Movies, TV Shows on Xbox Live from Nov. 22
Microsoft Corp has reportedly tied with several Hollywood studios to sell TV shows and rent movies that can be downloaded through its Xbox Live online video-game service and beamed straight onto consumers’ television sets.
Beginning Nov 22, Xbox Live users equipped with the current generation Xbox 360 gaming console will be able to watch shows, including
CBS Corp’s “CSI”, Viacom’s “South Park” on MTV Comedy Central; and movies such as Paramount Pictures’ “Mission Impossible III” and “Jackass: The Movie”, plus Warner Bros’ “V for Vendetta” and “Superman Returns”, amongst others.
A little update from Becks:
“HD films 480 points, SD films 320 points, TV shows 240 points for
either resolution. TV shows are yours to keep once downloaded and can be re-downloaded for free like XBLA games, the films are on a rental basis, and will only work for 14 days after download”

Little bit about prices and a quote from a friend
“HD films 480 points, SD films 320 points, TV shows 240 points for
either resolution. TV shows are yours to keep once downloaded and can be re-downloaded for free like XBLA games, the films are on a rental basis, and will only work for 14 days after download”
So its like a film rental service really. Probably won;t see it in the UK for a while yet. Make sure you setup a silver american account

Ah, thanks Becky. I was just wondering about retention policy and usage rights.
