Yea, because the screenshot was taken in the Sci-Fi genre part of the Zune store, so obviously it's the only Genre in the Zune store.

Unfortunately I don't like Battlestar Galactica, but I did like Destination Truth.

Destination Truth is the biggest BS on tv. The host obviously doesn't take it seriously, and is a total douchebag, they never actually try to find anything, and half the shit on their is fake or played up like the time when he "ran out" of gas on a lake looking for some worm monster.

What are you lot smoking? PSN VIdeo store covers many more countries, and has like 3x the content available. I know you don't like that fact, and Microsoft won't be happy with that, but he fact remains Sony has more ties with movie and TV studios and will always lock up much more content.

I wish they would go back to Xbox Live Marketplace, I hate how it has to load up now when you enter it, it used to be instant like the game marketplace.

So it could say Zune.
Its all part of their Zune/360/PC take over the world integration program. Unfortunately, in the process they made actually getting to your videos more disjointed and longer to get to. Bravo MS.
I own a Zune, but don't utilize this feature AT ALL. So, I'd be fine to see it go. You can actually remove the application by going into your memory and deleting it, and you can view movies the old way. But when you want to browse for something new you'd have to install the application again.

But are these countries getting the US version, with lots of content, or the UK version which has been so badly neutered that we'd be happy to see even one episode of Battlestar, or a film that didn't go straight to dvd.

Isnt this the same as Zune Video store? If so it's already available in these regions.
One MAJOR downside of Microsoft's video service is that there is no subtitles for any of the movies in these regions and I think this will be something that will turn out negative for MS compared to other similar services.

This show is simply amazing. It's beautifully written, the story is riveting, and Starbuck is hot. What more could a sci-fi fan want? Highly recommended. The box set is pretty cool, too. Every episode (some extended), every extra clip, commentary, and it came with it's own Cylon. amazing

Guess they didn't get the memo that SYFY is the new Sci Fi.
