    Nice idea, but am not convinced that Live has the bandwidth to support this well. I'm on 10mb NTL, and get constant 1.17mbs downloads. However, when my mate brings his 360 over, the downloads seems to max out at about 4mbs.

    If a 720p movie is compressed to 4.3gb for example, it looks pretty shady on a large screen, and it'll take quite a while to download.

    Any actual 360 oweners care to comment?

    I'm a 360 owner and have always expected digital distribution to make an appearance at some point. Sooner than I expected, but it's good to see it's here.

    I'm one of the few who really dislike hard media, I just don't like discs. They scratch easy, you have to change them and they make noise. Although downloadable TV content isn't of that much interest to me personally I hope it paves the way for future Games downloads.

    The only major downside at the moment is broadband speed and availability. With the majority of providers now imposing usage limits, that alone is in my opinion the biggest roadblock in terms of digital distribution's progress.
