Xbox Marketplace gets better

One of the selling points of the Xbox 360 was free access to the Xbox Marketplace, where you could download game demos, new levels, trailers, etc. This is called the “Silver Package” on Live. Since November 22nd 2006, one year after the 360 came out, you could also download TV and Movies (available in HD as well). You use Microsoft points to get TV shows like South Park, UFC, The Nine and much more. Movies include V for Vendetta, The Matrix and The Untouchables to name a few. The list of companies partnered with Xbox Live can be found here and the pricing can be found here

According to Joysig, the prices break down like this:

• New 720p HD movies- $6
• New 480p SD movies – $4
• “Classic” 720p HD movies – $4.50
• “Classic” 480p SD movies – $3
• 720p HD television – $3
• 480p SD television – $2

Not to shabby if you ask me! I have not tried the service yet, but will most likely post my experience when I do. Later!
