Feb 13th 2009 8:32AM (Engadget HD)Download Movies on XBOX 360
It should have said:
Rent Movies on XBOX 360 via download
Long version of my answer:
You got to admit download is generally associated with receiving a digital format of a file, for most people this means to keep.
Having 15 day expiry date due to DRM really means that this is a Rental Service via Download. I agree with the ASA that point should have been cleared communicated.

Feb 5th 2009 2:48PM (Engadget HD)I have a bad feeling that what the industry is trying to do is move us all to digital content and have us pick up the bill for downloading there content and then paying them too.

Feb 5th 2009 1:27PM (Engadget HD)The fact is that I have no problem with VOD being offered especially since most movies are crap. However when a movie warrants it I want the high quality physical copy like a Blu-Ray or maybe a DVD for a comedy.
You need to get over what happened to VHS. That format was not worth owning. DVD and Blu-Ray are technologies that are here to stay. Don't be surprised if people are still buying new Blu-Rays 10 years from now.
BTW I have no objection to Optical Media dying, the fact of the matter is that I want physical media and IMO there will always be some physical format available. Digital distribution is fine but I have no interest in buying the same movie 10 times.
