On November 22nd I found myself looking at some downloadable content from Xbox Live Market Place and let me tell you it was sweet! The service is offering some retro series such as Beavis and Butthead and Classic Star Trek. The download times are decent and the best part about it is the fact that you can preview each individual clip. Most of the shows are mainly categorize by TV stations; as of now there are not many but I believe that in the future there will be more but I guess it depends on its success.

 The one thing that has me puzzled about this service is that some of the music video downloads from MTV say ©2006 Sony Entertainment which is odd since they are competing with Microsoft and their online service. Also some of the HD movies are huge over 1gigabyte in size and I’m just wondering what happens when we run out of space on the hard drive can we copy them(movies) of course NOT. So is Microsoft going to release larger hard drives for the 360 now there is a fine question?

On the down side for the service it has been reported that it had some issues in terms of users/gamers not receiving their content after they had paid for it. This could have been to the fake foreign Xbox Live accounts Microsoft has uncovered over the past week or did they knew prior to the launch of the service hum…another fine question?

As for me I had no trouble downloading the TV shows or movies and let me tell you V for Vendetta looks great in HD.

All in all the services is great, like I said before the download times are decent and once they add more content this should be a favorite amongst Xbox 360 gamers.
