Last week a very credible rumor ran through the gaming world like "ninjas on fire". The rumor was that Microsoft was poised to release a video download service to rival IPOD's Video Service and also Neutralize Sony's last advantage (as Sony will sell music, movies, etc on their so called PlayStation Store). As most Microsoft rumors are, this one was true, very true. Microsoft has previewed the service for TEAMXBOX.COM and XBOX360.IGN.COM. Microsoft also has a press release on XBOX.COM. The download of standard definition/high definition Movies, TV shows and more was the only piece missing from the Microsoft masterpiece called "XBOX LIVE". The masterpiece is now complete.

This is GREAT. The Music and Movie industry has been at the beckon call of Apple for sometime (something the industries HATE) and Sony's competitors in the "movie space" do not want Sony to get ahead of them (and this also allows them to make back money lost on Blu-Ray) in digital distribution to the masses. We are at a new dawn and it feels fantastic!

How do you feel about this (cause I am dancing in the streets)?

As long as MS does it right on the Marketplace, it could prove to be interesting to see how it all pans out. Apparently being able to download full movies/videos will start happening Nov 22.
