Renting HD Movies

[BennyV04988]

Okay, I have an XBOX 360 Premium, and my brother has a 32" LCD TV. I think it only goes up to 720P. How much better would a rented HD movie look than a DVD movie (480P)? Do the rentals only go up to 720P?

The downloaded HD movies look great IMO. They are all 720p AFAIK.

HD movies look WAY better than DVD IMO.

Freakin awesome. So I can just rent a movie and it will charge the credit card connected to my xbox live account? Does it take long to download?

You just pay for it with points like you do with other Market Place downloads.

I have only rented two, and it took a bit to download them, and I am on 10Mb Fiber. I think they were between 4-6GB a piece, so you will want to plan ahead.

However, they said that they increased the download speed of media content by up to 3x with this latest update, so hopefully that will speed things up.

It is so annoying that the Video Marketplace hasn't come to the UK (and the rest of Europe I think)!

I think he meant that the dowloadble HD movies are in 720p, which isnt true HD

I also like to Download HD movies on my 360.

Actually I am not retarded. You have to get the HD drive separately he is not downloading the movies he is renting them.
