Update: Editor's note: this post is a duplicate of another story written earlier. Xbox 360 Fanboy apologizes for this error. We have turned off comments and ask that you direct them to the original post here.The fine folks over at ars technica are reporting that that movie and TV industries are embracing the idea of offering digital content via the Xbox Live Marketplace. In the article they compare the movie downloading services of Amazon's Unbox, CinemaNow, Movielink and the XBLM. Though no official data has been released, it turns out the XBLM is not only leading the pack in terms of studio interest, but overall interest from consumers. The 360 offers two unique advantages that the other competitors can't offer: bypassing a computer and directly playing content on your home television, and that HD content is easily accessible for HD hungry consumers. A very interesting read that analyzes the current market for downloadable movies/TV and where it's headed in the coming year.
As you know we haven't dived into the movie/TV purchasing service, but if you have, what are your impressions? Do you love it or just love to hate it?
