My Xbox Live HD Video Rental Nightmare
Okay. Before I start my tale, I should say that I am a big XBox360 fan. A really like Xbox 360.
It’s a very well designed piece of equipment. A little too much fan noise, but overall a VERY well built user experience.
I like it so much, I have two. Yes. That’s two xbox360’s. It’s actually a bit embarrassing, but for the sake of full disclosure, I admit I have a problem.
I had developed a VERY heavy Oblivion addiction problem. I also got tired of competing with my sons “Call of Duty” shootout sessions. So in a moment of Circuit City dementia, I walked home with another 360. I mean, I had 2 HDTV sets, why not two 360s?
I’m also a Big Live Arcade fan. Xbox Live Arcade is a very slick, and a clear cash cow for Microsoft. I’ve purchased at least a half a dozen games, and have clocked too much time on “Outpost Kaloki” that I wish to admit.
So when XBox announced their video download service, I thought it was a slick move on Microsoft’s part.
As I was sitting down tonight to finally try to save Cyrodiil from Daedric invasion (I’ve been taking my time through all the quests - I’m a level 32 battlemage!) I noticed the “V for Vendetta - Get It Now” message.
Cool. I haven’t seen that movie before. Let’s check this out.
