Movies on the xbox 360.

One of the cool things I like about the xbox 360, is the ability to download in high def, tons of different movies.
You just go into the marketplace, choose media and entertainment, and select a movie.
You have to have microsoft points on your xbox live account to do it, but the points are pretty cheap.
Movies range anywhere from 280-480 points, and you can purchase 500 points for about $6.00

Right now we're downloading a horror double feature, Dark Ride and The Hamiltons. Both movies are 480 points, it takes about an hour to download at DSL speed, but you can start watching the movie once it reaches 20% complete.

So if you ever get tired of just playing games on your 360, look into the media and entertainment marketplace.
They have a ton of movies, all different genres, and pretty cheap to rent and watch.
You have 14 days from completion of download to watch them, and then you just delete them from your hard drive.
