Video Game Walkthrough Guide coming to WDS!
Europe XBL Video Marketplace in 2007...Maybe
A very noncommittal timeframe set for services debut.
I just reveived an alert from Major Nelson’s site that the Video Marketplace due for today is now online and working! I had a quick look and it seems to work with a Silver account with an address based in the US…from the UK. I had a quick look at the preview for V for Vendetta, which appears in a small window in the right half of the marketplace pages.
MOVIES
Currently there are 48 films showing as available for download in the ‘All Movies’ section. Titles include:
9 1/2 Weeks
Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams
Analysze This
ATL
Excorcist II: The Heretic
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
The Matrix
Pootie Tang
Romeo Must Die
The Shining
Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek VII: Generations
Unforgiven
Zoolander
The price of a rental costs 240 MS Points for a Standard Definition download, with some newer titles such as V for Vendetta costing 320 MS Points. SD downloads weigh in at around 1-2 GB depending on the length of the film. High Definition films cost 480 MS Points and are around the 4-6 GB area. At the time of posting only a handful of full movies are available in HD and these are:
ATL
Clash of the Titans (from 1981)
The Perfect Storn
Poseiden
Unforgiven
and V for Vendetta
As this is a movie rental system, there are numerous trailers which can be downloaded for free in SD and HD. As mentioned earlier, these trailers can be previewed in a small window rather than downloading them.
TV SHOWS
For the launch of the Video Marketplace service, there are 47 TV shows appearing in the ‘All TV Shows’ list but not all have episodes available within them to download. Titles include:
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - 1 Season
Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection - 3 Seasons
Chappelle’s Show: Uncensored - 2 Seasons
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - 2 Seasons
CSI: Miami - 2 Seasons
CSI: NY - 2 Seasons
Hogan Knows Best: Season 1
The small but cool thing about browsing the TV Shows is that when you enter a section for say, CSI: NY, the background changes to the CBS logo. Go into another show section such as Beavis and Butt-Head and the background changes to a picture of Beavis and Butt-Head.
The shows cost 160 MS Points for a Standard Definition download and 240 for a 720p HD download where available. Episodes of CSI: NY that are around 40mins approx, clock in with a download size of roughly 700-750 MB for SD. The HD equivalent will be around the 2 GB mark.
