    Problems with Xbox Live video service

    A few problems for MS Xbox Live video service:

    How are our ISP's going to cope/react when this kind of thing becomes the norm? Most ISP's are limiting usage.

    Thats exactly my concern, I download enough a month as it is, patches, demos etc.

    But concerning the issues, i like it when americans get stuff 1st because then any problems are found and most bugs and issues have been fixed by the time we get it ^_^

    I'm sowing the seeds for some serious investment in HD stuff. I'm probably going to have to change my ISP as Nildram, my main ISP, has a 50GB per month download limit during peak hours.

    I can see that being eaten up with just a few HD films.

    The thing that really annoys me about MS is that they only release a HD that is 20GB. With all my demos etc on it I only have about 6GB left.

    I have over 80GB of HD content on my Sky HD box so I will be forced to buy another HD for the 360 if I'm going to use this service.

    I have less than a gig atm

    Well the HDD space issue really isnt a problem at the moment since the downloadable content is 'rented' and is removed from your HDD after 'x' amount of time (unsure how long) - When they start allowing people to actually buy programs, then they will have to release that bigger HDD
