Wow, Glovner sounds like the biggest nerd/pussy in the world. This is hilarious, his comeback always goes back to fat americans, ha ha. Glovners prolly a 400 pound fatty himself.

Good comeback.

The world wouldn’t be in such a fucking shit state without you either.

And anyway all this is only because you are usually to ignorant to appreciate sarcasm and so I can easily get a rise out of you.

Mission accomplished.

Glovner, you are a retard. Good god, Hate usually comes from someone whos had their ass kicked. From the looks of things quite a few Americans have kicked your weak ass. Shut your hole you fricken clown. There are great things, and some bad things about America, but the damn world wouldn’t function without us.

Ryan = Little bitch

I love how the Americans staple reply is “Yeah but we one the fucking war for everyone, man”

Get a fucking brain and read up on history and you will see that the americans did not win the war for the rest of the world. And as for your previous exploits of going to help out when people need it.

What like Cuba? Vietnam? Iraq? Iraq 2 (The return)?

Yup think that answers that one.

Now shut up before you do more for making the world think you are ignorant inbreeds.

Well if us americans are fat, I can still smell you stinky armpit, unclean, saving your ass from the germans, ugly teeth Europeans over here in the states!

In the end, when someone is in trouble we (USA) have to come in, and save their ass! What’s new?! The same people we helped, or saved in the past talks shit. Fricken retards!

True, it is sad, I promised myself I wouldn’t get involved but hey, you know me, never one to let a good opportunity go to waste.

Jealous in the UK? Of what? Having a McD’s on every corner so your big fat burger eating American legs don’t have to carry you very far until you can top up on grease? Jesus guys like American is even a real nationality.

You are just like the bastard son of the UK that we would like to pretend never existed. We are slightly embarassed about your growth into an adolescent country which still spits out stupid childlike ideas like that of an uneducated teenager that doesn’t yet know any better.

Don’t worry guys, give it time, you will grow up and the rest of the world won’t think of you as the silly little country ruled by bible bashing lunatics forever and when you eventually do grow up you may even lose some of that puppy fat you chubby fuckers.

Have fun and play nice.

Why would ANYONE call this service “stupid” or “unnecessary”. You can’t tell me that downloading an HD movie is NOT better than Renting one… to rent one, you’d better have bought an HD- DVD player already… that’s an investment

I bought a couple South Park episodes, and a few Adult Swim’s I pretty much ordered them and let it download over night. The next day I had to download again since it seemed to have cut off over night. When I downloaded each again it only took a few minutes and they loaded and played fine. It is a pretty cool service, hopefully they will add some better movie selections, and make it so I can transfer these to my Windows MCE edition PC for long term storage. Right now only having them on my 360 HD makes me a little uncomfortable buying any more than I have. Plus my HD is pretty much full now, I have to delete all my old stuff. It would be nice to have a HD cleaner that automatically removed old demos and trailers after a month, kind of like auto archieve in Outlook, except just auto delete to make room for the new auto downloadable content. That would be less maintenance on my part.

They are compressed wmvhd videos.
I think HD-DVD uses mpeg2 or similar.
Mpeg2 has high quality video but takes up more room.A 2 hour dvd can fit on 1 cd (not dvd) if
it is mpeg4(divx,xvid).Checkout videohelp.com

They do, but it’s a bit hard to test the service so it’s ready for millions of people to download HD content.

this is what happens when u give fat[americans] people choice to WALK in video store and rent a movie..or just sit back and download the movie without moving a muscle

Guilty as charged. Except I’m 181cm, 74kg. For those not quite as hateful to us Americans, fat or otherwise, this podcast goes into some detail about why Video Marketplace may be US-only for quite a while. (Link is an MP3 file.) The short answer: licensing and distribution rights are complex.

HD-DVD movies are 25 gigs I meant. But are 6 gigs on the marketplace.

By: Tom

Tom — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 23:48:53 +0000

HD = 6 gb? Why are HD movies 25 gigs then?

These are smaller then regular dvd’s which are 8.5 gb Discs …

I’m not surprised by this. It’s kind of a Catch 22. If they had the server capacity for the first days or two, than they’d have too much a week from now on when things calm down. Instead, they build capacity based on projections what normal usage would be. Once they get over this initial hump, things will be fine.

I’m 90% into my Poseiden download that I started Wednesday morning.

“it seems Microsoft have had good reason to only try this service out in one region - because it is so popular it is crippling their servers.”

That almost certainly has nothing to do with the availability of the service. The reason that it is only in the US is likely due to licensing.

Movies and television programs are licensed to distributors or networks in the respective country. Microsoft hasn’t licensed the content for Canada, UK etc. by signing deals with the local distributors.
