Game on! Xbox Live video content

Now we have the world changing quickly... Microsoft will ship a movie download service through its Xbox game player this month. Over 1,000 movies will be available by end of November when the service launches. This beats Apples "iTV" product to the punch, with Sony and TiVo expected to launch a competitive products/services soon.

Microsoft's service will handle HD content, and Sony's is expected to as well. Apple has only announced it's intention to support standard definition at first.

What does the Microsoft system do for podcasts and user generatated content? For that, we will have to wait and see.
