Video Marketplace

[DeaconBlade]

how many of you have downloaded movies or tv shows? i've been wanting to but i'm so impatient i haven't. i can't wait for hours to download anything ya know.

how long are you guys typically waiting for the download to complete if you're snatched up any content from the VM?

[Gripman]

I haven't downloaded anything and not planing to.

[GiantsFanatic]

I haven't downloaded any TV shows or movies. I only look at the music videos and game trailers (the free stuff). I kinda want to try it out, but I have horrible internet, I'd probably be waiting for 15+ hours.:mad:
Maybe I'll get a movie one of these days and see how long I actually have to wait for it to download...

I downloaded an episode of a TV show I forgot to Tivo one night. The download was fairly quick and it began playing within 5-10 minutes of the download starting. I'd definitely use the service again if I had to.

[DeaconBlade]

hmmmm i might have to bite the bullet one day then.

[GiantsFanatic]

Oh, yeah. I forgot they started playing before they completely download. I think I'll give it a go in the next week.

[ZaaM IT]

[DeaconBlade]

[Higgy76]

Ive downloaded a lot of things from video marketplace, I got a south park episode, Nacho Libre, The Untouchables, We Were Soldiers, The Shining, Ballistics:Ecks vs Sever

[Higgy76]

I was just looking through the tv shows on marketplace and MacGyver is on there lol

[DeaconBlade]

how long was the DL time higgy?

[jacquered]

bout an hour, and it takes up to much space on my hard drive, and after you hit play you only have it for another 24 hours...not that impressed

[DeaconBlade]

yeah that whole rent for 24 hours thing is disturbing. i mean what if i want to download it and watch it a day later or something. guess you better only download them when you're ready to watch it lol

[Darth Doomsday]

I havent downloaded any videos. Everytime I have MS points I get more gamerpics and themes :lol:

Well the download time for a movie I would say is about 2 - 4 hours but the TV shows are alot faster. Also Once you download the movie you have 14 days to watch it, its just when you press play that the 24 hour clock starts. After 24 hours you cant watch it. And the tv shows are yours to keep

I haven't touched the video marketplace except for the freebies, but i have been rocking Tversity (http://www.tversity.com), for all of my video content on my PC. Its a little wonky at times but is pretty damn cool.

For all divx content you need to either bump up the timeout or try to watch it twice, the first time it fails and the second it starts like a champ. Plays the AVI files that my digital camera puts out as well. Nice to show the fam for parties.

i should really make a American hotmail account so i can get my south park...

[Souf Centrol]

I haven't downloaded any movies or shows

[Mikewarrior]

I downloaded "SAW III" last night in HD = Little Over 5 Gigs... It took 3 hours to get to 70% at which time you can start to watch while it keeps downloading.

The thing is, you can play 360 games/Arcade games offline while the movies download... So it's not really that boring waiting for them to download.

This is the future guys... Now if we could only buy the movies instead and have tarrabit Hard drives.:)

[Sirharper]

I tried it once just to see how it was but with digital cable there is no point.

Until this feature is released here in the UK, it sucks :lol:
