On November the 11th the successful hit in America that is the video marketplace is coming to Xbox 360's in Europe. The marketplace will allow you to rent downloadable movies for an affordable Price. They come in both high and standard definition and are stored on your xbox 360's hard drive. Unlike the US version that has TV shows and TV network content to start with we will only have movies. The pricing is 250 points (GBP 2.13, Euro 2.91) for a standard-definition film and 380 points (GBP 3.23, Euro 4.42) for HD quality movies.

Because you are renting the films there is some restrictions like downloaded movies will only stay on your Xbox's hard drive for 14 days and once a movie has been played users can access the film an unlimited number of times over a 24 hour period. So in simple terms if you start to watch you movie you have one day to finish it.

The download size for the movies vary but after checking quite a few movies on the US store, standard versions range from 1 to 1.5gb and hd anything from 4gb plus. I think that you might get away with downloading 1 film per time on a standard 20gb hard drive but a 120gb is recommended if you have lots of music, demos and game saves.

The first lot of movies that will be available are listed below, they have been subject to change but hopefully we should see them all up there.
