Posted on Thursday, November 23 2006 @ 12:52 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

Microsoft today released the Live Video Marketplace for its Xbox 360 console. From now on you can download movies and TV shows trough your Xbox 360.

Here's the pricing scheme:

720p HD movies - 480 MS Points / $6
480p SD movies - 320 MS Points / $4

Older movies:
720p HD movies - 360 MS Points / $4.5
480p SD movies - 240 MS Points $3

TV Shows:
720p HD television - 240 MS Points / $3
480p SD television - 160 MS Points / $2

At the moment users can already download 48 movies and 50 TV shows.

I have my doubts about this service, just like with many other services the pricing is too expensive. $6 to watch a HD movie is pretty expensive, and why bother paying $3 for a HD TV show when you can see it for free on a TV channel?
