsways nice to be excluded, hooray Micro$oft

".Avi" and archive support for the media>video blade would also be welcome (like zip and rar archives). Also reading folders like for pictures would also be good, can't figure out why the didn't include folder support (and still refuse to read NTFS partitions...).

Coulda been worse. Coulda been Batman and Robin. At least "Forever" was half way tolerable. Batman and Robin was just...

Heh. I'm all for seeing a Batman movie for sale on Live...but why did it have to be one of the ones with the Bat-nipple costumes?

It would have been better if the nipples actually served a real purpose though. Like maybe they could have shot out pepper-spray whenever he needed it. (I bet the Joker didn't see THAT one coming!)

Perhaps they were just part of the batsuit's internal radio system? One could have been for tuning AM and the other was for FM radio stations...

...

Yeah, I thought about this one for way too long. My apologies folks! Just killing time before we leave for the long weekend.
